tRrump claims his 'real' approval rating is 64 percent (Decision Desk average says 44.1) [View all]

Trump claims his ‘real’ approval rating is 64 percent (The Hill)

President Trump claimed Tuesday that his “real” approval rating is at 64 percent, despite polls showing it is below 50 percent.

“The polls are rigged even more than the writers,” Trump said in a late-night Truth Social post. “The real number is 64%, and why not, our Country is ‘hotter’ than ever before.”

He added, “Isn’t it nice to have a STRONG BORDER, No Inflation, a powerful Military, and great Economy??? Happy New Year!”

Decision Desk HQ’s (DDHQ) polling average shows the president’s approval rating sitting at 44.1 percent, almost 20 points below his claim.
