Concur, this looks bad for him, and I’m curious why so many people dislike him. Media spin?

I grew up in New York, so I don’t know if the NY media was more negative, or simply more abundant, but the notion people had about who Trump was:

* Ditches wives for newer models
* Bankrupt over and over again (I had no idea that only certain companies he owned went bankrupt.)
* Hollywood/Manhattan moral values. (Now he’s supposedly pro-life)
* Loved the Clintons.
* Profited from manipulating and exploiting badly written laws, and seeking political cronyism.
* Didn’t see such loopholes and cronyism as a problem, so long as they benefited him.

Too often, people don’t like to hear what they truly need to hear.

"Media spin?"

Of course, but it runs deeper than that.

Have you noticed that the RESULTS of all these zillions of polls and surveys are announced regularly and breathlessly...but does anyone ever see what the QUESTIONS were?

I never see 'em!

The way polls turn out depends almost entirely how the questions are framed. Clever, subtle survey questions by biased poll-takers can skew the results in any way they desire.

I don't even see many, if any, freepers questioning the questions when they hear or read the poll results.

You can't be serious.
