Morning Consult also found that Trump pulled his lowest approval rating on the handling of the pandemic yet with Republicans:

Trump thought that he could use the protests as a diversion away from his failed pandemic response, but the two crises have converged and created a political superstorm for Trump. The President is winning people over with his response to protests, and the economy and public health crisis are raging on.
If Trump loses any Republicans, it will make it nearly impossible for him to win reelection. Trump is turning back to the politics of racial division because he sees his base softening.
The tide is growing stronger against him, and the more Trump rages, the lower he sinks.
