6. There Is, However, Some Value In These Numbers

As his numbers have hovered in the high 30s (worse in other polls), many of these had approve/disapprove sums of 92-94%, meaning 6 to 8% had no opinion.
This poll shows a sum of 99%, so the no opinion folks are evaporating.
The felon's behavior is becoming increasingly polarizing such that even those not normally laying attention are doing so.
I'm suspicious of the 39%, like you. It seems a bit high given other contemporary polls.
But, as I believe the floor is s hard 30%, having 6 out of every other 7 people disapproving is appropriately bad news for the fascist mob.
