Trump Approval At 45%; Support Among Hispanics, Western And Union Voters Jumps Double Digits
Zogby Analytics ^ | 08 August 2017

The President's approval rating has rebounded somewhat since our July poll. Following a series of disastrous weeks, Trump's approval numbers have moved up slightly, especially among his base and a few other sub-groups not known for their support of the president. On the heels of replacing key White House personnel, Trumps looks for a reset after 200 rather chaotic days in office. Recently, President Trump has talked tough to North Korea and has supported sanctions against the nuclear dictatorship, while also trying to reign in leaks coming out the White House.

Trump's biggest support and other improvements came from his base. These groups are Catholics (53% approve/43% disapprove), Born Again voters (62% approve/32% disapprove), Southern voters (44% approve/50% disapprove). Trump's s approval increased 10% in the west to 43% approve/52% disapprove. There was also an increase among voters in the East, in July Trump had 41% approve/55% disapprove among Easterners, in this recent August poll, Trump's numbers improved to 46% approve/50% disapprove.

Trump's approval ratings remained highest among both these unique sub-groups which have traditionally given him higher approval ratings, while Trump's numbers also increased significantly among union voters from 43% approval to 51% approval in August.

Zogby and Rassmussen are both back to mid-40s, which is fine with me at this stage. Glad to see Ras go back up. The chaos of a couple years ago with the communication office has subsided and the new order under Kelly has gotten the messaging back on track. Good to see. I don’t live and die by polling, but they dipped rapidly for a few weeks and even the best polling was looking bad for awhile. We’re back to the norm.

The more the filthy, lying left tries to character assassinate Trump and his family the more people are going to support him.

Everyone’s not a dyed in the wool, liberal, elitist idiot like they are.

“Who said he had a series of disastrous weeks??? Disastrous in what way?? Disastrous according to whom??? The liberals???”

Exactly.

They try to control the language and emotions surrounding current events, with respect to nothing objective.

Trump’s approval numbers were lower in the South than in the East or the Midwest? That’s gotta mean that large chunks of the GOP base are down on him. I also saw where his approval ratings on the economy were lower (39%) than overall (44%) on another survey. Before the midterms, I predict his economic approval ratings will be quite high. And before the next presidential elections, his Southern approval ratings will be in the 60s. This is actually very good news.

Yup. Among Republican voters, he has only a 76% approval rating. When the Republicans vote for him 96%, he’ll be above 50%. The great news is that 21% of Blacks approve of him, as do 42% of Hispanics.

Trump's numbers also increased significantly among union voters from 43% approval to 51% approval in August.

That's a big jump...great to have the union guys with us.

I believe the numbers are way higher than 45 percent.Zogby has been proven totally unreliable.
