Fake Approval Rating or Good One?

Some report that Donald Jr posted a fake approval rating for the President.

The Washington Post and the site above report that Don Jr inflated the approval rating 10 points. Instead of 50% its 40%. Yet the Gallup Poll reports 45% making the WP's article a half truth.

I read somewhere that one poll reported a 49% approval rating and that makes the WP report 90% fake.

Newsweek reported on a Rasmussen poll that showed (Aug. 2nd) the rating is 50%. That is what Donald Jr. said it was, and that makes the WP article 100% false.

Even so; here is a line graph (an economical bar chart) that shows the approval rating for the President from some subjective opinion poll that I made with an online chart maker..
