TRUMP RISES AGAIN – AT 9:47 A.M. ET:   Rasmussen shows still one more uptick in the president's approval rating: 

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 46% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) disapprove.

This is the president’s highest job approval rating since late June.

The latest figures include 29% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 45% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -16.

COMMENT:  True, it's one poll, and others will show different numbers.  But Rasmussen was particularly accurate in calling the election, and runs an excellent daily tracker.

The rising numbers will allow Trump to do what we discussed in the post just below.  He is gaining political strength...and independence.  And he is getting rave reviews over his handling of the hurricane crisis.

It can change, but, for now, he's sailing.
