If you want more balanced numbers, check out G. Elliot Morris’ site, Fifty Plus One

https://fiftyplusone.news/polls/approval/president

RCP includes many polls in their average that Morris rejects as biased and unreliable.

RCP’s average Trump approval: 41.3%

Fifty Plus One’s average Trump approval: 37.3%

Note: Morris is the guy who took over 538 after ABC fired corrupt failure Nate Silver for allowing the averages and projection model to be openly manipulated by the same group of biased pollsters that RCP includes in their averages.
