Donald Trump, in one of his bizarre middle-of-the-night Truth Social tirades, claims a "59% APPROVAL RATING FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP, MASSIVE LEAD OVER THE DEMOCRATS" (his capitalization, in case you weren't sure).
Now, it's not clear where he found that particular figure, and it seems likely he just made it up to cheer himself up a bit. RealClear Polling tracks nearly 20 opinion polls, and their latest summary shows an average approval of 44% with 52% unfavourable. The individual favourability polls range from 40% to 51%, none of them coming anywhere close to 59%.
Moreover, graphs of Trump's favourable/unfavourable polling over time show steadily increasing unfavourable ratings (and an even more marked decline in favourable ratings) over the last 6+ months.
There has never been a president in history so consumed by his ratings. It must be galling to see it falling.
