Chris Hayes showed a poll that showed

that 55% of Republicans approved of the kids being taken and 35 disapproved.

Since trump's approval is around 44% that means 55% of 44% would be the actual percentage.

That is around 25 percent approval of this policy at most. The 55% figure is deceiving.

24.2% to be precise.

I used to hate math and numbers and now in my old age I finally got it. I was taught the formula and now I like that skill!

Sorry I didn't notice who's poll, but the overall approval was 27%. So by that poll you are pretty close.
