US President Donald Trump has misquoted poll figures while boasting about his approval ratings.
The President tweeted about his supposed "90% approval rating for your all time favourite (I hope) president within the Republican Party and 52% overall".
In a recent NBC/WSJ poll, taken from August 22-25, Mr Trump's approval rating among Republicans is 90 percent, as the President indicated in his tweet. This is coupled with a 10 percent approval rating among Democrats.
But Mr Trump's overall approval rating in the poll was just 44 percent. It appears he was referring in his tweet to his disapproval rate which is 52 percent in that particular poll.

The President could have been referring to a different Rasmussen poll for that same August period, but again the results don't match up to Mr Trump's tweet.
In the poll, the President's approval rating sits at 46 percent and his disapproval rating increases from 52 to 54 percent, so he may have mixed up his approval and disapproval ratings again.
In Mr Trump's defence, his approval rating doesn't appear to have changed despite news concerning his former associates Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen. The former was found guilty of eight counts of tax evasion and bank fraud.
Mr Cohen pleaded guilty to a separate eight counts of similar charges and it appears he committed crimes under the direction of Mr Trump.
