U.S. President Donald Trump's job approval ratings have surged to nearly an all-time high ahead of pending Senate impeachment trial.
Axar.az reports citing Turkish media.
In the most recent Gallup poll released on Monday, 44% of Americans said they approve the job he is doing as president, nearly 5% above the 39-41% ratings he received as the Democrat-led impeachment proceedings started in the fall.
At the height of his popularity during his presidency, Trump enjoyed approval ratings around 46%, and on average he was never below 40%.
According to the poll, 88% of the Republicans, 37% of independents and 10% of Democrats approve of the job Trump is doing, which shows the impeachment inquiry has not had a negative effect on the administration's popularity.
Conducted in Jan. 2-15, the poll highlighted that 46% of Americans say they would like their senators to vote to convict Trump and remove him from office, while 51% want their senators to vote against the conviction.
It also revealed that popular approach to Trump's impeachment is sharply divided along partisan lines.
93% of Republicans reject convicting Trump and 84% of Democrats back it. Independents are evenly divided, with 49% in favor and 46% opposed.
