Why else would you pick the ONE outlier poll as your example?
The average approval rating is 43.3%. Still not too good, so why try to deceive people? Why not just go with the truth? I even mentioned in my post that he has the lowest overall approval rating, because trying to “win a game” here is kind of childish.

Dishonest? You're the one who was bragging about 88% of Republican Trump support, all I did was put it in perspective. And the 538 Average is 41.3% with a 53% disapproval rate not exactly something to brag about. and RCP has him at 42.9 today with a 52.9% disapproval. And Quinnipiac is hardly an "outlier" poll it's consistently considered to be one of the best polling firms in the US, a Marist poll conducted during the same period gave him 39% approval.

Scoring points, well someone here is but I don't think it's me.

Only, I already put in in proper perspective when I said he had the worst overall approval rating of any recent president. In fact, I said it twice. But I didnt take the worst possible poll, as you did. I used the average at the time. Anyone that clicks on the RCP link I posted can see that the vast majority of the polls put him somewhere in the 40s. Many in the mid 40’s. And just to be clear, again, that is still pretty low. So I’m not sure what kind of “points” you think I am trying to score? If I was trying to score points, I would have done as you did, and only quoted the Reuters poll that put him at 47%.

Nope. Not true. He is not despised by everyone else. He is despised by radical liberals who are stricken with TDS. Those who are Democrats and Independents do not want to be grouped with these radicals, after seeing the hatred and attacks since day one of his candidacy, like Trump and will vote for him.
