Ninety-nine percent is not an approval rating; it is the kind of tally announced by governments that have stopped bothering with real elections, and even they usually have the modesty to round down. No pollster is named, perhaps because the survey seems to have had one respondent, the same man who reposted his own post: a feedback loop of one, applauding itself in an empty room. ‘Highest ever’ would mean outscoring every president since polling was invented, which is a bold thing to claim without a single source attached. As for the Fake News never learning, the lesson on offer seems to be that a statistic is whatever you feel like typing.
