But look at Trump. He has the highest favorability and the highest recognition.
But of course that’s not Gallup’s headline...
or whoever posted the gallup info..
I would love someone tonight to ask Trump what his hobby is.
Golf, I know. I don’t consider that a hobby...more like *a good walk, spoiled*
Does he collect stamps? Faberge Eggs? I dunno why I want to know. I’m not far enough into his book, to see if it is mentioned.
Anyone know?
That "high recognition" contributes to his "unfavorable" numbers and ceiling.
You didn’t subtract the unfavorable number to get the net favorable, which is the basis for the headline.
“Familiarity” being 92% = not much room for change.
TRUMP IN FRONT!!!!!!!!!!!!
FIRES GALLUP, FAVORABLE RATING AT 55%!!!!!!
Rubio is a degenerate little twerp and Walker is BORING.
Their unfavorables are going to spike.
Trump isn't even mentioned in the title or article. Are they implying he's not a real candidate? I'm surprised this biased garbage didn't erase his name from the chart.
we have about 20% leftist who call themselves Republicans
Of course. I had to search for Trump way down the line. His favorables look out of place there.
Gallop off into the sunset and be done with it. We ain’t buying what yer sell’in, nohow.
You didn't read the article then; he most certainly is mentioned.
The candidates are ranked (listed) by "net favorable" - the "plus" minus the "negative."
Rubio, Republicans making a mistake again.
There are 2 more interesting graphs at the source.
Note:
Walker has risen +4 in favorability.
Rubio has dropped -4 in favorability.
Trump has dropped -2 in favorability.
etc.
I do not trust any polls. Polls have not been trustworthy for 15 years or more - if even then.
Averages of Polls are a little better — it helps iron out the poorly done polls or the intentionally slanted ones. The best would not be an average but a mean of polls with the extremes on both ends thrown out...
A poll coming out of nowhere favoring Rubio is bullshit — he has been losing percentage points for weeks — How did that get reversed — not possible.
This poll is about favorability which of course, effect electability.
Rubio should run for class president, instead of The President. Never send a boy to do a man’s job.
