Trump Says His Approval Rating Is Same As Obama’s At This Point In Office

President Trump says his approval rating, which has been reported as especially low by a number of pollsters, is actually the same as Barack Obama’s at this point in office.

President Trump says his approval rating, which has been reported as especially low by a number of pollsters, is actually the same as Barack Obama's at this point in office.
Trump tweeted on Friday morning, "While the Fake News loves to talk about my so-called low approval rating, @foxandfriends just showed that my rating on Dec. 28, 2017, was approximately the same as President Obama on Dec. 28, 2009, which was 47%...and this despite massive negative Trump coverage & Russia hoax!" 
The statement is not false, but it is apparently based on only one poll, notes Newsweek.
Rasmussen Reports, which generally shows higher numbers for Trump, lists the president's latest approval percentage at 46.
Other polls like a recent one from Monmouth University show lower numbers.
Monmouth poll approval stands at just 32%, well below the 39% to 43% percent he's maintained throughout his time in the office.
