Washington Post Reports On 'Regretful' Trump Voters To Fit Their Narrative
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/22/17 | Daniel Allott

Posted on 11/22/2017 2:48:47 PM PST by leaymane

The Post identifies the participants as “Trump voters,” which is ostensibly true. But they are an unrepresentative sample. What better way to find Trump voters who regret their vote than to talk to non-Republicans. The majority of Trump voters are Republicans, but only a third of the Trump voter focus group participants are Republicans, which may explain why only one participant said she was still fully supportive of the president.

The headline says, “Trump voters” but the piece focuses only on women, with the opinions of one man tacked on at the end. The Post doesn’t explain the gender breakdown of the group.

NBC News also did a write-up of Hart’s focus group, in which seven of the voters are identified as Clinton voters and only five as Trump voters. As with the Washington Post write up, the reviews are mostly negative.

Based on these negative reviews of the president’s performance, Hart told NBC News, “President Trump has embarrassed even his own supporters, and his problems start and end with himself. All of his problems are self-inflicted.”

The NBC News piece includes a paragraph at the end that somewhat belies the buyer’s remorse storyline. “And despite the tough words delivered throughout the evening, none of the five Trump voters said they had ruled out supporting his potential re-election bid or candidates he backs in the 2018 midterms.”

A few days after these stories were published, Sorock Research Group conducted a panel survey of 204 female Trump voters, and its findings, in its words, “strongly contradict” those of the Washington Post.

In SRG’s survey, 96 percent of the female Trump voters said they were not “embarrassed by President Trump’s behavior,” and just 0.5 percent of the female group said they regretted voting for him.

What are these clowns going to do when Trump wins by a big margin in 2020?


Hopefully they’ll kill themselves so I don’t have e to hear their bitching for 8 years.

The only regret I have is that every commie-lib in DC, Calif. and NYC hasn’t been thrown into prison.

Did they report on all three Trump voters who now regret their vote? Good for them. I am waiting on pins and needles for the story about the thousands who regret their hrc vote...

Ummm, it's the Washington Post - they've found 3 Hillary supporters who still wish she was President... for the next installment of this BS story.
