Trump Full-Month Approval Up in August
Friday, August 31, 2018
When tracking President Trump’s job approval on a daily basis, people sometimes get so caught up in the day-to-day fluctuations that they miss the bigger picture. To look at the longer-term trends, Rasmussen Reports compiles the numbers on a full-month basis, and the results for Trump’s presidency can be seen in the graphics below.
The president earned a monthly job approval of 47% in August, up one point from July and just two points shy of 49% in April, his high for the year to date. Fifty-one percent (51%) disapproved of his job performance last month, down one point from the month before.
