NBC/WSJ Poll: Trump approval drops five net points, falling to 43-55 (was 45-52).

This is Trump's worst net approval (-12) since April 2018.

While Trump has a 43% approval, only 40% will either definitely or likely vote for him - again below his approval. That's bad for Trump.

NBC/WSJ Poll - Favorability numbers:

Trump 39-53
Biden 34-38
Bernie 37-40
Warren 31-32
NRA 40-41
Planned Parenthood 52-27

That represents Trump's lowest net favorable rating since December 2018, and Warren is still unknown by 17% of Americans.

NBC/WSJ Poll on gun control:

Do you favor...

Expanding background checks 89-10
Red flag laws 76-22
Voluntary gun buybacks 75-23
Banning semi-automatic guns 62-37
Banning all handguns 25-75

You can see the line in the sand here between banning semi-automatic and ALL handguns.

NBC/WSJ Poll: While just 50% of Americans are worried about another terrorist attack, 68% are worried about another mass shooting by white nationalists attacking people "based on their color."

NBC/WSJ Poll: Just 36% approve of Trump's response to the Dayton and El Paso shootings, while 52% disapprove.

54% of Americans believe Trump's language on Twitter and in speeches had a role in the shootings while 42% do not.

NBC/WSJ Poll: There are 9% of voters that disapprove of Trump's job as president but do approve of his job on the economy.

Of that 9%, they prefer a Democrat over Trump 73-5.

That is a segment Trump can't afford to lose in 2020, but he continues to poll below his approval.
