President Donald Trump enjoyed a three-point improvement in his overall approval ratings over the course of a nearly monthlong barrage of negative reports by major media outlets covering his administration’s continuing enforcement of a Clinton-era policy of separating illegal alien children from people with whom they were apprehended.

According to a weighted average of approval polls maintained by RealClearPolitics, only 42.2 percent of Americans approved of Trump’s performance on June 8 and 53.6 percent disapproved, adding up to a gap of 11.4 percent.
