After a withering August, President Donald Trump’s approval ratings rose into the 40s across several polls released Tuesday and Wednesday.

The president’s approval ratings slumped last month after Trump was hammered for his response to the deadly, race-fueled rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

But a Politico/Morning Consult poll released Wednesday found that Trump is back at a 43 percent approval rating after dipping to a dismal 39 percent in August. The survey also showed that Trump’s approval rating among Republican voters climbed back up to 80 percent from his low-water mark of 73 percent in August.

“Trump’s post-Charlottesville plunge proved to be short-lived, and his approval has stabilized,” Morning Consult Co-founder and Chief Research Officer Kyle Dropp said, according to Politico. “A key driver of this movement appears to be independents. Immediately after Charlottesville, 35 percent of independent voters approved of Trump, and 58 percent disapproved. In this latest poll, that has risen to 40 percent approval and 52 percent disapproval.”

Other polls showed upticks for Trump during the first few weeks of September. RealClearPolitics’ most recent polling spread found that an average 39.7 percent of respondents approve of Trump’s job performance, while 55 percent disapproved. This is 2.5 points ahead of his approval rating’s low-water mark back in August.

The most recent Gallup poll found that Trump’s approval ratings had risen from a 35 percent low-water mark to 38 percent. Trump experienced a 1-point percentage uptick in this poll each week during the past four weeks.

Tuesday’s Rasmussen Reports poll found that 43 percent of likely U.S. voters approve of Trump while 55 percent disapprove. This is up from the 40 percent who approved of him during the thick of the Charlottesville controversy. In addition, 27 percent of respondents strongly approved of Trump’s performance, while 45 percent strongly disapproved.

Some pollsters attributed Trump’s uptick in the polls to his response to the two hurricanes that ravaged Texas, Louisiana and Florida over the past few weeks. Trump’s support for those affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma most likely helped balance out the Charlottesville negativity in the polls.

The revived approval ratings for the president come at a key time as the White House prepares to make a major push to pass tax reform on Capitol Hill. The polling bump gives the administration a badly needed boost to the political capital it can spend on that effort.
