Trump Again Lies About Polling Better Than Lincoln

The Hill reports:



President Trump on Sunday repeated false claims that his poll numbers among Republican are higher than former President Lincoln. In an early morning tweet, Trump tweeted that he has the “highest Poll Numbers in the history of the Republican Party.” It is unclear what poll Trump was citing, but the tweet echoed similar comments he made earlier this month.

A Gallup poll released earlier in July found that 90 percent of Republicans approved of Trump in June, which would make him one of the most popular modern presidents with his own party at this point in his first term. Presidential polling only stretches back to the Truman administration, however.
