   President Trump’s approval rating has hit a record high among   
   his supporters in the latest Hill-HarrisX poll released on   
   Monday.   
      
   Of those surveyed, 90 percent of Republicans said they approve   
   of Trump’s job performance, compared to just 10 percent who did   
   not have a favorable view of the president. That is the highest   
   favorable rating among Republicans in the Hill-HarrisX poll   
   since it began asking the question in 2018.   
      
   Forty percent of independents, meanwhile, said they approved of   
   Trump, compared to 16 percent of Democrats.   
      
   Overall, Trump’s approval dipped 2 points from the previous   
   December poll to 47 percent, while his disapproval rating ticked   
   up to 53 percent.   
      
   The survey comes as lawmakers in Washington return to Capitol   
   Hill this week to face dueling crises: Trump’s ordering of an   
   air strike that killed a top Iranian official and his impending   
   impeachment trial in the Senate.   
      
   In reaction to the strike killing Gen. Qassem Soleimani in   
   Baghdad, Iran announced that it was officially ending its   
   commitment to the 2015 nuclear deal. Though Trump had pulled the   
   U.S. out of the Obama-era deal in 2018, Europe has been trying   
   to keep the terms the deal, which includes curtailing Iran’s   
   nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.   
      
   Iraq’s parliament, meanwhile, voted on Sunday to expel American   
   and foreign troops from the country, a decision Secretary of   
   State Mike Pompeo said the U.S. would not heed.   
      
   Trump is also facing an impeachment trial in the Senate that is   
   expected to take place some time this month.   
      
   The House voted almost exclusively along party lines last month   
   to impeach Trump on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.   
      
   However, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) decided to withhold the   
   two articles of impeachment against Trump as a way to pressure   
   Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to concede to   
   their demands of calling in witnesses.   
      
   The Hill-HarrisX surveyed 320 Republicans, 370 Democrats and 290   
   independents across the country. The poll has a margin of error   
   of plus or 3.1 percentage points.
