Donald Trump claimed during a CNBC interview that he has a 71% approval rating among the total American electorate. However, polling data refutes this claim, showing his approval closer to 46% on average. Right-leaning polling firms also fail to show Trump exceeding 50%. Polls from sources like Gallup indicate even lower numbers, with Trump's approval dropping to 37%, only slightly above his all-time low post-January 6. His numbers among Republicans are notably higher, reaching 94-95%, contrasting sharply with his overall approval ratings.
I have poll numbers where I'm 71%, Trump said on CNBC's Squawk Box. Those are among Republicans, CNBC's Joe Kernen replied. No, no, Trump said. Among Republicans, I'm at 94, 95%. I'm talking about generally.
Even right-leaning polling firms that generally publish numbers favorable to Trump haven't put him over the 50% mark. The latest Trafalgar poll, for instance, puts him right at 50%.
RealClearPolitics, which tracks all polls, puts Trump at 46 percent approval overall in its average with several recent surveys, including one from Reuters, pegging him at 40 percent or lower.
The July 24 Gallup poll put Trump at a dismal 37% just 3 points above all-time low, which he hit in the immediate aftermath of Jan. 6.
