The Monmouth poll was slightly more favorable to Trump than most recent surveys. The poll found 49% of those surveyed disapproving of Trump's job performance and 41% approving. That was about the same as a Monmouth poll taken in July. Averages of recent, nonpartisan public polls show about 57% of Americans disapproving of Trump's job performance and 38% approving. The Monmouth poll was taken Aug. 10 and 14 by telephone among 805 U.S. adults.
