Notice how they can’t just say “President Trump approval rating went up.” They have to soften the blow for the left, by saying it only “inched” higher, then even couch that by saying it was only because of “Republican support”. That way their lefty readers can just dismiss it by saying, “oh than goodness, real people don’t support Trump, only Republicans!”
This is certainly going to make heads explode over at thehill.com. The loony leftists in the comments section WERE POSITIVE that President Trump would be down to 30% after the Russian Summit, they really thought the impeachment hearings would be starting as soon as the new polls hit. Yet the actual response from “real America” was a yawn....
NBC buried the lede with the headline of public’s disapproval of his handling of Russia, a phony issue that is clearly moving zero voters nowhere except slightly in Trump’s direction w/ his GOP support consolidation.
Polling data is always considered to have a 3 to 4% error possibility.
Thanks for pointing out all the fake news techniques.
