Three new Trump polls were released in the last day, and two showed the president's approval rate holding steady despite nonstop attacks on his handling of the coronavirus and the reaction to nationwide riots and protests over the death of George Floyd.
The outlier was CNN.
Both the Zogby poll and the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll showed that President Trump dropped an insignificant amount.
In Zogby, he is at 48% approval, just 3 points from that poll’s all-time high for the president.
In the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, Trump is at 45% approval, just 1 point down from his standing in April.
But in the poll by CNN, which regularly criticizes and mocks Trump, the president’s approval rating fell 7 points to 38%. CNN noted that Trump’s rating is “roughly on par with approval ratings for Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush at this point in their reelection years. Both went on to lose the presidency after one term.”
But in his new poll provided to Secrets, Jonathan Zogby found the opposite and suggested that Trump is doing as well as Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush were at this stage of their presidencies. Both went on to win reelection.
“During this almost exact moment at the end of Barack Obama's first term, his job approval numbers were very similar: Zogby had Obama's overall job approval (strongly and somewhat combined) at 48% approve/50% disapprove, while 2% were not sure how they felt,” he said.
“The president's job approval numbers are down, and he is in a close race with Joe Biden for the 2020 presidential election. Trump is not down for the count yet!” he added.
Zogby said that the president is strong with his base and is winning Hispanics.
“Trump faces many challenges at the moment: a global pandemic, dysfunction at all levels of government, protests across the nation, and the president himself stirring the pot. However, his job approval numbers remain buoyed by increased support among his base,” he said.
