A new poll from Gallup shows President Trump's approval rating on the economy just hit a new high.

According to the numbers, 53 percent of Americans give "positive remarks" on his economic policies. Gallup's bottom line: "Americans' relatively high approval ratings for Trump's handling of the economy reflect the public's overall positive sentiments on a number of economic indicators, including some readings that are as high as or higher than they have been in at least 18 years."

Meanwhile, it isn't just Gallup that shows an improvement for the President on this issue. CBS News also has a new report showing a whopping 74 percent of Americans rate the economy as good.

In the new @CBSNews poll: 74% rate the economy “good” & 52% approve of @realDonaldTrump’s handling of the economy; yet his overall job approval sits at 39%.

Over the past two months, the stock market has been volatile with major losses on Wall Street. The White House continues to argue the fundamentals of the economy are strong and hopes Democrats will work with President Trump on furthering economic progress in the new Congress.
