Trump gets poll boost after golfing silence

[ahlam1399]

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump enjoyed a modest bump in popularity over the Christmas break, prompting pollsters to wonder whether he´s more popular when he stays out of the news. During several low-key days at his sun-kissed Florida golf course, Trump´s approval ratings increased from 36 percent on the eve of his departure to 40 percent on his return, according to the latest Gallup polls. While he remains historically unpopular, his approval rating is today at a higher level that at any point since June last year ? the honeymoon of his presidency. That bump has rekindled a long-suspected theory among poll-watchers: the most attention-hungry president in modern times might actually be better off slightly out of the limelight. ?It´s hard thing to prove? said Kyle Kondik, of the University of Virginia, who suspects Trump ?does a little bit better in approval when he´s not dominating the news so much.?
