TRUMP BOASTS HIS APPROVAL RATING IS ‘ABOVE OBAMA’ BASED ON POLL THAT CONSISTENTLY FAVORS HIM
President Donald Trump took the opportunity during a tax reform roundtable in Cleveland, Ohio, on Saturday to say he was “above Obama,” citing his approval rating from a conservative-leaning poll.
“We just had a poll, 51 or 52, which came out, you know, very nicely,” Trump said, referring to a Rasmussen Reports poll on Friday that showed 51 percent of likely U.S. voters approve of his job performance while 49 percent disapprove.
“Then I turn on like, you know, one of the networks and I see, ‘Donald Trump, who’s not very popular…’ I’m saying, ‘What are you talking about?’” Trump continued. “In fact, you saw the poll came out that I’m above Obama.”
