Let's not get carried away here. President Trump's latest approval rating of 43 percent isn't going to land him atop the list of most popular presidents ever. But it is a three-point jump from last month, and you can be forgiven for finding it extraordinary considering the constant pounding the president takes from the press and the influential-for-some-reason late night talk hosts.
To listen to some of them, you'd think we had elected a completely incompetent, racist liar to serve as our president. How could it be that even 43 percent of Americans would approve of such a man?
