Point taken.
But my original point stands, which is that no one poll is definitive, as shown in the variation in Trump approval ratings from the polls aggregated by Silver Bulletin:
37-47% Raw
39-43% Adjusted
Pew is an outlier.

Not sure anyone's seen this but there's new polling out on Trump's approval & it appears this may be breaking records with just how bad it is.
The breakdown is interesting.
The poll was done by Pew in case you were wondering.

President Donald Trump has been historically unpopular — and his approval ratings are still dropping. Poll after poll shows Americans turning against Trump’s second act, dissatisfied with his handling of the economy and immigration.

The Presidential Approval poll was the crown jewel of Gallup. Now they they took it away, most likely as a cowardly attempt to avoid blowback from Trump when his ratings with them are low, what’s the point of looking at anything Gallup produces?

Trump has seen his approval rating measured by Gallup dipping to less than 37 percent in its last poll taken in December.
Result: Gallup will no longer track presidential approval ratings after more than eight decades doing so.
Another example of how authoritarianism works.
