WASHINGTON (CNN) Americans give the nation's economy glowing reviews in a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS, and Donald Trump's approval rating may be reaping the benefits. Overall, 71% say the nation's economy is in good shape, the highest share to say so since February 2001, and the best rating during Trump's presidency by two points. A majority give the President positive reviews for his handling of the nation's economy (51% approve), and his overall approval rating has ticked up to 42% in the new poll. The President's approval ratings for other major issues have largely held steady or turned downward. About 4 in 10 approve of Trump's handling of taxes (42%), roughly the same as just before the midterm elections last year.
