Between August 18th and August 22nd the day after the news involving former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and former Trump attorney Michael Cohen the president's approval rating stood at 46 percent approve, 51 percent disapprove.
In a separate NBC/WSJ survey, conducted August 22nd through August 25th, Trump's approval rating was 44 percent approve and 52 percent disapprove. That's within the poll's margin of error.
Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies, who conducted this survey with Democratic pollster Peter Hart and his team at Hart Research Associates, called Trump's approval rating "remarkably stable" despite the Manafort and Cohen developments, both of which became public on the same afternoon last Tuesday.
Despite the durability of Trump's approval even after one of the most dire weeks of his presidency, most voters are not convinced that Trump himself is completely insulated from the legal woes of his associates.

Denser heads can take weeks/months for it to sink in. We all have opinion on density of Trump fans.

(7,873 posts)5. Can anyone tell if these sorts of polls are accounting for...
the fact that many Republicans are leaving the party or now consider themselves Independents?
If they are still basing their samples on old party identification data, these sorts of polls would make more sense because they would be over-sampling Trump supporters.

(32,088 posts)6. They are lumping "strongly approve" and "somewhat approve."
They polled a minute number of people (600-900 out of 350+ million), mostly white and over 40 years old. I wouldn't take much stock in them.
