In order of approval

Just 36 percent of those reached by pollsters said they have either very or somewhat positive feelings about Trump, 2 points lower than in the poll’s June iteration. But at 36 percent, Trump still finished 6 points higher than Clinton, his 2016 Democratic opponent, about whom just 30 percent of respondents said they feel either very or somewhat positive.

Respondents expressed warm feelings for former President Barack Obama, about whom 51 percent said they feel positive, compared with 35 percent who said they hold negative feelings about him. Forty-four percent said they feel positive about Sanders, and 45 percent said the same of former President George W. Bush. Thirty percent of those polled said they hold negative feelings toward both Sanders and Bush.
