Hours before President Donald Trump was set to deliver a highly anticipated speech on the economy and affordability, a new national poll indicated the president’s approval is on the rise, thanks in part to soaring support by Republicans.

Trump’s approval rating in a Reuters/Ipsos survey conducted Dec. 3–8 and released on Tuesday stood at 41%, with 57% disapproving.

That’s an improvement from mid-November, when the president stood at 38%-60% approval/disapproval in the previous Reuters/Ipsos national poll.

Trump’s focus on lowering prices helped boost him and Republicans to sweeping victories last year, when the GOP won back the White House and Senate and successfully defended their House majority.
