Washington Examiner ^ | June 18, 2017 | Paul Bedard

President Trump has a higher approval rating than virtually every other leader in Washington, a little reported fact that emerged in a new survey of the nation's political officials.

According to a Zogby Analytics poll, the president's approval rating is higher than for Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, House Speaker Paul Ryan, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

It's even better than for Congress.

Only Defense Secretary James Mattis has a higher rating than the president, 43 percent to Trump's 41 percent in the Zogby survey.

The full approval rating list:

President Trump - 41% Defense Secretary James Mattis - 43% Congress - 25% Nancy Pelosi - 29% Paul Ryan - 36% Chuck Schumer - 33% Mitch McConnell - 30% Attorney General Jeff Sessions - 35%

I am so tired of this Russia stuff. I voted basically for Trump to reform taxes and to bring jobs back to America - "Make America Great Again" and the only thing I hear is Russia, Russia, Russia. Is anyone else bored by this obstruction/collusion stuff? Are you all prepared to have this extensive and expensive investigation go on for years and that is what tops the political news for the next 3-4 years?

Also it looks like others are tired of politics by the polling numbers below.

Of course, if you leave progressives, democrats, communists (but I repeat myself) and all other manner of resistocrats out of the polling, his approval is really closer to 99 percent.

We need to get Ryan deposed. Our best bet is to go for Nehlen in the 2018 primary—and ANYBODY in the general. A communist in his seat is better than Ryan as speaker. He is a treacherous, corrupt, mendacious, duplicitous FAILURE.

Trump is popular because the public hates Congress. They were sent to Washington to serve our interests but only serve themselves.

The Democrats lost their stranglehold on the American people and they cannot stand it. Imagine have a populous thinking for themselves, that is just not in the Democrat playbook.
