President Trump sees poll improvement after summer slumps

President Trump’s approval ratings dipped to some historic lows over the summer, but, based on recent inquiries conducted by various opinion pollsters, his numbers show signs of improvement.

Results from the most recent Politico/Morning Consult survey put the president at 43 percent approval, up from the 39 percent he earned following his handling of the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.

A Marist College poll last week has the president at 39 percent approval, compared to the 35 percent he previously earned.

Gallup’s weekly questionnaire returned similar results, with 38 percent responding favorably, resulting in a 3 percent increase since August.

The gains are, according to Politico, generally due to improved opinions among Republicans and Independents, as Democrats tended to express the same levels of approval they had in the past.

“There has been some rallying behind President Trump for his handling of hurricanes Harvey and Irma,“ Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, noted. "But, his improved standing is seen only among his core supporters. He is still unable to reach beyond his base."
