“[Trump’s] approval ratings are skyrocketing,” Johnson said excitedly.

“CNN had a story a day or two ago — he was at a 90 percent approval rating! There’s never been a president that high,” he declared.

However, according to a CNN article published on July 17, a new poll conducted by the network showed that only 42 percent of Americans approve of the president, with just 37 percent believing he’s prioritized the right issues.

Elsewhere, a Reuters/Ipsos poll reported that 41 percent of Americans surveyed gave Trump a positive job approval rating.

A third survey by The Economist and YouGov revealed that 55 percent of respondents disapproved of Trump’s performance.
The most favorable recent result came from Rasmussen Reports, which found that 50 percent of Americans supported the former president as of July 18.
According to MSNBC, the House Speaker may have only been referring to Republican approval ratings. CNN’s poll indicated that 88 percent of Republicans approve of Trump — a figure Johnson seemingly rounded up.

While Trump’s allies often suggest he is among the most popular presidents in U.S. history, AZ Central notes otherwise.
