According to polls conducted by the broadcaster, the proportion of women who approve of the job Trump is doing as president has declined from net -16 in June to net -21 in July. June's -16 approval rating was a slight increase from April, when Trump's approval rating was net -18 so July's figures show his approval rating has reversed course.

The president gets low marks for his handling of the scandal. But polls suggest other issues are driving the popularity dip.
