Trump approval is on the RISE according to new approval poll

A new Trump approval poll is out and it looks like Trump’s numbers are back on the rise after hitting a low point last month:

WASHINGTON TIMES – President Trump’s approval rating is on the rebound, says a Politico/Morning Consult poll released Wednesday, which revealed a distinct uptick in Mr. Trump’s positive polling numbers.

Last month, the president garnered a 39 percent approval among all voters. This time around it stands at 43 percent.

“His approval rating among Republican voters is at 80 percent — up from 73 percent at his low-water mark,” the poll analysis said. “The President has also bounced five points with independents, from 35 percent to 40 percent.”

“Trump’s popularity still remains historically low for a first-year president. But since his August polling nadir, Trump has earned positive reviews for his responses to two major hurricanes, Harvey and Irma,” writes Politico chief polling analyst Steve Shepard, who notes that Mr. Trump’s efforts for bipartisan negotiation with Democratic leaders also appear to be helpful.

I’m sure Trump will be happy to see his numbers going up, but we’ll have to wait for more polls to know if this upward trend is going to stick. There can only be so many hurricanes…
