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, reports the Washington Examiner.
Results from the most recent Politico/Morning Consult survey put the president at 43% approval, up from the 39% he earned following his handling of the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. 
A Marist College poll last week has the president at 39% approval, compared to the 35% he previously earned. 
Gallup’s weekly questionnaire returned similar results, with 38% responding favorably, resulting in a 3% 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.”
