President Donald Trump dismissed polls showing his approval rating falling ahead of November’s midterm elections, insisting Americans should trust his claim that his support is closer to 60 percent.
In an interview with The Washington Examiner’s Byron York, published Saturday, Trump called the polling figures “fake” when asked about a RealClearPolitics average showing 38.8 percent of Americans approved of his job performance, while 60.4 percent disapproved.
“It’s fake,” Trump said.
When York pressed him on what he believed his actual approval rating was, Trump rejected the figures and insisted his support was much higher.
“The job approval, they said it’s 37, 38?” Trump asked. “I’m not at 38.”
