WASHINGTON (AP) — Recent polling shows President Donald Trump's second-term strengths look different from his first. His approval was once strengthened by economic issues, but it's now tepid on that front. His best issues now are crime, border security and immigration. Trump's overall approval has been fairly steady in Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research polling since he took office in January. This month, about 4 in 10 U.S. adults approve of how Trump is handling his job as president, back in line with his average approval rating after a slight uptick in August. During his first term, his approval also stayed within a narrow range.
