Yep, that is a 36 percent approval rating, and a 58 percent disapproval rating. Yes, that is the highest disapproval rating of ANY standing President at the six-month point for the last 70 years, besting the previous record-holder Clinton, who had a 51 percent disapproval rating, but a 45 percent approval rating. Trump's approval scores have continued to drop precipitously, as it was up at 42 percent back in April. According to The Washington Post, 48 percent of ALL Americans say they "disapprove strongly" of Trumps's performance in office, a level that has only ever been matched by George W. Bush during his second term. Trump obviously got word of the results, and took to his favourite form of social media to vent his ... well, they're not exactly frustrations, but ... we're not exactly sure what we should be calling them...New @ABC News/WaPo poll: Pres. Trump receives lowest six-month approval rating of any president dating back 70 years https://t.co/rCV9iTdF9k pic.twitter.com/udAHnJ9X6q

So within the space of 140 characters, he claims the poll-takers are notoriously inaccurate, while inaccurately claiming a score of "almost 40 percent", but then saying that score isn't actually all that bad for the six month mark, despite all of the evidence we just listed out proving the opposite. A lot of folk clapped back with proof that ABC and Washington Post proved to be the most accurate, but this host of an American political radio show condensed his opinion on the entire issue down quite succinctly, when it was revealed that 36 percent of the poll-takers were Democrats, and 23 percent were Republicans.The ABC/Washington Post Poll, even though almost 40% is not bad at this time, was just about the most inaccurate poll around election time!
