First of all, 40% has been his avg approval since Feb. So you suddenly coming now and claiming that 40% is somehow bad, is just laughable. Second, his average approval rating is not really news, come back when he either dips below 20-30 or above 50-60.
1. 40% Approval IS BAD, and even at Gallup he had a 2-3% point drop since August (Same date CNN,ABC,QP are comparing). It's not somehow bad. That's a shitty approval number. You're full of it and horrific spin.
2. Nothing I wrote is false. Trump's approval is in the shitter according to multiple polls this week. It had a drop in a few of them as well,

WASHINGTON – Two new polls show President Donald Trump's job approval rating has fallen below 40 percent – including one that shows a majority believe he is unfit for the office – as the beleaguered president defends against reports of a White House in chaos, even as the American economy surges.
A CNN poll released Monday found Trump's approval had dropped to 36 percent, down from 42 percent in August. And the same day, a poll from Quinnipiac University found Trump's approval at 38 percent, down from 41 percent the month before.
The Quinnipiac poll also found that 55 percent of Americans believe Trump is not fit to serve as president, while 41 percent said he is capable. Sixty-five percent said the president is not level-headed and 42 percent said he is not mentally stable.
The Quinnipiac poll was conducted from Sept. 6 to 9, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percent.
The CNN poll, which was also conducted from Sept. 6 to Sept. 9 with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 percent, found only 32 percent of respondents who believe Trump is "honest and trustworthy." He got his highest marks for his handling of the economy at 49 percent, while 35-36 percent gave a thumbs up on his handling of immigration, foreign affairs and foreign trade.
The weekly approval poll from Gallup found Trump's approval slightly higher at 40 percent, while Rasmussen Reports, which consistently reports higher approval ratings for the president than other polling outfits, put him at 47 percent.
More: ABC/Washington Post poll: Trump's disapproval rating hits new high
Last week, an ABC News-Washington Post poll found Trump's approval rating was 36 percent, matching his previous low in their polling. It put his disapproval number at 60 percent, a new high.
The Real Clear Politics average put his approval at 41 percent, its lowest point since March when Trump began to ramp up sanctions on imports into the U.S.
With an expanding economy and low unemployment, the president has expressed frustration at the amount of negative news coverage swirling around his administration (including the ubiquitous attacks on "fake news").
If you take issues with the methodology of RRS, ABC/WAPO and Quinnipiac please post the specifics on what went wrong.
3. You have a history of meltdowns and spin in Trump approval threads,

"Fake Polls"
"Clickbait" (in response to Gallup)
"But all polls are Biased"
You're a disaster.
