What's interesting about this is that it shows how it is all in the way a question is asked. The Politico poll removed the association of Trump from their question, and so support was higher than with other polls. This also highlights the actual importance of the presidential approval rating, because the connection of policies to the POTUS can be helped or hindered depending upon that. It's a lot like asking people about specific healthcare policies without attaching the Obamacare moniker onto them and the results being higher in approvals than without.
This is why we should be focusing on policy and on evidence based policy solutions. Trump is an incompetent buffoon, but he isn't damaging much other than our image around the world as of right now. Focus on the actual actions that are taking place.
