Are the bumps in recent polls real? Andrew Gelman, Professor of statistics and political science at Columbia University, contributor to Washington Post's Monkey Cage and the author of Teaching Statistics: A Bag of Tricks  and Red State, Blue State, Rich State, Poor State: Why Americans Vote the Way They Do says there's more the story than just meets the eye. He unpacks the numbers and offers statistical analysis of recent polls of President Trump's approval ratings.
