Fox & Friends deletes tweet about Trumps approval soaring to 41 percent after getting ruthlessly mocked"Fox & Friends on Tuesday tried to spin more bad poll numbers from President Donald Trump by describing his approval rating as soaring despite the fact that it was historically low for a first-term president heading into a midterm election.
The Fox & Friends Twitter account posted an analysis of CNNs latest poll that showed Trumps approval at 41 percent, which is a historically bad number for a first-term president at this point in his term.
However, because the 41 percent approval was up five points from the even-worse September number of just 36 percent, Fox & Friends described the presidents approval as soaring.
The tweet was mercilessly mocked by other Twitter users, including one who replied by saying, Soaring like a chicken in flight. After being up for an hour, the tweet was quietly deleted.
In addition to Trumps historically low approval ratings, the president also has the highest disapproval rating for any president at this point in his first term. In fact, according to FiveThirtyEights historical analysis of presidential polling, Trump is the only president in the history of modern polling to have a disapproval rating above 50 percent at this point in his first term.
