The poll shared by Trump claimed his benchmark approval rating was considerably higher than almost every other poll. Trump’s approval rating was pegged at 51 percent in the poll created by the firm Zogby. Real Clear Politics compiled an average of Trump’s approval ratings working it out to be 43.1 percent, with his disproval ratings at 54.4 percent.
Trump shared a picture of the Zogby poll on Twitter in response to the results.
He Tweeted: “THANK YOU! #MAGA”
The poll is known to consistently skew results in favour of Trump and the Republicans.
FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver condemned Zogby for its online polls.
He published an article about the firm on his website in 2009 claiming it was “the worst pollster in the world”.
In the article he claims Zogby “violate the most basic precept of survey research which is that of the random sample”.
He said: “As you might infer, they obtain absolutely terrible results.
“These Internet polls, simply put, are not scientific and should not be published by any legitimate news organisation.”

“With all that this Administration has accomplished, think what my Poll Numbers would be if we had an honest Media, which we do not!”
