Polls are pretty much only meaningful in perspective -- how they compare to other polls, or how them compare to their own polling from week to week.
Therefore, it's important to put into perspective this is the new poll from Rasmussen Polling. Rasmussen is the Republican polling service that is an outlier, regularly skewing pro-Trump. When you read about Trump pointing to how well he's doing in polls, it's almost always Rasmussen he's referencing. It’s the one poll that once had him over 50%, at 51% So, this then is his best, favorite poll -- and it now gives him just 43% approval. Down five points. With a 55% disapproval. But also, “Strongly Approve” is 31% and “Strongly Disapprove” is 47%. That makes his “Approval Index” a minus-16. For perspective, only nineteen days ago on May 6, Trump's “Approval Index” for Rasmussen was only minus-4. A drop of 12 points in less than three weeks. Again, this is Trump's best, favorite poll -- now giving him just 43% approval. And 55% disapproval. And with 99,448 Americans dead and 43 million having filed for unemployment. And millions of Americans across the country believing Trump that it's safe to "open" America as they flock out together form Memorial Day Weekend, ensuring that the numbers will soar.
