There seems to be a great discrepancy.

I are confused.

But the NY Post says the President’s numbers are in “free fall,” setting a 70 yr record low of 37%! That is quite a spread…..

Gallup 37%

Rasmussen 49%

I guess we're going to have to decide for ourselves what the truth is. We sure aren't going to find it in the "polls".

I think it has a lot to do with how phrases the question using modern propaganda tactics. They usually get the answer they are seeking by the way they set up the question.

I could have sworn I saw on this very site!! that he had approval ratings in the single digits :)

Nah, it was like 37 percent.

Some polls are about as accurate as they were about the elections :)

Trump needs to expose the 400 members of the Journolist to the public.
It only got “disbanded” in 2010 after it was discovered.
It is still active but under a different name.

Rasmussen nailed the 2016 presidential race.

Gallup has been garbage for over a decade now.

It depends who you poll. If you poll mostly democrats, not only is Trump’s approval low, but Hillary still may win!

Now we know why Gallup got out of the Presidential polling business sometime ago.

It would be 60% if he’d stand staunchly behind his Obamacare promise.

Rasmussen polls “likely voters.”

Gallup polls everyone, including illegals, jihadists and dead people.

Polls like Gallup, Fox and CNN have no credibility because they still use legacy live operators rather than the new technology, which was much closer to the mark on election day. Another problem is pollsters tend to oversample metropolitan areas, and undersample rural and exurb communities. That’s why they never saw the tsunami on November 8 coming.
