Those were voters. These are Americans.

"Actually, the polls had Hillary ahead in the battleground states. She was a lock. That’s why everyone was so shocked."You're right, but the pollsters who polled in the Deer Hunter and Red states were (IMO) some of the more screwy pollsters nationally. eg, Monmouth and Survey Monkey polled Wisconsin and got that completely wrong, too. Most pollsters who were on the money didn't poll individual states.
But my argument stands: I don't think anyone will be able to tell much about Trump from national polling for the next 4 (or 8) years.
FWIW, President Ulysses Grant probably didn't have very high national approval numbers, either.

Polls aren’t news. They are opinion. Polls can be easily cooked to say whatever you want them to say.

0bama's popularity rating never went below 40% no matter what.
You can get whatever answer you want if you know who to ask. I bet they do.

I’m 67 years old, I have never been polled once in my entire life about anything.
So I am supposed to give a flying f#ck what a poll says?

The only poll that mattered was on election day and America chose Trump. All other polls are Fake.

This is nonsense! Trump just won the presidential election. Now the leftwing news people want us to believe that he has lost the respect of 10% of the whole country before he has even done anything.
I am losing respect for the news media more everyday now. I cannot believe that they would be pulling something like this. Oh, it was the New York Daily News.

Good one. Hope you get to check it off.
