The poll results from Gallup also show the president's approval rating broke records in terms of polarization.
The day before the Senate is expected to acquit Donald Trump in his impeachment trial, a Gallup poll shows the president's approval rating is the highest it has ever been.
A large majority of Republicans, 94 percent, said they supported the president, while less than 10 percent of Democrats did. Somewhat less than half of independents, 42 percent, expressed support for Trump. "The 42 [percent] approval rating among independents is up five points, and ties three other polls as his best among that group. Democratic approval is 7 [percent], down slightly from 10 [percent]," Gallup said.
