Comment;

Without the Dem/Rep/Indie split it is impossible to judge these results with confidence. One can surmise there is a Dem respondent bias with confidence though.

Given that Trump's 45% is 1% below his 2016 actual with Blacks at exactly his 2016 support and a considerable rise in Hispanic support (41% compared to 29% 2016 actual) which number has been reflected on other polling this can be viewed as a positive result.

The 53% approval of handling of the economy is remarkable under the present circumstances and bodes well for November when a recovery should be under way.  Trump approval with women is his sore point at present, however in 2016 it was also under water but on election day the gap tightened strongly. 

Trump's approval with the GOP base is rock solid and up 7 points since March-if anything the media antagonism and bias is making his base support stronger even during an economic, medical and social crisis.
