But two new polls
in the past week suggest that the Manafort conviction and Cohen plea
have had exactly zero impact on the president’s popularity. An NBC News
poll that covered August 22, the day after the news about Manafort and
Cohen broke, found that 46 percent of respondents still viewed Trump
favorably, with 51 percent disapproving of his performance. That’s still
about 10 points
higher than his ratings back in December. A separate NBC/Wall Street
Journal poll conducted in the three days after the two criminal cases
concluded found that Trump’s approval rating was 44 percent, with 52
percent of those polled viewing Trump unfavorably.
