If you’re going to report a trend, use the same data source for both points. The rasmussen number you quote [was at 56%](http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/trump_administration/trump_approval_index_history) last week, so a move to 59% is a minor jump/wiggle. ---

Haven’t checked Breitbart News, but I’ll bet they put the approval at 104% or so.
