Martino,&nbsp;said the economic news&nbsp;is a good sign for Trump.“It’s going to help the President close the gap again from where that job approval shows up to those who approve of his performance on the economy,” Martino told Hill.TV.Despite his overall approval dropping since last month, Trump continues to receive 58 percent support over his handling of the economy, .The poll was conducted online among 2,827&nbsp;registered voters&nbsp;between June&nbsp;1-4.&nbsp;It has&nbsp;a margin of error of 1.84&nbsp;percentage points.&nbsp;—Gabriela Schulte
