After a months-long slide in the polls, President Trump has enjoyed a small bounce-back so far in September.
The latest data came Wednesday in a Politico/Morning Consult poll, which shows Trump up to 43 percent from his nadir in August of 39 percent. From Politico:
The 43 percent figure matches Trump’s standing in the latest Economist/YouGov poll—the best top-line figure for the president in a major poll since June, per the RealClearPolitics average.
Trump also ticked up Tuesday to 39 percent in Gallup’s daily tracking poll, his highest result in that survey since July. The RCP average shows the president at 40 percent overall.
The bump comes on the heels of three weeks in which the Trump administration led a well-received response to two hurricanes and began to deal with congressional Democrats on multiple issues, including a government spending impasse.
August saw the president’s widely criticized response to white supremacist-led violence in Charlottesville and his repeated heckling of Republican leaders.
