33. It is bad reporting. With 37% approve and 63% disapprove, that means zero undecided

That is impossible in any properly conducted poll.

SurveyMonkey sounds like this was an automated poll that either didn't offer "I don't know" as an option or else discarded all the undecideds. Either way, that makes it mostly junk.

You can probably take 3-5% each of the numbers to allow for undecideds. That would put support at 32%, which is what polls are saying. I agree that's too high, but the bell shaped curve has outliers on both sides.
