I was not asked. This is a MSM, Liberal, Obama just patting each other on the back. Doesn’t count.

So its basically a poll of people who have nothing better to do than spend 5 minutes on the phone with a pollster.

I tell them, “My input and contribution isn’t free. My rate is $100 per hour. Let me have your credit card number so I can set up an account for your organization. Your time began when I picked up the phone.”

22% = 10% African Americans + 12% true liberals.
Believable.

Atheists need to worship something. They seem to gravitate on power hungry politicians.

Yeah, Sure, Uh huh, about as valid as the polls before the election with Clinton up by 20 points! When are they gonna learn the difference between facts and lies?

Does anyone honestly think they’d tell us the truth if Trump rated above Obunga, as he probably did? Have we that quickly forgotten the fraudulent polls that guaranteed a Hillary landslide? I throw a brown flag and call BS on this poll!

Sadly, yes. But we'll warm up some and get rain in a few days; or so they claim. *sigh*

Maine, N.H., and VT. are supposed to get hit, BIG LEAGUE, with a blizzard.

Exactly. They could poll for recognition of POTUS regardless of the person in the seat and probably get close to 22%.

> ...it’s highly likely that people are simply responding with a name they know. Garbage In, Garbage Out.

If a pollster asked me which man do you admire most, I couldn’t answer. I don’t know. That goes for historical figures too. I like some characteristics of some persons (and do like some persons, of course, much more than others), but I also dislike many things about them — and there are millions of “candidates”.

I agree that these polls — to the degree that they are legitimate — are mostly just name-recognition and prominence polls. A plurality of persons on the left or right just name their most prominent figure, and that makes enough to win.

Obama is not a MAN, in any sense of the word.

Hopefully, they’ll be right and it’ll miss us and we’ll just get a bit of snow and no 50 mph wind. I am in no mood for any of that!
