Summary: On Labor Day 2017, President Trump had an average approval rating of 38.5% and disapproval rating of 56.5%. Today, his average approval rating has bumped to 42% approval and 54% disapproval. How did this happen? It all came down to jobs. The overall rate of unemployment was 3.9% until May of this year hit with 3.8%, an all time low. Well, in 2013 in the Obama economy, 18% of workers feared they would lose their job in the next 12 months. Today, the number is down to 11%. Since 2013, the number of people who say there are plenty of jobs available in their community have doubled, from 25% to 50%. Obama's job growth was different from Trump's job growth. Trump's is riding off of the continuation of Obama's but he campaigned in the Rust Belt, took on international trade, and other things.
Source:Commentary: Here's one reason Trump's average approval rate is going up
Analysis: This article was put up today and written by Michael Graham, so it's safe to say these statistics are up to date. This article was somewhat supposed to give some positives about Trump but it isnt swaying me. It's good to know that jobs are improving and unemployment is getting lower, but I still have some strong opinions about our president. This article was written to show how and why Trump's approval rate increased. This article is important because many people also have strong opinions about him and are wondering why and how his acceptance rate is this high. It's also labor day today so it fits in.
