Comey Less Popular Than Trump In New Poll
freebeacon.com ^ | May 24, 2017

Posted on 05/24/2017 6:27:25 AM PDT by Helicondelta

A new poll showed ex-FBI Director James Comey with a lower job approval rating than President Trump, Yahoo reported Tuesday.

The latest Harvard-Harris poll showed 60 percent of voters disapproving of Comey's job at the FBI, with just 40 percent approving. In that same survey, Trump's job approval rating touched a new low, but at 45 percent.

...

Moreover, 70 percent expressed disapproval over the way Comey probed Clinton’s email scandal. His favorability rating was 31 percent positive compared to 39 percent negative, the Hill reported, citing poll results.

"The polling on Comey shows that President Trump is more in trouble for the way he fired Comey rather than for removing him," Mark Penn, co-director of the Harvard-Harris survey, told the news outlet.

Separately, Trump’s job approval rating touched a new low in the poll, the Hill reported. According to the survey, the president’s job approval rating declined to 45 percent currently from 49 percent in March.

Trump's job approval at 45% is excellent. The MSM has failed.

The MSM fails, but the all out assault on DJT continues.

DNC: fellow travelers are simple folk. You’re changing the narrative too fast for them to catch on.

The Deep State is after him.

His mistake was going after them before he was ready. Probably had no clue as to what would happen. Should have paid attention to what happened to JFK who went after Federal reserve and CIA.

I saw where Bannon left the trip early to prepare for a War. I hope so.

He hasn’t hired the right staff to deal with a Deep State coup.

Hopefully the reported change up will happen.

According to certain Trump-haters, everything he’s done has been wrong/a mistake. As bungling and clueless as some imagine him to be, how on earth did he even manage to survive the primaries, much less prevail over Hillary and her deep state cohorts?

Comey doesn’t have a job to be approved of anymore. Yet another new category of fake news.

The dirty little secret is that a large portion of average Americans are behind Trump. The more the media bash him the more they prove how nasty and corrupt the establishment and their partners in the media are. This will only make Trump supporters more determined to see him succeed because that is why we elected him. Now we have all gotten a glimpse of how an outsider is treated in Washington and frankly I am pretty disgusted by it.

‘”The polling on Comey shows that President Trump is more in trouble for the way he fired Comey’

Sounds like a push poll.

“President Trump fired Comey in the most low down, dirty, dastardly way possible. Do you approve?”

A poll that will never see the light of day on CBS/NBC/ABC.

Gotta love the ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACKS.

They seem to think that if Trump had fired Comey in some other way, everyone would be happy - or not complaining so loud. I hate to inform these people, but these are Trump’s ENEMIES - they will never be pleased.

I guess in this case, they could have given Comey a nice two week notice back at the office...and thereby given him two weeks of access to whatever he needs to cover his tracks, similar to the way that Bill Clinton’s people spent weeks shedding documents after Bush won in 2000.

But I prefer this approach - leave everything in place, seal it up, and then let Mr. Comey know he’s out of work. Did it get the liberals mad - yes. So what?

“...more in trouble for the way he fired Comey...”

If the DOJ staffer who delivered the termination paper took control of Comey’s office, removed the Clinton investigative file and padlocked the office, I say it was a remarkably well done termination.

While these breathless every-other-day polls on Trump are entertaining, has anyone bothered to check the public’s opinions of Schumer, Pelosi, Maxine and the other Demwits lately?

Please post my post. I don’t remember it.

CLEARLY, Trump wasn’t ready for the Deep State attack.

But you can pretend all is going well if you want.

The more I think about this..the more hacked off I get. I am sick and tired for people lying about me.

You need to post the post or shut up. I don’t remember it. Perhaps I said it..can’t think of why or when.

She is half correct....Trump should have fired all Obama appointees day one and not hired anyone who was in past republican administrations without deep vetting. Has to do with the nature of the DC deep state beast instead of not being a Trump fan.

I am no Trump fan because I see him as liberal but I do see him as the US's last hope and want him to succeed. I am not sure anyone really understood the power of the deep state going in, including me. I will say these last couple of months has been a huge eye opener. If Trump does not win against the deep state, the US is gone, our freedoms and rights are gone.

With no Governmental Experience other than schoomzing with Candidates..he had no way to really know. Someone should have advised him. Maybe no one really knew. Seems odd. Or maybe he just listened too much to Ivanka and Jared when it came to hiring people.

But I knew it. You don’t go after the IC until you have everything in place..because they will try to Deep Six you. The only thing that has surprised me is that someone in the IC didn’t try to take him out a la Kennedy. That was always my fear.

They will use every Psy Ops plan that they can to take him down. They are masters at it. It’s what they do.
