During the event, the president broke some remarkable news: His approval rating among Republicans had just hit a record high. “I have a 90 percent-- 94 percent approval rating as of this morning in the Republican Party," Trump said. When Trump claimed last July that his approval numbers had beaten both Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan, Politifact assessed the claim. Even using Trump’s 94 percent figure, the claim is obviously false. There was a poll a few days ago commissioned by The Hill that touted that Trump’s approval rating was at a two-year high.
