President Trump's job approval rating has reached an all-time high in the latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll. 
Of the 900 registered voters who were asked about his job performance from Oct. 14-17, 47 percent said they approved while 49 percent said they disapproved. 
Despite the negative edge, the figures represent a 3-point increase in approval and 3-point decrease in disapproval compared to a month ago.
The Journal attributes Trump's boost, in part, to a surge of voter interest in the midterm elections--the outcome of which is still considered to be largely unpredictable. 
Despite the upward trend for Trump in the NBC/Journal poll, the statistics site FiveThirtyEight paints a slightly bleaker picture, placing his aggregate numbers at 42.7 percent approval and 52.2 percent disapproval. 
Nevertheless, a recent CNN poll found that there is a near split--46 percent versus 47 percent--between those who think Trump will win re-election in 2020 and those who think he will lose, respectively.
