President Donald Trump ushered in a historic peace deal in the Middle East, and a new poll shows his approval rating is better than both former President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush at this time in their second terms in office.
In the poll dated October 12 from RealClearPolitics, Americans proved they overwhelmingly like what Trump has done over the last 10 months, giving him a 45.3 percent approval rating.

What the poll also showed was that Trump's now got bragging rights against Bush and Obama with this survey, given that Bush at this time in his second presidential term had a 39.5 percent approval rating, and Obama's second term approval rating was at 44.4 percent.
One report pointed out what each former president was dealing with at this time in their second term.
At the same point in their respective second terms, Obama — then arming Islamic terrorists in Syria and facing heat for his Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative groups — had a rating of 44.4%, and George W. Bush — then dealing with the political fallout of Hurricane Katrina and a seemingly interminable war in Iraq — had a rating of 39.5%.
As my RedState colleague Nick Arama reported, not even the biased legacy media could ignore the incredible deal-making by President Trump to end the war and the response to it by Israelis in Tel Aviv's Hostage Square on Saturday.

Arama reported:
The people chanted, "Thank you, Trump! Thank you, Trump!"
"Tonight, we celebrate something extraordinary. A moment that many thought was impossible — yet here we stand, living proof that when courage meets conviction, miracles can happen," [US Special Envoy Steve] Witkoff declared.
"We stand here tonight, Jews, Christians, Muslims, and people from every corner of the world, united by one shared prayer for peace," he said during his remarks.
From Israel, Trump will then go to Egypt for a formal signing of the 20-point plan.
What was astonishing was the liberal media's take on the matter--in particular, CNN's.
Not only did they point out the "endless applause" for Trump, but anchor Wolf Blitzer even noted the MAGA hats in the Square.
"Endless applause for President Trump."

"I even saw people wearing Make America Great Again hats in that crowd over at Hostage Square."

Trump outperforming his predecessors is truly amazing, given that he did so even amid the absolute onslaught of negative coverage by leftist media outlets of his second term. That coverage has included the biased reporting of the actions of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement to rid our country of illegal criminal aliens by giving glowing coverage instead to anti-ICE protests across the country.
Not to mention the attacks Trump and his administration have endured by sending in the National Guard to help local law enforcement crack down on crime in Washington, D.C., Nashville, and more.
As RedState reported recently, the narrative that Democrats have tried to paint, aided by their pals in the media, that Americans are upset about these things doesn't add up. Keep going, President Trump.
