Washington Post Poll Hides: Trump Still Beats Clinton, 43%-40%
Washington Examiner ^ | 4-23-2017 | Paul Bedard

A new Washington Post poll that declares President Trump as "the least popular president in modern times," waits until the second to last paragraph to reveal another tidbit: He'd still beat Hillary Rodham Clinton if the election were held today and in the popular vote, not just Electoral College.

The poll found that Trump's polls continue to be upside down, with a 42 percent approval and 53 percent disapproval.

Also unchanged: His base still likes him.

It's not until the second to last paragraph of the long story that it's shown Clinton would still lose to the president, despite the high disapproval ratings and problems with his first 100 days detailed by the paper.

If the Compost says he beats by 3, he would beat her by 6 or 7.

Consider the fact that the Post's final presidential poll had Clinton leading Trump by four percentage points, and Trump won 306 electoral votes, and now the same pollster has Trump leading her by three. How many electoral votes does Trump win against Clinton if the election were held today?

More proof that the leftists behavior after the election and outright lies has only hurt them.

Considering that he is getting nearly 90% negative media coverage, it is a wonder that his negatives are not lower.

Much to the chagrin of the media, however, is that his loyal supporters are still supporting him at about 91%.

Even George Steph this AM was acknowledging that the dems have a problem, too. Everyone in DC gets low favorability. But the way it's coming down is today President Trump would also win the popular vote!.

Two things need to happen....get the swamp things (including the Prince and Princess) out of the aquarium. And figure out, fast, which DC Republicans depend on Deplorables to get re-elected. And work with them.

The left will just keep re-running the election over and over, and Cankles will STILL not win.

It’s fun watching them pour good money after bad.

The compost is only capable of fake news, lies and whatever they dream up, posing as news, when it comes to reporting what President Trump is doing.

The compost reminds me of the football fans, who hate the Patriots.

The Patriots keep winning while the others keep whining.

Pats are only hated by some because they cheat. There is and always will be a cloud over their success. Folks just don’t believe their successes are legitimate.

In the 1950’s the N Y Yankees were dispised by all baseball fans except NYY fans but they were never accused of cheating.
