"The Post-ABC poll finds 44 percent of Americans approve of Trump’s overall job performance and 51 percent disapprove. While views of Trump remain negative, Trump’s approval rating is significantly improved from his 38 percent mark in late October. "

Be of good heart. It must have truly pained the WA Po to have published this.

Nice work, Nancy.

I’m not “divided”. I’m smart enough to know when somebody tries to pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining.

The important data from polling is the direction, here the direction is improvement of 6 points toward favorable, that's BIG.

ITS THE ECONOMY STUPID! All of a sudden there are the sounds of hammers and cement trucks all around us again. If that isn’t a sign what is? Seems like everything is selling. Screw the haters, they know not what they do.

It appears that 51% of the respondents are grade A dumbasses.

There are people, probably more than we think, who get their news from ABC, NBDC, CBS, CNN, who never read a newspaper, and believe what they hear from these venues.

Having said that, it’s clear to me that you have a media who 24/7 day after day after week and month have done nothing but portray Trump in negative terms.

Rarely as in practically never, do they post a positive story...or accomplishment.

So 51 disapprove? I say BS to that... BS...

After the poll debacle of 2016, I don’t put much stock in polls.

When I was a boy there were two kids, already pubescent and familiar in the ways of the foreign school I had just begun to attend, who used to abuse me physically, play tricks on me, and do all they could to make me unpopular. It didn’t help that I was just learning their language. They used to get me to make a fool of myself and I went along with it, always thinking I would eventually please them.

However, the brutality never stopped.

Increasingly bullied and increasingly unpopular, I ultimately realized (subconsciously) that I had nothing to lose.

Tripped, sneakily, in the yard one day and with a pile of snowy gravel thrown in my face, I lost it. I was like a savage monkey on the face of bully No.1

Bully No. 1 was sent away after that, maybe to the hospital. There was a lot of blood and some of it was mine. But not much.

He wept like a sissy.

He returned to school a week later.

They WOULD NOT STOP, and the pain was unbearable. I cried in my sheets nightly.

However I fortuitously waited for the right time to return fire, and I won the hearts of everyone who previously teased me and scoffed at me. (Including in my unusual case the bully...)

That was that. And that’s what’s going to happen in 2020.

Except I was 10 years old in 6th grade.

And Donald J. Trump is considerably wiser than I was then.

The division is primarily due to the constant braying of the FAKE NEWS complex.

Why there is no accountability baffles the mind.

Polls are so worthless that I ignore them

Especially if you understand the methodology and laws beneath the whole calling process i.e. they have to have your permission to call you or the fine for not used to be $1500 per FTC regulations and could be higher now

Also the sampling rate, heavily weighted in their view and like a thumb on the scale tilting the tables to drive a message. I care more about letting a smelly fart than I do anything posted and published with a member of the MSM as a source. You are hat you eat and if you take what they publish as “food” then the rest will be apparent

Garbage in, Garbage out

Let's be honest....The Dems are rigging the numbers....just like they did for Hillary....much to her chagrin.

Polls these days amount to "mind control".

Look what happened just this week....Virginians marching for the right to bear arms.

Millions marching for "the right to life."

Look at the stock market. Average folks with an IRA never dreamed of the market in the 20s.

Then there's the trade deal with Japan, China, Canada and Mexico.

Tax Cuts

Repairing Obamacare.

Recognizing Jerusalem.

Taking out ISIS.

Appointing 2 USSC justices and about 150 Federal judges.

Building a border wall and stopping the open door policy of Obama.

There's no doubt. President is making us Great Again...with more to come.

Never ever believe any poll from The Washington Post.

23 October 2016 (Just 2 weeks before the elections)

ABC/Washington Post poll:

Clinton Vaults to a Double-Digit Lead, Boosted by Broad Disapproval of Trump (POLL)

New Polls Show That Clinton Has a Bigger Lead as Election Day Nears

— — Hillary Clinton has vaulted to a double-digit advantage in the inaugural ABC News 2016 election tracking poll, boosted by broad disapproval of Donald Trump on two controversial issues: His treatment of women and his reluctance to endorse the election’s legitimacy.

Likely voters by a vast 69-24 percent disapprove of Trump’s response to questions about his treatment of women. After a series of allegations of past sexual misconduct, the poll finds that some women who’d initially given him the benefit of the doubt have since moved away.

"It must have truly pained the WA Po to have published this."

Particularly since manipulating polling target populations is their primary poll-development technique... It is bound to upset them when even "fake" polls show significant "relative" increases among their own serfs...

“Never ever believe any poll from The Washington Post.”

I tend to believe them when it runs counter to their agenda.

It’s like a witness for the prosecution giving testimony favorable to the defense.

Oh the humanity!

The nationwide survey ... finds 47 percent of the public saying senators should remove Trump from office and 49 percent saying they should not. Those views are similar to a Post-ABC poll in December, in which 49 percent supported Trump’s removal while 46 percent were opposed.

Uhm. No they're not similar.

I simply cannot fathom that 51% disapprove of the job he is doing. That is why these polls are silly. People, for the most part, poll on emotion and cannot answer polls objectively on the question. They are more a popularity contest than job approval.

Irrelevant. All that matters is the opinion of likely voters in contested states.
