President Obama on Monday hit a 59 percent approval rating in Gallup's daily tracking poll—territory he hasn't seen since July 2009. The president's approval rating dwarfs that of Donald Trump, who is still under water according to a PPP survey released Friday. It showed just 43 percent view Trump favorably, compared to 51 percent who don't.

Obama’s approval and disapproval ratings

My, oh my, Obama sure looks good now. So good, in fact, that more voters want him to pick the next Supreme Court justice—which he rightfully should have gotten to pick anyway. PPP writes:

When it comes to the question of who voters trust more to pick the new Supreme Court justice, Obama beats out Trump 52-45.

Wonder if it’s Trump’s cabinet picks, embrace of Russia, or charming personality that’s instilling so much confidence in the American people.
