Donald Trump must have been thrilled as he tweeted a screen-shot from Lou Dobbs‘ Fox Business show reporting his approval number is at 55% from the Georgetown Institute of Politics and Public Service.
Only problem is: it’s wrong.
The director of the poll followed up Trump’s tweet with one of his own announcing the mistake just 40 minutes later.
Trump’s approval rating from the poll is actually 43% – which is about where he’s topped out for two years.
The 55% number is his disapproval rating.

I’m the Director of @GUPolitics & this graphic is incorrect.The Battleground Poll shows 58% approval on the economy.
But it shows only 43% overall approval, & 52% disapproval.
The 55% number is the President’s unfavorable rating. (Only 40% favorable.)https://t.co/a00b6ljiJl https://t.co/nntXuHaUKj

That same poll showed 49% say Trump’s style and approach are insulting and wrong; only 27% approved of his “style” and “approach.”
Only 38% said Trump deserves re-election.
