Republican strategist Conor Maguire said despite Republican losses in the midterms, Trump's latest approval ratings show Americans are satisfied with the economy under his administration. 
 
"We're now seeing things kind of tread back to the economy, in terms of those numbers that show the president's approval going up," Maguire told Hill.TV's Jamal Simmons on "What America's Thinking." "Those are some of the best approval numbers we've seen, at the high forties, low fifties — 53."
 
The RealClearPolitics Presidential Average shows Trump's approval rating at 42.7 percent, while his disapproval rating sits at 53.1 percent. 
 
The American Barometer was conducted Nov. 26-27 among 1,031 registered voters. The sampling margin of error is plus or minus 3.05 percentage points.
