WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Donald Trump's approval rating currently stands at 41%, consistent with the 40% to 44% range it has been in since May.
These data are from the latest Gallup poll, conducted Aug. 1-14, during which news coverage was largely dominated by mass shootings that occurred in Texas and Ohio on Aug. 3 and Aug. 4. In the wake of these mass shootings, Trump has been urged to take legislative action on gun control and has held bipartisan talks about various gun control measures.
Trump's latest rating is close to his average of 41.7% for 2019 so far -- an average that is a bit higher than his average ratings for 2017 (38.5%) and 2018 (40.3%).
Currently, 88% of Republicans, 37% of independents and 4% of Democrats approve of the job Trump is doing.
