President Trump's approval rating hit 38% in the latest IBD/TIPP poll after what pundits routinely described as a terrible month for the president. While still low, that represents a six-point gain over the previous month.
Regionally, Trump's gains were strongest in the South, where his approval jumped 13 points to 48%. He firmed up support among Republicans as well, with an 8-point increase to 79%. He gained 14 points among those with a high school education, 10 points among conservatives, 7 points with white men, and 4 points among those living in rural parts of the country.
What's more, Trump gained 12% in the proprietary IBD/TIPP Presidential Leadership Index, which reached 40.2, regaining the ground he lost in the previous month. The Index is based on presidential favorability, job approval and leadership poll results. The highest Trump has scored on this index was 49.2 in his first month in office. By way of comparison, President Obama's Leadership Index averaged 46.9 in his second term.
Trump's gains come despite the overwhelmingly negative coverage of his response to the Charlottesville, Va., violence on Aug. 12, and at least partially reflect the public's assessment of Trump's and his administration's response to the devastating impact of Hurricane Harvey, which made landfall on Aug. 25. The poll also reflects the impact of improving economic numbers.

To destroy a nation, destroy its history. Its an old tried and true tactic.
How can his poll numbers be up? to listen to the media, this administration is in meltdown mode, this president is borderline not all there, messed up in the head, etc.
Is the media not giving us an accurate portrayal of what’s really going on?
Too bad the final say in a lot of cases falls in the hands of pandering Democrats on a city council.
translation: The Democrats once again shot themselves in both feet and in the arse with this Antifa business.
