Donald Trump approval ratings make a comeback after hitting an all-time low

United States President Donald Trump's approval ratings were at an all-time low in the past week. The percentages fluctuated throughout November, but did not get any lower than the score he received on Oct. 30. Fortunately for Trump, his approval ratings have seen a steady rise during the past few days.

This is according to the polls conducted by Gallup News, which tracked Trump's approval/disapproval ratings via phone interviews with approximately 1,500 American adults. They said that there is a 3 percent margin of error either way for these polls.

Oct. 30 saw the United States President's disapproval rating rise to 62 percent. This, along with his 33 percent approval rating on the same date, were thought to be the worst numbers for any president in the first term of public service. Another poll from the Huffington Post showed Trump's approval/disapproval rating at 38.8 percent and 56.8 percent respectively, on the same date.

However, Trump's ratings made a comeback and, as mentioned, his disapproval ratings were on a steady decline during the final weeks of November. The latest Gallup poll, dated Nov. 27, showed Trump at a 56 percent disapproval rating and 37 percent approval. Meanwhile, Huffington Post's poll results for the same day placed the president at 56.1 percent disapproval and a 38.4 percent approval rating.

Trump recently achieved success when the Senate Budget Committee cleared his plans for tax cuts. While this in itself is a minor victory, some are implying that Trump is finally heading in the right direction. At the very least, Trump has gained a slight momentum because the Senate who previously disagreed with him are now seeing his plans in a different light.

If the polls are to be believed, it seems that Trump is slowly regaining the trust of the people. However, it should be noted that while his current poll results are an improvement, they are still too low.
