I have no idea which poll he is referring to, but as we know, his numbers are going down. Maybe he has his phone upside down? (Although putting “political career” in scare quotes may be doing a lot of work here…).

Some people are saying that it was a Tass-Pravda Poll, (MOE +/- 33%)
He’s probably confused about Real Clear Politics, who are cherry-picking polls to show him ahead of Bush and Obama at this point in their respective second terms (but still underwater).
How many ‘shrooms Miller and Vance are feeding him?
It was an “office” poll.
Gaslighting.
It’s meant for the supporters who don’t read other news.
There seems to be quite a few of them.
He’s lying about Stopping WARS, Foreign Relations, and Stopping Crime, too. It’s likely “great work” on The Border is dubiously defined as well.
In for a penny – in for a pound.
