The latest Hill-HarrisX poll released Friday found that 83 percent of GOP voters said they approve of Trump’s job performance, a 2-point drop from an identical poll conducted last month.

Meanwhile, a CNN poll released Tuesday found that 60 percent of US voters say Trump does not deserve to be reelected in next year’s election.

The CNN poll, which was conducted by SSRS, shows Trump’s approval rating at just 39 percent, with 55 percent disapproving.

His disapproval rating is the highest it's been since early February, with approval the lowest since January.

Further, 51 percent say Trump is doing a poor job keeping important promises he made during the presidential campaign.

Trump has averaged about 38 percent approval rating since he took office, the lowest by far for any president in his first 2 1/2 years in office in surveys dating back to former President Harry Truman over 70 years ago.

Trump’s volatile summer, including several sudden policy shifts on firearms and trade, as well as stubborn the defense of his untrue statements, has led to a worsening of public trust in the White House.
