In fact, he's enjoying something that he's never really enjoyed in his entire political career, and that's something of a political honeymoon.If you look at his overall poll ratings, his favorable ratings right now in some of the most recent surveys like YouGov, He has his highest favorable ratings, well, ever.Now it's not as if they're off the charts. It's he's forty nine percent see him favorably, forty nine percent see him unfavorably.But it's really the first time that he has been seen as favorably, in YouGov polling, and he's not underwater with more people seeing him unfavorably than favorably, which is where he's been for most of his political career.
