This chart shows the share of US adults that approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job and specific issues in a poll of 1,014 Americans conducted for CNN by SSRS, 22-25 March 2018 

Although he still has majority disapproval, 42 percent of respondents are currently giving him a thumbs up - the highest rate recorded by CNN since March 2017 where the president was on 44 percent.

So how, during a time of seemingly endless scandals trying to burst their way into the public sphere, is Trump seemingly on the up?

Digging deeper, the area in which he is performing the strongest is the economy. Despite being criticized from some corners for his protectionist approach, Trump following through on his America First campaign promises is seemingly helping to win some voters back around.

In many ways, the road ahead is looking far from smooth for the president, but having come through scandal and controversy relatively unscathed in the past, who knows where this current wave will lead.
