President Donald Trump is reported to have an 87% approval rating among Republicans in the latest FOX News poll, though his support varies among 'Make America Great Again' and 'non-MAGA Republicans'.

Trump had a 98% approval rating among respondents who identified themselves as "MAGA Republicans, but only a 63% approval among those who describe themselves as 'non-MAGA Republicans.' Additionally, 95% of MAGA respondents said the president was focused on the right issues while 57% of non-MAGA Republicans believed the same, totaling 83% among both groups.

Trump's overall approval rating was reported to be at 43% and his disapproval rating was at 57% for a -14% net approval rating. A majority 60% of respondents said the president was focused on the wrong issues while 40% said he was focused on the correct ones.

The FOX News poll nearly matched Trump's average 43.4% approval and 54.6% disapproval rating, according to Real Clear Polling, which included its poll as well as Rasmussen Reports, the Daily Mail, CBS News, CNN, Reuters/Ipsos, the Economist/YouGov and others conducted between February 17 and March 5.

Trump's approval rating hit a new low for his second of two non-consecutive terms amid backlash stemming from the escalating conflict with Iran, according to the YouGov/Economist poll published earlier this week. The survey, which was conducted between February 27 and March 2 and included 1,515 respondents, showed that Trump's net approval rating dropped to -21, with a 38% approval rating and a 59% disapproval rating for his second-term job performance.

The president currently has his lowest approval rating since November 2017, during his first of two non-consecutive terms, and his highest disapproval rating of his second term. A majority 51% of Americans said they strongly disapprove Trump's job performance, which is the highest percentage of any point during his two terms in office and the first time he's crossed the 50-percent threshold.

The president was also reported to have dropped to a record low in support among independents, with just 26% approving his job performance while 69% disapproved, resulting in a -43 net approval rating among the group.
