NY Times polling guru cautions Trump-hating readers that his approval numbers may go higher
American Thinker ^ | 9/2/2019 | Thomas Lifson

While Dave Ball today on these pages cautions us that polls no longer are reliable, in his article Trump in a Landslide: Here's Why, the New York Times’ own polling guru is picking up signs that the paper’s bête noire may be surging in public support. Nate Cohn writes in Don’t Assume Trump’s Approval Rating Can’t Climb Higher. It Already Has.:

"Donald J. Trump doesn’t always seem like a candidate focused on expanding his base of support. He may have done so anyway.

The share of Americans who say they have a favorable view of him has increased significantly since the 2016 election."

This is totally in agreement with what Dave Ball reports, based on his experiences in 2016 and 2019 at the Washington County (PA) Agricultural Fair, which predicted Trump’s 2016 victory:

"It looks as if President Trump will do even better than 2016. I have never seen such enthusiasm, especially so far before an election. More than 75,000 people attended the fair, and the crowd was a sea of MAGA and KAG hats, Trump shirts, Trump pins, you name it. This was Trump country, no doubt about it."

"I know I'm singing to the FR choir, but how can a pollster do impartially based sampling when he is scaring the bee-jeebers out of those he's sampling?"

Because it's like the dossier:

The key here would be to have a courageous, visible, losing Donkey candidate SUE THE EVERLASTING SHIT out of their pollsters, but it will never happen ...

Cankles would have been the absolute test case -- and if she was smart, she could have really used the case to ruin some people -- but she has too much money and lately prefers to wield yield power in other ways.

As time gets closer to the 2020 election, I have already made plans to work as a volunteer for President Trump’s re-election. I’m retired so I do have the time to devote to this cause. I have also been donating the money that I can, when I can. I have never felt this motivated about a presidential race since President Reagan’s race against the Peanut Farmer.

President Trump has fully earned my trust, my respect and my admiration. I take great comfort that I am not alone in this and that we shall stand as one to see this through.

Yeah, well, there are a number of ‘creepers’ (my computer continually corrects f r e e p e r s to ‘creepers’...) who still pine for anybody but President Trump... They subtly post remarks to stay under the fig leaves.

The choice in the 2020 Presidential election:

President Trump who LOVES America and the American Dream

or

A candidate from the Party of HATE, who HATES EVERYTHING, especially America.

Just keep 'em talking.

The difference between LOVE and HATE grows ever more obvious, and sane, decent, truthful people everywhere are sick of the HATE.

LOVE or HATE: That's your choice, America.

“I wonder if those rising numbers might cause long-lasting psychological trauma?”

That would be a shame.

Their hate is so great, I don't doubt you'd get some takers if this was advertised as a real event.
