Seniors: 99.2% say media wants Trump to fail, 71% 'strongly' back reelection
Washington Examiner ^ | 10 September 2017 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 09/10/2017 2:26:33 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

A survey of over 65,000 seniors has found that virtually all -- 99.2 percent -- believe the media wants President Trump to fail, the latest condemnation of the president's coverage.

A Survey Monkey poll also found that most, 71 percent, back Trump's reelection and many believe that he is making good on his campaign promises.

The survey by the same company that conducts polls for major media outlets was done for the Association of Mature American Citizens, a more conservative alternative to AARP.

The survey asked members 10 questions and found wide support for the president and his policies.

It also found that the seniors feel that congressional Republicans want Trump to fail.

The key findings:

95.9 percent strongly or mostly approve of Trump's job performance.

71 percent will strongly back his reelection, 23.2 percent will "likely" back reelection.

93.6 percent support Trump's newly aggressive anti-terror plan in Afghanistan.

94.9 "strongly agree" that the media is out to get Trump, 4.3 percent "mostly agree."

92 percent feel congressional Republicans want Trump to fail.

56 percent "strongly believe" Trump is fulfilling his campaign promises, 38.9 "mostly" agree.

84.4 percent do not believe Trump colluded with Russia in the 2016 election.

86.3 percent back Trump's threat to shut down the government over border wall funding.

‘92 percent feel congressional Republicans want Trump to fail.’

92 percent are 100 percent right.

Given the makeup of the group polled, the results are unsurprising. Left-leaning AARP might produce entirely different numbers.

As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.

Patriots need to support Trump in pushing the republic back onto its constitutional foundations, the way that the Found States had intended for the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers to be understood.

In fact, after patriots support Trump in peacefully “forcing” the corrupt feds to surrender state powers that the feds have stolen from the states back to the states, consider the following.

Since the states have never amended the Constitution to give ordinary citizens the power to vote for president, I hope that two-term President Trump will be the last president to be elected by unconstitutional popular vote.

Whatever the age limit is, I’m past it. They don’t even ask me if I’m a senior at IHOP. They just give me a discount. LOL

The electoral college, I thought, is NOT the popular vote, but weighted against urban vs rural.

No surprises here!

I find that everyone I talk to has a strongly favorable opinion of President Trump.

America is being scammed by the Fake News industry.

There is no popular vote for President.

The President is elected by the electors of each state.

Thanks for reply.

Thanks to the anti-constitutional republic Progressive Movement as evidenced by the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, state electoral college laws have effectively nullified constitutional lawmakers’ intentions for the 12th Amendment imo.

Very interesting! The left will probably promote that American elders must be aborted by age 70 due to global warming!

Does anyone recall the % in the election of 65 and over for Trump?

Association of Mature American Citizens, a more conservative alternative to AARP....

In other words, the group given the survey could already be predicted to give those responses?
