“After a spate of bad polls earlier this summer, President Trump simply declared that they were not true. ‘MY REAL POLL NUMBERS ARE THE HIGHEST THEY HAVE EVER BEEN,’ he wrote on social media, using capital letters as if they would shout away any contrary data,” the New York Times reports.
“In fact, his real poll numbers are at or near the lowest they have ever been in some nonpartisan surveys…”
“The latest surveys indicate that Mr. Trump is now all but the most unpopular second-term president at this stage of their tenure in the history of polling going back to the 1940s. The only exception is not one that would give Mr. Trump much solace: Richard M. Nixon had even less public support at this stage in his second term but at that point he was just days away from resigning over the Watergate scandal.”
Rolling Stone: Trump is really, really unpopular, new polling shows.
