Trump is lying about his approval rating again. He doesn't have a 52% approval rating even with his favourite pollster, Rasmussen - he's at 46% in their latest daily tracker. Overall, he's at 41.9% (FiveThirtyEight) or 43.6% (RealClearPolitics).

Perhaps Trump strategically misread the latest NBC/WSJ poll, which had him at 52% DISapproval.

Trump has never hit a 52% overall approval rating. In Republican-leaning Rasmussen, his fave pollster, the last time he was at 52% was March 6, 2017, 17 months ago.

Over 90% approval rating for your all time favorite (I hope) President within the Republican Party and 52% overall. This despite all of the made up stories by the Fake News Media trying endlessly to make me look as bad and evil as possible. Look at the real villains please!

He reads and hears words that are not written or said through some sort of warped brain that reaches clarity around a self-confirmation that he is the singly Best Person Ever.

The media should just report "Donald Trump said random words today" and leave it at that.
