CBS poll? And people STILL quote polls?

[IC Ken]

MY own poll, and just as scientific, shows 95% of Americans are too stupid to understand tariffs, free trade or any agreements we are in.

[Robert DeLong]

Really digging from the bottom of the barrel now are we?

[Buckeye McFrog]

How many of those think the tariffs would hurt the economy but a carbon tax would not?

Nice try by the globalists. But Rasmussen suggests otherwise:

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/02/06/poll-americans-increasingly-supportive-of-tariffs-to-protect-u-s-against-globalization/

In a poll by Rasmussen Reports, roughly 50 percent of Americans said the federal government should “place tariffs on goods from countries that pay very low wages to their workers,” as opposed to only 26 percent of Americans who said tariffs should not be imposed on foreign countries.

Poll: Voters support Trump’s tariffs 41% - 35%

The Miami bridge collapse where concrete girders instead of much lighter steel girders were used shows why we need to protect our steel industry. And whose bright idea was it to make the roof over the pedestrian walk way out of concrete???

[R Rogers]

This poll brought to you by the Communist Chamber of Commerce. (Funded by Soros.)

[Cobra64]

Most of the public hasn’t a clue what a tariff is, its historical use in the US, nor the fact that Trump is a negotiator. The hysteria and frenzy among these critics is pathetic.

Facts matter...

It is not a CBS poll. CBS may have paid for it but they did not conduct it.

Legit polling company that actually showed support for Trump talking to North Korea...

Unless you have links to Soros funding of this company, then No it is not brought to you by Communist Chamber of Commerce or funded by Soros...Sounds great, but facts matter.

“It is not a CBS poll. CBS may have paid for it but they did not conduct it.”

If CBS paid for it, it is a CBS poll. And since when has a poll promoted by CBS achieved the level of a fact?

[Freedom56v2]

CBS paid for the poll. Legit company did it.
Hyperbole gets real old...If you had read what I posted, you would see that they did a poll supporting Trump talks to Kim...that was most recent example.

[odawg]

“Hyperbole gets real old...”

It sure does. Their sample:

Weighted — 1109

Rep. -——273

Dem -——337

Ind -——499

I trust you can do the math.

[Freedom56v2]

Yes, I can do the math...With all due respect, I cannot find the numbers you are presenting in the poll results page.

“This poll was conducted by telephone March 8-11, 2018 among a random sample of 1,223 adults nationwide.

You are stating 1109.

My point here is that lately there have been a lot of “off the cuff” remarks about anything and everything that does not support the company line. Someone else posted that this company is Soros funded...Well, I looked and did not see it...Not saying it might not be true, but again, people post stuff that is not accurate and then positions become indefensible...I’d rather see more facts and less opinion presented as fact.

People may not like the results on this poll, but I am sure they liked the other poll’s results as they supported President Trump...

Frankly I find this poll believable as there are many people outside of FR who are ambivalent at best regarding tariffs.

[odawg]

“You are stating 1109.”

Check their website.

1109 is the number of people polled at random. 499 of the respondents were independents, 337 democrats, a mere 273 Republicans. Give Trump 50% of the independents. Add that to 337 democrats. Projected weighted bias against Trump - about 2 to 1.

[Freedom56v2]

I give up...I cannot find your numbers on either CBS or the website...And you did not link like I did.

Whatever...you can believe what you want. I am done..
