While for the most part Trump has kept up his popularity among fellow Republicans, according to the survey his approval rating has dropped within the party — falling from 91 percent in June to now 79 percent in August.

The poll also found that most Americans view trump in a negative light, with about 60 percent saying they do not have positive views of the president.
