Trump dismisses 31% approval polling amid Iran strikes and rising gas prices
Original: He calls 31% approval polling fake. Iran strikes in February, the pump climbing, 37% of his own party against his econom
Critics are seizing on Donald Trump's rejection of polls showing his approval at 31%, pointing to a string of troubles as evidence the numbers are real. They cite US strikes on Iran in February, climbing gasoline prices, and a poll finding 37% of Republicans unhappy with his economic handling, mocking his claim that the figures are fabricated.
Why now: The gap between Trump's dismissals of bad polling and tangible problems like Iran strikes, gas prices and intra-party dissent is fueling political criticism.
