Trump complains about approval rating showing hes least popular president ever

In the midst of a more than two-week vacation, President Trump posted a tweet:stating: The Trump base is far bigger and amp; stronger than ever before (despite some phony Fake News polling). The president has good reason to be upset at polling firms:Theyre nearly unanimous in assessing that Americans, by and large, think Trump is doing a bad job in the White House.The weighted average from data-centric website FiveThirtyEight pegged Trumps approval rating at just 37 percent on 7 August,.and his disapproval rating at 57.3 percent.
