Does this indicate that real extremists are not his core supporters but the swing voters who started liking "racist" Trump after he unleashed what Iran called "hate speech" towards other countries?

Unless his approval number spike news is another fakenews / media patting Trump on the back for hugging Netanyau at UN.

Its anyone's guess. What polls can we trust anymore? It would surprise anybody here that hugging a Zionazi scores big with Neocons - evangelicals and libruls alike. Historically, polls are just metrics for honing PR. People are dumb on foreign policy anyway...

Mostly due to the hurricanes, not "fire and fury".

Some good news for President Donald Trump: His approval rating has actually risen a decent amount in recent weeks. Some bad news: Throughout the history of modern polling, no president has been this unpopular at the same point in his first term.

The weighted average from data-aggregating website FiveThirtyEight pegged Trump's approval rating at 39.7 percent Friday morning. His disapproval stood at 53.7 percent. At first blush, those seem like great results for the president, who has struggled in the polls for his entire tenure. For most of August, for instance, the FiveThirtyEight tracker—which combines public polls and adjusts for a survey's quality, recency, sample size and partisan lean—had Trump around 36 or 37 percent. Now, at nearly 40 percent, the president certainly has made a nice little jump.

But put into historical context, that's a terrible figure. Dating back all the way to former President Harry Truman in the 1940s, no president has been as unpopular on day 246 of his presidency (where Trump is now). The only former leader of the free world who comes close is President Gerald Ford.
