"When he said, 'I have the highest poll numbers of any Republican for the last 100 years,' that wasn’t just wrong, it was the opposite of reality:

At this point in their terms, every other GOP president since the dawn of modern polling has had more support than him." #Trump

Ten weeks into his second term, the president's average approval rating is below 50% - which is a far cry from the "high 70s" claim the Republican peddled to NBC News. His disapproval rating is also higher than his approval rating, which is a problem pollsters refer to as being "under water."
Recent national surveys from prominent pollsters - Gallup, NBC
News, Reuters, CNN and Quinnipiac University - found Trump's support in the low to mid-40s. An Associated Press report added as this week got underway, "About 4 in 10 U.S. adults approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president, and more than half disapprove."
Putting aside the question of whether that number deserves to be higher or lower, it's a woefully unimpressive level of public backing, given the president's second term only began 10 weeks ago.
