At this point in time I do not underestimate the stupidity of my fellow citizens.

Many people also are in this position because they never lived within their means. Never stashed part of their paycheck away for rainy day emergencies. Never made getting out of debt a higher priority over a new car, latest iphone, etc etc.

This is the biggest news since Clintoon’s popularity during the impeachment trial.

That’s as fake as the unemployment numbers.

A look at any poll fine print reveals the dodgy methodology, laughably small sample size vis a vis the population and even dodgier jiggering of the numbers to comport with preexisting assumptions about the responses ie weighting.

Add in Robodialers and bored/obnoxious call center staff and you have a toxic brew.

And, to top it all off, any person I know and respect the intelligence of would point blank refuse to particpate in a poll, especially when they pry into voting registration, income, family size, occupation, race, age, marital status etc.

Inescapable conclusion 1: anyone participating in a phone poll is bored, gullible, foolish and/or vain.

Inescapable conclusion 2: a poll assembled from responses from bored, gullible, foolish, and vain people is worthless

Inescapable conclusion 3: polls are an insidious and constant attempt to push the Appeal To Majority fallacy.

Only stands to reason that Obama would do well because he is totally responsible for our awesome unemployment rate and other positive economic outcomes. /s/ Same people obviously in charge of cooking all the books.

If Trump is elected and BO leaves all the numbers will immediately go in the dumper but all you will hear is because Obama is no longer president.

Hell no I don’t believe those numbers. The entire regime is a frickin’ lie.

Obama has 51% popularity? Unlikely. If someone had said 1%,I might believe it. Who did they poll? How much was it embellished? How were the polling questions worded? I’d be surprised if he had 51% the day he was elected & it’s certainly gone downhill since then.
