correction
This screenshot is wrong.
Trump's approval on the economy is 58% but his overall approval is just 43% in this poll, NOT 55%.
His favorable rating is just 40%.
38% say he deserves reelection.
57% say it's time to give someone else a chance to be president. https://t.co/2PwzLfdcQM— Steven Dennis (@StevenTDennis) April 11, 2019
