We hear a lot from the media about how consistent Trump's job approval has been. It seems that no matter what Trump does (even things that the public does not like), his job approval remains constant. His base sticks with him no matter what he does.
That is true. Note in the chart above that his average monthly job approval has remained in the 41% to 42% range for months now (with strong approval staying in the 26% to 27% range).
But there is another side to that approval coin. Disapproval has also been consistent, and much larger than approval. The average monthly job disapproval has remained in the 53% to 54% rage (with strong disapproval in the 41% to 43% range).
In fact, those who strongly disapprove are as large a percentage as the total approval (somewhat approve + strongly approve added together).
These are not good numbers for Trump, and it's even worse that he can't seem to improve them. This is a presidency that is in trouble.
The chart below shows a demographic breakdown of August job approval/disapproval.
The charts reflect results of the latest Gallup Poll -- done between August 20th and 26th of a national sample of 1,509 adults, with a 3 point margin of error.
