For a fascist disapproval of a slim majority definitely isn't "underwater" just a "minor inconvenience".
declining approval ratings, citing a new Quinnipiac poll showing 53% of voters disapprove of his second-term performance
Another Quinnipiac poll from last month determined 45 percent approved of Trump’s performance and 49 percent disapproved.
So half of the people still approve of what he's doing? How does such a small percentage even justify a news article with such a ridiculous headline? The US are so cooked it's not even funny. Wake me when it's at 90% disapproval.
What stands out to me is that they are making a big deal out if a small change...to a Republican approval rating. This is exactly the type of data they'd be holding up while screaming about how bad Obama is, for instance. Did feel odd using the tactic against their own, let alone god emperor Cheeto.
They're probably trying to take control of the party back from Trump. They did push back against him during his first term, but fell flat on their faces and started losing viewers to Newsmax. Now they're trying to back it with data. They've spent the last few decades training their viewers to ignore data, though, so we'll see how that goes.
I've never heard of that polling agency in my life before. I had to look it up, it's a private university in Connecticut.
I sure didn't get polled about any of this.
So no, more precisely, half of all people polled by this one school in a state that nobody talks about approve of what he's doing. I'm willing to bet half of those people have no idea what's going on.
I have a very hard time believing that half of all Americans are happy and content with current events. I live here, I hear people complain.
Do you honestly believe good polls call everyone for a poll, or that they need to to get good results?
I do think they need to have a good sample size to get results that make sense, yes.
Doing some research on it, seems like Quinnipiac's standard polling is conducted "in more than 20 states and cities as well as nationally" (particular locations not specified) and has typically 1,000+ respondents using random digit dialing. Meaning they just slap random numbers into the phone and see who picks up.
I can't say I can immediately come up with a better solution right off the top of my head right now, but I can identify several problems with their approach, namely being actual size of sample (1000 respondents is 0.000003% of the population) and the way they gather their responses (when was the last time you answered the phone for an unknown caller? Now when was the last time your grandmother did?).
Can we stop bullying transpeole now and admit maybe it actually IS Trump that's the problem?
How long before Trump wants her fired?
Well, a month ago a majority still approved... so I guess it's a tiny minuscule progress? One eaten face at a time?
You know what would be dope tho is if he were underwater in a swasticar.
That leave - at least - 47% of nazis in the USA. Already too much, this country needs to be wipe out, with the exception of the First Nations, the real people to whom this territory belongs.
Some Republicans have dismissed these angry constituents as "paid actors."
SOROOOOOOOOS!
shakes tiny fist
Jokes on them, he's not doing this for the American people.
wake me up when it's the 100% it should be
"The president’s approval rating has been struggling for at least a month"
He's only been in office 53 days... so struggling 56.6% of the time... at least.
