Donald Trump decided to tweet out that he has an approval rating of 96 percent among Republicans as he left the White House on Friday to spend the weekend at his Bedminster resort in New Jersey.
96% Approval Rating in the Republican Party. Thank you!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 24, 2020
Trump did not offer a source to his tweet and was quickly slammed by Twitter users, some pointing out that he tends to use “96%” often without sourcing it.
Does anyone else find it odd that these unattributed 'polling numbers' never change, month, after month, after month

That's because Republicans are leaving at unprecedented rates and turning into independents. All you have left is your base, and they suck https://t.co/pWNxqwM7XX
