Gallup: Trump hits the highest level of approval in his presidency, at 43.4%.

Rasmussen puts it at 47%.

Bridgegate 2: New Jersey governor orders sudden highway repair, apparently to cause problems getting to an upcoming Cape May Trump rally.

Good Walter Russell Mead piece on the Davoisie, quoted by Instapundit:

There is something inescapably ridiculous about a gathering this self-important; certainly Marie Antoinette and her friends dressing up as shepherdesses to celebrate the simple life has nothing on the more than 100 billionaires descending, often by private jet, on an exclusive Swiss ski resort for four days of ostentatious hand-wringing about the problems of the poor and the dangers of climate change. This year an earnest young aide at registration told me that, to reduce the event's carbon footprint, no paper maps of the town were being distributed; one could almost feel the waves of relief from the nearby Alpine glaciers at this sign of green progress.
