Donald Trump's approval rating made strides in May when compared to the same poll from the month prior, widening the gap between Americans who are for and against him.

At the end of April, a joint national survey by InsiderAdvantage and Trafalgar Group showed that among likely voters, the president held a 2-point advantage in approval versus disapproval. The 1,200-person survey gave a 46% approval rating to Trump, while 44% of respondents disapproved, and 10% were undecided. However, the numbers seemed to only go up from there.

Fast-forward to Trafalgar's end of May/early June survey, and numbers in support of the president had significantly jumped among likely voters.

A whopping 54% of respondents either approved or strongly approved of Trump's job as president, while 46% disapproved or strongly disapproved.

The Democratic Party has apparently lost a lot more than face and confidence — it no longer has a stranglehold on the middle class, a critical demographic that accounts for roughly half the electoral pie.

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten built up to this revelation on Monday, noting first that when it comes to the economy, Americans just trust Republicans more.

When asked which political party's views were closer to their own on the economy, 38% of respondents said the Republican Party in a CNN survey. Thirty-one percent said the Democrats' views were representative.

No kidding. The Democrats and the NDP in Canada have lost the working class. In fact, they hate us.
