Donald Trump’s soaring approval rating leaves CNN host panicking

US President Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit a record high only days after being sworn into office.

On Friday, CNN Senior Political Data Reporter Harry Enten stated that Americans are already “liking what they’re seeing” from Trump.

A poll by Reuters/Ipsos illustrated that Trump ended his first week as president with his highest approval rating ever.

Eight years ago, the newly elected president had a negative rating of three points, a far cry from his rating now.

Enten commented the rating is “up nine points”, before noting that 47 per cent of Americans approve of Trump compared to 41 per cent who do not.

“To borrow a Donald Trump phrase, this is big league,” Enten said.

“This is a sign that the American people – at least initially – like what they're seeing. More Americans approve of Donald Trump's job than disapprove.”
