DAY 88: Trump retweets inflated approval poll... and he fails

This morning Donald Trump retweeted a tweet from the right-wing blog Drudge Report about a Rasmunssen Reports poll showing Donald Trump had an alleged 50% approval rating. Which also means he has a 50% DISapproval rating. Here's the tweet Trump retweeted:

TRUMP APPROVAL HITS 50% https://t.co/TruX3WzR3U

But apparently either nobody believed Trump or nobody cared, because about 9 hours later he tweeted this:

TRUMP APPROVAL HITS 50%https://t.co/vjZkGTyQb9

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 17, 2017

In reality, according to Gallup, which has been tracking Trump's approval every day, Trump's approval rating is at 41% with a disapproval rating of 53% in the last measurement as of April 15, 2017. And that's after an increase of 2 points in his approval.

So Trump tried to retweet an inflated approval poll and he failed.

PS: For the record, Donald Trump has not gotten anywhere near 50% approval in Gallup's poll since Trump took office. His highest point was on January 24, when he got 46% approval. After that it was all downill with one 45% spike for one day only on March 11. And his disapproval has gotten to 59% on March 28.
