President Donald Trump’s approval rating held steady at 47% in two new polls this week, five points above his 42% average rating in his first term, according to Gallup, as one of the new surveys shows most voters approve of his Washington, D.C. crime crackdown.
Aug. 25-4 net approval rating: Trump’s approval rating in the most recent Morning Consult poll was consistent with its survey last week that found 47% approve of his job performance and 51% disapprove, higher than his 45% approval rating before his Washington, D.C. crime crackdown (the Aug. 22-24 poll of 2,200 registered voters has a 2-point margin of error).
Aug. 25-2: A total of 47% approve of Trump’s job performance and 49% disapprove in the most recent Harvard CAPS/Harris poll of 2,025 registered voters taken Aug. 20-21 (margin of error 2.2), the same approval rating he received in the groups’ July poll.
