Donald Trump has attacked “fake polls” and “fake news” as surveys show he he enters the holiday season with the lowest approval rating in modern presidential history.
“The Fake News refuses to talk about how Big and how Strong our BASE is,” he wrote on Twitter, displaying his trademark affection for the use of capital letters.
“They show Fake Polls just like they report Fake News. Despite only negative reporting, we are doing well - nobody is going to beat us. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.”

Mr Trump approaches the end of 2017 amid a flurry of polls that show him with a dismal approval rating. A poll released last week by CNN found that it had tumbled to just 35 per cent, from the 45 per cent he enjoyed in March shortly after taking office.
A a nonpartisan poll released by the NBC/Wall Street Journal found the president’s approval rating stood at 40 per cent. Peter Hart, a Democrat who helped conduct, said his final survey of 2017 found Mr Trump had “lost the support and respect of a majority of Americans in his first year as president”.
Meanwhile, a tracker from the political data site FiveThirtyEight put his rating at 37.1 per cent. It said that dating the way back to President Harry Truman in 1945, at Day 337 of their first term every president had an approval rating at least ten percentage points better than where Mr Trump stands now at the same point.
