The survey conducted and released by ABC News/Washington Post on Friday said 53
percent of the figure included those who "strongly” disapproved of Trump’s
performance in the White House.
The poll also indicated that just 36 percent of respondents approved of Trump’s
job performance, matching his low in surveys carried out since he was
inaugurated as president in January of 2017.
In the previous ABC News/Washington Post poll in April, Trump's approval rating
was 40 percent and his disapproval rating was 56 percent.
The Friday poll was administered among 1,003 adults and was conducted between
August 26 and August 29 via landlines and cellphones. The poll enjoyed a margin
of error of plus-or-minus 3.5 percentage points.
Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen has pleaded guilty to
several counts of felony. Paul Manafort was found guilty of eight charges.
The results of the latest survey came just a week after Trump’s former campaign
chairman Paul Manafort was convicted of tax fraud and former lawyer Michael
Cohen admitted that he violated campaign finance laws at Trump’s behest.
Meanwhile, the ABC News/Washington Post also found that 49 percent of the
respondents favored impeachment proceedings that could lead to Trump being
removed from office, while 46 percent said they opposed such a move.
