The claim that Trump has "the best poll numbers I've ever had" does not align with these recent data points showing a downward trend in overall approval.
Approval ratings are complex and vary by pollster, timing, and methodology; while Trump may have had higher peaks in the past or among specific groups, the overall current polling does not support the claim as an absolute truth.
Therefore, the statement is misleading because it overgeneralizes and ignores recent declines and mixed polling results.
