2. Not even the right wing shills have ever been able to produce a poll showing Trump at 65%

The Highest Approval Rating Trump has gotten in any poll was 57% on January 24, from Rasmussen (which tells you it was a garbage poll - Rasmussen adds at least 10% to Republican's real polling numbers).

Insider Advantage had him at 56% on January 20. They are as bad a pollster as Rasmussen.

Those have been the only 2 polls all year which had him within even 10 points of 65%, and both were at the very start of his term, and both have dropped off since then.

I really do think, his sycophants tell him he's polling at 65% and he believes them. They've probably learned that he'll get furious if they tell him a poll has him lower than 65%, so they have settled on that as the floor that they tell him.

Meanwhile, in reality, the most recent published poll (in the real world) was from October 3 from YouGov and had him at 42% approve, 58% disapprove. That's about his ceiling from legitimate pollsters at this point. Others have him lower.
