President Trump took to Twitter on Sunday to denounce a new poll that shows his approval rating at a record low among presidents six months into office.
The ABC/Washington Post Poll, even though almost 40% is not bad at this time, was just about the most inaccurate poll around election time!

“The ABC/Washington Post Poll, even though almost 40% is not bad at this time, was just about the most inaccurate poll around election time!” Mr. Trump tweeted.
In its last poll before the race, The Washington Post/ABC News poll had him losing the popular vote to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, 47 to 43 percent. She ended up winning the vote 48 percent to 46 percent, but lost to Mr. Trump in the Electoral College.
The poll on Sunday pinned Mr. Trump’s approval rating at 36 percent, while 58 percent disapprove of the president’s.
