Feedly - President Donald Trump has again overstated levels of public support for his administration, claiming that a sizable majority of the country approves of his presidency despite no recent surveys showing him enjoying nearly the same level of support from the American electorate.
In a late-night post to Truth Social on Sunday, the president wrote: "59 percent Approval Rating. Prices coming down along with the lowering of oil and gas. Thank you! President DJT."
Trump did not specify the type of "approval rating" he was referring to or the specific poll that had shown him at 59 percent, though none of those tracked by RealClearPolling or The New York Times show him with over 50 percent approval in recent weeks or months.
In fact, the latest polling averages from RealClearPolitics have Trump 15.5 points underwater-with 41 percent approving and 56.5 percent disapproving-while the most recent Times/Siena poll revealed that only 37 percent of the country are happy with his handling of the presidency.
