Just the other day, the MAGAs at Lucianne.com were high-fiving each other over Trump’s tremendous approval rating. I have no idea what poll or polls they had in mind. Were there any such, or have the Trumpkins gotten to the point where they hallucinate the results they want??

An InsiderAdvantage poll from last week had Trump at +4.
