Libs heads just exploded. Should we pay for therapy?
fter months of declining poll numbers, the president’s approval ratings have stabilized — and even ticked up slightly — over the past month.
Following a low of 39 percent in the POLITICO/Morning Consult poll last month after his controversial reaction to the violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, Trump is back at 43 percent in this week’s survey. Other surveys show similar results: Trump bottomed out at 35 percent in Gallup’s weekly tracking poll in late August, but ticked up to 38 percent last week. Trump is at 40 percent in the RealClearPolitics average, up about 2.5 points from his low-water mark last month.
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. And while polls showed his decision to wind down the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program — which shielded some undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children from deportation — was unpopular, Trump’s subsequent nod to bipartisanship by negotiating with Democratic leaders in Congress may have helped stanch the bleeding.
It’s impossible to attribute Trump’s small uptick in the polls to any or all of these events. His recovery is modest at best: His 40 percent approval rating still lags every other elected president in the era of modern polling at this point in their first terms. But the data suggest that Trump, now at the eight-month mark of his presidency, has at least arrested the gradual decline that plagued him for the first seven of those months.
The body of polling is fairly limited over the past few weeks, so it’s not completely clear whether Trump has won over some of the Republicans who defected after Trump’s Charlottesville response or the GOP’s failure to advance health care legislation in Congress — or if he is bringing in new converts.

Some polls suggest Trump’s slight bump is the result of Republicans and some independents coming home. In this week’s POLITICO/Morning Consult poll, Trump was at 80 percent approval among Republican voters — up from 73 percent at his low-water mark. Among independents, Trump has bounced 5 percentage points, from 35 percent to 40 percent. Trump’s approval rating was virtually unchanged among Democratic voters, however.

better. after the ridiculous "you didn't condemn them enough" farce of Charlottesville.
Americans are too STUPID to understand DACA is unConstitutional -
and Trump is pressuring Congress to do something..
Get some GDP growth - which means tax reform and of course Congress won't -but that would do it.
Republican support is 80% -that's a bare floor for partisan number -but still a floor.
Of course Dems are still mindlessly "resisting"
When are you guys going to realize that YOU don't even like Trump. All you like about him is that he drives liberals crazy; that's it.

Polls are flawed, and indicate nothing of consequence. People tend to hype poll results that please them and downplay the poll results that don't.
I call BS on all of them.
You still don't get it. It isn't about liking him or not liking him. I am interested in achieving policy goals. I knew the entrenched GOP establishment would be a problem. I predicted it.
Now that being said, I do love that he spins you in circles.
One has nothing to do with the other. I guess complex thoughts ar difficult for shallow thinkers like you
That is how you come up with stunning analyses like "he needs to take all of the toss ups".

And that's it. Even some on the right recognize that now. It's Trump's main appeal.
It's why you never heard anyone on the left saying "Obama won & you lost" even once after the 2008 election, but it's pretty much all any of you guys post whenever you're cornered about Trump's latest idiocy. It's all you've got with him. You know he's a mess.

You must be very proud to have a 43% approval rating. Why not contrast that with Obama's at a similar point in their Presidency.
