8. Super misleading headline.

This is a single poll and it still shows Trump at -19% net, which is really terrible. The change from the previous poll can be explained by margins of error. In reality, statistically the polls do not show any significant difference. The fact that the poll also showed significant opposition to all of Trump's recent actions tells you that his overall approval isn't improving.

From poll aggregators, https://votehub.com/polls/ actually shows Trump's aggregate approval at the lowest point of this term. https://fiftyplusone.news/polls/approval/president shows his aggregate approval was higher as recently as January 7. And https://www.natesilver.net/p/trump-approval-ratings-nate-silver-bulletin shows his aggregate approval was higher as recently as December 31. Both show Trump's aggregate approval very close to their low point of this term.

Bottom line: Trump's approval rating has NOT improved due to recent actions, and polling on those actions shows significant disapproval of those actions.
