Trump touts Rasmussen poll showing 49 percent approval
BY MAX GREENWOOD - 02/03/18 10:00 AM EST
President Trump boasted about his latest approval rating in a conservative-leaning poll on Saturday, pointing to the number as evidence that his political support is expanding beyond what it was in the 2016 election.
"Rasmussen just announced that my approval rating jumped to 49%, a far better number than I had in winning the Election, and higher than certain 'sacred cows,' " Trump tweeted, without clarifying who he meant by "sacred cows." He has previously compared his approval ratings to former President Obama's in his first year in office.
"Other Trump polls are way up also. So why does the media refuse to write this? Oh well, someday!" he continued

The conservative-leaning Rasmussen poll routinely pegs Trump's approval higher than other daily tracking polls. According to Gallup's latest data, from Jan. 28, Trump's approval sat significantly lower, at 38 percent.
