Got to think his real approval is higher than that. Also, it seems pretty unlikely that 46% strongly disapprove. What do they disapprove of? Border security? Jobs?

Saying he would continue his effort to prove President Obama was not born in the United States, Arpaio said, “Stay tuned.”

How can this be? The media have been pumping us full of stories, really since his inauguration, that this administration is in chaos and meltdown.

On the latest issues, the media have been telling us that Trump is wrong on the NFL players protests. My God, the outrage has been intense, outrage over Trump saying anything, then talking heads delve into a discussion of freedom of speech.

And recent tragic news from Puerto Rico after the hurricane, is being exploited by the media, who are framing it as Trump not having done enough, soon enough, to send aid to the island. Some idiot on MSNBC said that Puerto Rico is Trump’s Katrina. The media sure are pushing that meme that this is Trump’s Katrina. See if that meme gains traction, the way Bush was tagged with all of the blame for Katrina, at least in the liberal mind he was.

Horse kaka...he won the election with more than 50%...none of those have left him...

Well, Obama’s numbers were in many instances not terribly better or in a number of instances, worse. And this was after the Media Party propping him and Michelle up all of time.

The people who would actually vote in election are likely a different story.

But didn’t CNN tell us that 80% of the country thinks he’s Hitler?

“Got to think his real approval is higher than that. Also, it seems pretty unlikely that 46% strongly disapprove. What do they disapprove of? Border security? Jobs? “

In my one foray into politics, I discovered that a high percentage of people, up to 40%, will be on the other side of an issue regardless of what it will cost them. They either see the world differently from the rest of us or they have some mental issue that just makes them take the side opposite of reason. My dad, for example, was a contrary responder. If I said “it” was white he’d insist it was black. No evidence to the contrary was admissible. (This got much worse as he aged.)

A conservative looks at a line of assembly workers and sees products being built by labor freely contracted at an agreed take-it-or-leave-it wage. A Leftist sees people indentured into slavery by a money-grubbing capitalist. These two hypothetical observers aren’t making anything up. They really see the same scene differently from one another.

We run into what I call the 40/20/40 rule. On any issue 40% will see it positively, 40% will view the same issue negatively and 20% are wondering what time is lunch. All elections are a fight for 51% of the undecided’s in the middle who really don’t care. Those people vote on looks and what they heard on the news last. (This is why the eleventh hour lies by the Left work so well. They only need for certain something to appear to be true long enough to get that priceless, low information vote.)

46% strongly disapprove. This is the result of relentless propaganda . The good news is 54% are committed enough to understanding what reality actually is not be fooled.

[DouglasKC]

I was going to say the same thing the real approval rating is probably around 60 to 65%

Of what use are these polls when the streets are filled with leftist tools ushering in a Fascist state?

There are more evil people than good, has always been that way, so, of what use is polls?

Fraud': Mainstream polls use 29% more Democrats than Republicans

Washington Examiner ^ | 09/22/2017 | Paul Bedard Posted on 9/23/2017, 4:30:52 PM by ForYourChildren

Most of the top political polls that got the 2016 presidential race dead wrong are continuing to use a flawed methodology in rating President Trump's approval ratings that favors Democrats, women and younger voters, according to a new analysis.

The report shows that the mainstream polls oversample an average of 29 percent more Democrats than Republicans and the results skew anti-Trump. The result is that it robs Trump of about 8 points in his approval ratings, from 46 percent to 38 percent, it said.

No doubt ...these phony ass polls always poll more democrats than republicans and fewer independents than actually exist!!!

[cpdiii]

45% approval is good when realizes 15 or 20 percent of those that do not approve hold the democrat party in total contempt. They will either stay home or reluctantly vote for Trump. We are winning!

[Bringbackthedraft]

What do they disapprove of? Border security? Jobs? ........................... Racist, woman hater, homophobic, or anything that comes out of his mouth that displeases them. “He must not succeed, we got to win this F’r no matter what”. Same people with the same nonsense.

[Impy]

Shillery got 48%, with fraud, without fraud, still mid 40’s. Her voters do disapprove of border security.

These are good numbers, rats will do poorly in the midterms if Trump is at 45%.

[Pinkbell]

Reality is Puerto Rico might have a negative impact in the next polls. We’ll see.

[relictele]

To the extent I worry about polls, especially nebulous approval ratings, 2016 showed us that inherent bias including ‘weighting’ is worth 5% along with a constant flow of negative coverage of any GOP figure worth another 5% thanks to the sheep among us.

So, the audience’s own ‘weighting’ should automatically add 10%.

Unless you’re Mitch McConnell.
