Trump's overall approval rating — 42 percent approval, 53 percent disapproval — has basically not changed in the past few months. Seventy-seven percent of Republican voters in the poll said they continue to approve of Trump's performance as president, the poll report said.
The poll was conducted among 1,988 registered voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points, and was conducted from Oct. 19 to 23, amid the controversy over Trump's phone call to widow Myeshia Johnson, the Politico report said.
