The latest I&I/TIPP poll has Trump's approval at 43%. The way that they report on their own poll is hilarious.

In their own poll, Trump is at just 43% approval and only 41% say he's a strong leader.

Meanwhile the caption under the photo at the link says "The 79-year-old President, who survived an assassination attempt and relentless prosecutions, continues to fight for America’s future, inspiring millions."

(not that it wasn't obvious from what you pointed out)

Here's one title:

"One Way To Reverse Feminism’s War On Boys"

Not linking to it, one can go to the link in the OP and scroll to the bottom to find it. Along with similar sewage.

Yikes.

Most reliable polls have his approval at 37-38%

Give him another few months and I think he will get there.

Pew Research also has him below 40%, but those are the only two.
This is a case of a reputable pollster doing polls for a far-right publication.

Still, there's another element of polls on Trump's leadership that often goes unexplored: the impact of big corporate media on voters' perceptions.

In a survey of nearly 900 news stories earlier this year, the Media Research Center found that 92% of Trump coverage by ABC, NBC and CBS was negative from the time he took office to April 9. No matter Trump's triumphs, viewers got a continuing drumbeat of critical commentary, something sure to affect many viewers and, thus, Trump polls.

Yet, despite strong antipathy from political foes and the media, Trump's leadership ratings remain solid. Why? After years of things getting steadily worse – inflation, war between Ukraine and Russia, a White House bereft of executive leadership, to name just a few – Americans appear hungry for a strong president who will take action on the burning issues of the day.

Whether his angry political opponents admit it or not, to many Americans Donald Trump is that person.

Note: the Media Research Center is a far right sham organization that pretends to be a "media watchdog" group.

The amazing thing is that such a blatantly biased pollster still showed Trump' favorability underwater on every single policy area.

18% of liberals have a favorable opinion of him? Bullshit.
15% of democrats have a favorable opinion of him? Bullshit.
33% of moderates have a favorable opinion of him? Bullshit.
It's also telling that the only comment on there is spam for fake jobs.
