Republicans are clinging to headlines this Wednesday morning claiming Hillary Clintons unpopular rating is on par with Donald Trumps, according to a new ABC poll. But the entire poll actually says something different.

It is also a VERY clear warning to other "Journalists" not to go against the MediaMatters pre-approved Memes.
The Story from ABC:
ABC NEWS Poll: Clinton Unpopularity at New High, on Par With Trump

Well of course everybody loves a huggable granny right? Just look at the packed auditoriums she’s filling...........oh, never mind.
So I guess these people would be begging for people to be kind and fair to Donald if his Trump Foundation doled out favours during his tenure as Secretary of State or if he committed a few indiscretions with his email server, eh?
MSM
Getting worried and want Biden or Warren or Kerry ?
The story is true. If you count the entire world, including Antarctica, Hillary is viewed far more favorably than Trump.
Why should an election only look at voters? Crazy talk...
While Hillary buses them in and uses her staff and high school kids as audiences for her tiny rallies. Hillary has a lucky day when she gets 150 genuine rally goers. Notice, she stopped doing rallies. Zzzzzz...
They’re bogus because she’s “more” unpopular than Trump.
The unpopular delta story has been garbage from day one... we are talking about two people who’s ratings are a few points apart... we aren’t talking about a huge gap and never were its been a garbage argument from day one.
She shouldn’t have this problem with all the media protecting her.
Cap'n, she's goin' down!
From the article :
“The press is trying to build a horse race out of nothing, and in order accomplish this journalistic sleight of hand they constructing a house built out of straw that is easily blown down by data and facts.”
Irony re-defined?
The problem is that we are not voting for the least congenial candidate! Trump needs to radically change his approach.
This is why so many GOPers wee so upset last year when Donald kept saying offensive sophomoric thing about other candidates and news people. Trump’s personality impression is now set in stone with most voters and is nearly impossible to change it now.
All it did was give him negative headlines when what he needed were headlines that were at least sounding mature and reasonable. His basic premises could have stayed the same. He needs a dose of Reaganomic charm school.
Many Trump voters, like myself, are voting against Hillary and her leftist, hateful, policies. I would much prefer to vote with some enthusiasm for a candidate, but this year I am not able to at this time - I just will vote for the anti-Hillary candidate.
Sorry to have to say this.
Why Clinton is unpopular? Just look at her resume and probable photograph appearing in a Websters dictionary next to the word “corruption”. Her numbers can only get worse. At this point, no difference can be made/engineered :-).
Why Trump is “unpopular”? Nobody knows Trump the politician. Nobody. Relatively few people in the political junkie class like what he says and appreciate the dialogue. Leftist media kingpins are taking a few sentences here and there and making him seem like he’s “crazy”. Many voters haven’t formed a genuine opinion yet since they’ve not paid attention to anything dealing with the POTUS election and are simply reacting to media nonsense. Bottom line, his numbers will only go up.
So, we have the wicked hag that represents everything that is wrong with Washington, DC in the left corner. She is a 100% known, static quantity. A miserable constant if you will. Nothing, and I mean nothing can improve her image.
In the right corner, we have a person that is somewhat known, but not well known in politics. Almost anything that happens from now until November will be news ... good or bad. He is a dynamic variable as opposed to a tired, old constant. If he gets to a “40%” approval rating by the time election day rolls around, he wins in a landslide.
Expect the media to start to fall to pieces as September unfolds and the POTUS campaign kicks into 3rd gear (4th is October, 5th is the week leading up to the election). I wouldn’t be surprised if we start to see the first D+20 polls just to give the media the “election is too close to call” narrative so that they can sell ads.
Money quote: “This is more an indictment of the press failure to explain things and put things in context than it is Hillary Clinton...”
It’s all the fault of the MEDIA for not carrying Hillary’s water good enough!!!
Yep, dig into the poll methodology a bit and it’s clear they tried hard to tilt it in favor of Hillary:
http://www.langerresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/Methodological-details_SSRS-Omnibus.pdf
“Within each landline household, interviewers ask to speak with the youngest adult male or female at home; if no person of that gender is at home, interviewers ask to speak with the youngest adult of the other gender.”
Young people skew to the left, so right off the bat they are tilting the poll in favor of Hillary with this method. That is before they subject the results to a bunch of “adjustments” and “fitting” methods that seem to me to be little more than forcing the results to fit whatever they want them to be.
Your positive approach to politics is quaint—went out of style after JFK got assassinated by the CIA and half the government and the media covered it up.
Trump’s pitch to the minority community fits these more realistic times: “You can’t do any worse.”
Speaking of ole Illary, saw her giving a speech today and, well, she didn’t look well! Dirty hair, greyish looking skin, down in the mouth! About as much energy as a dead battery! She’s not well!
I would tend to agree with campaign turnout, but Obama couldn’t hardly fill half a gymnasium by the 2012 election and he still beat Romney by a significant amount.
Rally attendance may not mean anything.
Staunch Dems are going to vote for the Democrat nominee.
Clinton drew nearly 17 million primary votes, while Sanders got just over 13 million.
This article is written by the MSM .... Hillary is actually the most widely hated person to ever seek the Presidency......were it not for the RINO, #NeverTrump GOPe sponsored talk show hosts, Donald Trump, the next Ronald Reagan would be defeating the EVIL WITCH handily......(the enemy within is more deadly than the one without)
