President Trump's job approval stands at 45 percent, while 51 percent of voters disapprove, according to Fox News Poll. And it is almost exactly where it was last month, 46-51 percent, before Special Counsel Robert Mueller completed his Russia probe March 22.
That makes sense given two-thirds of voters (65 percent) say Mueller's investigation has not changed how they feel about Trump. One in ten (10 percent) say they feel better about the president, while about two in ten (17 percent) feel worse.
