That's more than double the percentage of voters who said they strongly approved of the work Trump was doing.

Further, the poll finds Trump's approval rating at 41 percent.

American voters disapprove 60 - 32 percent of Trump's response to the events in Charlottesville.

Pollster Tim Malloy says 22 percent of voters said that healthcare is the most important problem facing the nation today.

Indeed, Trump's campaign-style rally in Phoenix Tuesday even led a former director of national intelligence, James Clapper, to suggest he was anxious about Trump's access to the U.S.'s nuclear weapons.

Trump's approval rating is 35 percent and his disapproval percentage was 59 percent.

Concerning the media, target-recurring Mr. Trump, Americans disagree with a majority (55%) of the coverage that they are the head of State of the united states, but they are still more numerous (62%) blame this one the way he describes it.

And just a week ago, Trump was riding much higher with GOP voters, garnering 81 percent support in the Politico/Morning Consult survey. Since Trump became president, his lowest approval rating was 33 percent on August 2 and the highest was 41 percent on March 7.

Every party, gender, education, age and racial group disapproves except Republicans, who approve 77 - 14 percent; white voters with no college, approving 52 - 40 percent, and white men, who approve by a narrow 50 - 46 percent.

In the following characteristics, 62 percent say Trump doesn't provide moral leadership, 61 percent say he is not honest, 61 percent say he doesn't have good leadership skills, 57 percent said he doesn't care about average Americans, 68 percent say he is not level-headed and 63 percent said he doesn't share their values. 19 percent said race relations, and 15 percent said the economy.

Now, 73 percent of Republicans approve of Trump, down from 76 percent from a poll that was released on August 9, which had been his previous low.

The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent.
