Two polls released Tuesday — one from ABC and a second from CNN — tout Donald Trump as being the most unfavorable incoming president in modern history — yet on second look, the data is clearly boosted by the pollers’ decision to oversample Democrats.
According to Gallup, 28 percent of Americans identify themselves as a Republican, while 25 percent identify as a Democrat.
Despite this information, eight more percent of participants in both the ABC and CNN polls identified as Democrats, leading to an 11 point swing in partisanship breakdown off the national average.
ABC’s poll sampled 1,005 adults across the nation. However, partisan breakdown shows that only 23 percent of participants identified as Republican.
Conversely, 31 percent of participants identified as Democrats and 37 percent as independent, while nine percent did not answer.
ABC’s poll found 40 percent of participants viewed Trump favorably, while 54 percent viewed him unfavorably. . .

CNN is a proven corrupt operation.
ABC is owned by Disney Corp. Don’t patronize Disney.
Same bullshirt the Left wing media pulled during the election campaign, and as they’ve been doing for decades. Fake News.
TRUMP won the election?
Fake news and fake polls won’t work anymore.
The die is cast. Whoever doesn’t like him, doesn’t like him and whoever likes him, likes him.
Everything could change depending on what President Trump does. The haters will still hate but he could win over the moderates who don’t really follow politics. That’s what Reagan did.
I’m expecting big, successful things from The Donald.
Fake Polls to go with Fake News-Psyops to try to brainwash everyone against Trump. I don’t believe anything they say, and I don’t care what their stinking polls say.
Bwhahahahahahah! LOL!
What a bunch of losers...
That’s a pretty high sampling of independents in the poll???
Same shit as during the campaign..way over sampling dems.
“Fudge”them all they want. Americans (at least Trump voters and I wouldn’t call anyone else an American) are on to their Bullshit!
So what else is new?
This is hilarious!
We’re supposed to take seriously the same pollsters who smugly and stubbornly insisted that Hillary had the election locked down?
Today they’re the leading authorities on Trump’s popularity?
I can’t even get ticked off about this. It’s just too funny.
Same thing they said on Election Day.
And this surprises someone?
I remember a phrase, ‘Stats, statisticians, and liars’; that came from my ‘stats’ instructor. He also said.
“Collecting data is one thing,
Reading it is another,
And BIAS is the dragon in the soup”
Yada, Yada, Yada.
HiLIARy will win in a landslide.
Fake News and BS.
WHO CARES????
“Elections have Consequences”
“We Won”
Sit down and STFU.
Pass out the coloring books.
Who cares? CNN, Washinton Post, ABC...it’s FAKE NEWS designed to serve THEIR progressive/communist agenda.
SO DAMN SIMPLE to SEE, yet, NOT ONE NEWS SHOW, NOT EVEN a FOX NEWS CHANNEL SHOW has bothered to report the OVER-SAMPLING of DEMOCRATS and UNDER-SAMPLING of REPUBLICANS.
In fact, it’s irrelevant what Trump’s “approval” numbers are taking office. Who cares? Are these numbers figured out by the same people who give us the unemployment rates? the exit polls? the deportations?
Let Trump be Trump and make an assessment in a few years.
These are the same corrupt polls that said Trump had no chance to win.
/leftist hysterics 😂😜🤣😆😅
I think most President Trump supporters already knew the polls were rigged. Why would these ones be any different?
