Good Morning America anchor George Stephanopoulos couldnt hide his surprise at his own networks poll results, during Mondays show. The ABC News/Washington Post poll over the weekend revealed positive numbers for the President, going against the medias negative narrative that supporters had abandoned Trump.
Not only that, but the poll revealed Trump would win the election again, if it were taken today. A flabbergasted Stephanopoulos admitted he was surprised by the results, in two different segments on todays show.
In the first report by White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl, ABC led with Trumps low approval ratings among the general population. But at the end of the report, Karl had to reveal the positive numbers the poll revealed as well:
STEPHANOPOULOS: And, Jon, let's stick with that poll for a second. You point out a lot of the challenges for President Trump in the poll, some of the warn signs for Democrats as well. One of the biggest warnings for Democrats, the surprising result if you re- ran the election today.
KARL: Yeah this is very interesting. If the election were rerun today, with those who voted in 2016, Donald Trump would beat Hillary Clinton. And George, it's 43/40, meaning he would beat her in the popular vote. Which of course he didnt do in the real election.
STEPHANOPOULOS: That would be a real flip, Jon Karl, thanks very much.
Later in the show, Stephanopoulos spoke with Joe Kelly, the morning host at 96.5 WDBO in Orlando, an area which heavily voted for Trump.
You talk to Trump voters every single day, the anchor began. I want to start off with that number from our poll. 96% say theyre standing by President Trump right now, they would vote for him again, he continued.
Stephanopoulos then asked what Trumps secret was to maintaining support, insinuating that no one else could understand why he still had supporters:
Whats the secret to his staying power with those voters? he asked, quizzically.
Stephanopoulos followed up by asking the radio host if Trumps supporters would still support him even though he broke his promise to get Mexico to pay for the border wall. Again, would ABC ever ask Obama supporters if they still supported him for breaking promises like, If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor?'
Hillary ran her campaign like a shake-down operation, not as an effort to earn votes.
In other words, Trump is up 5% post election LOL!
First off, Georgie Porgie is NOT a journalist. He is, at best, an Idealogue.
Second, it proves his inability to understand hoe a massive part of Americans think.
She really slacked off in the last stages of the election.
And, people complete ignored what they were seeing. We saw it! Trump was getting massive crowds. She was getting smaller and smaller groups with her seating downsized.
The expected reaction of a certified Koolaid drinker.
George really wanted to use his presidential knee pads on Hillary.
George you need to learn that we don’t want liberals ruining the nation...
Well, Georgie. If Hillary would have been more forceful against elephant poaching she would be President now. It’s all about opportunities.
I think its called believing your own BS, George.
Yeah, until ya get beat back.
He’s confused because all his (and the MSM) efforts to denigrate and demoralize Trump’s supporters don’t work.
Just like all his efforts to demoralize and denigrate Trump voters didn’t work before the election.
He’s surprised his job is ineffective.
I’m not.
That photo of GS...
Looks like the big boys gave him a wedgie with his jeans!
Hey little Stephlocokus with the little man syndrome... suck it!
Bwaaahaaaaahaaaaahaaaa!
Hey, Little Georgie, most Americans despise you and your ilk. Deal with it.
And to think he was such a good little Clinton butt boy
