The first two years of Donald Trump's presidency haven't exactly been filled with stellar ratings from the public.
Trump's approval rating in Gallup has never -- not one time -- been above 50% since he was sworn into office. His overall job approval number in the Real Clear Politics' average is below 44%.

"Americans' ratings of his handling of the economy and unemployment outpace 12 other issues tested in the latest Gallup poll, and at 56%, his rating on the economy is the highest of his presidency....

Those who know how to manipulate numbers have been screwing over those who do not, since... forever.
Numbers don’t lie, people who control them do, however.
