The survey, conducted by Hill.TV and the HarrisX polling company, also found that 49 percent of voters said they would disapprove if Trump were to pardon Manafort, while 34 percent said they were unsure on the matter.

The poll also showed low approval from Republicans on the matter, with 31 percent saying they would approve of the move, and 26 percent saying they would disapprove.

Only 12 percent of Democrats polled said they would approve of the move, while 75 percent said they would disapprove.

Morning Consult editor Anna Yukhananov told Hill.TV's Joe Concha that whatever move Trump makes on Manafort's case will ultimately have little impact on his base approval.

"We've seen a lot of scandals. [Michael] Cohen's admission that Trump [knew about the payment] to Stormy Daniels and his support barely budged from that," Yukhananov said.

"I don't think that whatever he does with Manafort or Cohen, that his staunchest suppporters are going to change their minds," she continued.

The poll comes after Judge Amy Berman Jackson said she would entertain a motion for Manafort's legal team to move his upcoming second trial out of Washington, D.C.

Manafort's legal team argued that a jury in Washington would not be able to handle the case objectively, citing Trump's low approval in the city.

The former Trump campaign chairman is facing in Washington, such as money laundering, conspiracy, failing to register as a foreign lobbyist, and making false statements and misleading federal agents.

A federal jury in Alexandria, Va. last week found Manafort guilty on eight charges of bank and tax fraud.

Manafort's team also tried to move his first trial away from Alexandria, citing the city's close proximity to Washington.

Trump's language toward Manafort and Mueller has fueled speculation that he may move to pardon his former campaign chairman.

The president intensified his rhetoric against the Mueller probe during Manafort's trial, frequently referring to the federal investigation as a "witch hunt, and claimed Manafort was being treated worse than American mobster Al Capone.

The American Barometer poll was conducted on August 24-25 among 1,001 registered voters. The sampling margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
