The poll notes, however, that Trump's 44 percent approval rating matches those of former Presidents Reagan and Obama in June of 1982 and 2010, respectively, before the two presidents' parties would both go on to face massive losses during midterm elections.

In addition, Trump's supporters face an intensity gap with his critics. Forty-two percent of voters told pollsters they "strongly disapprove" of Trump's presidency so far, compared to just 26 percent who said they "strongly approve" of the job the president is doing.

President Trump said on Friday that he may pardon the late boxing champion Muhammad Ali.

Speaking to reporters outside the White House as he prepared to leave for the Group of Seven summit in Quebec, Trump said he was thinking about pardoning someone who was "not very popular" when he was convicted.

"He was not very popular then; his memory is very popular now. I'm thinking about Muhammad Ali," Trump said. "I'm thinking about that very seriously."...

...An attorney for Ali, though, said Friday that a pardon from Trump was "unnecessary."

“We appreciate President Trump’s sentiment, but a pardon is unnecessary,” lawyer Ron Tweel said in a statement. “The U.S. Supreme Court overturned the conviction of Muhammad Ali in a unanimous decision in 1971."

"There is no conviction from which a pardon is needed,” he added.

The United Kingdom is pushing back on President Trump's suggestion that Russia rejoin the Group of Seven of the world’s top industrialized economies.

“We should remind ourselves why the G8 became the G7 — it was after Russia illegally annexed Crimea,” a senior government source from the United Kingdom said.

“Since then we have seen malign activity from Russia in a whole variety of ways, including on the streets of Salisbury in the UK. Before any conversations can take place about Russia rejoining, it needs to change its approach,” the source added.
