Who did they sample, 60% Dems again?

I reject all polls.

I think polls are tools of persuasion. They are manufactured to tell the people how they ought to feel about things. Every poll is fake news.

[GOPJ]

Pollsters told us Hillary was going to be President too... they lie.

Oh boy, look, more...

Don’t dismiss these polls out of hand. The constant drum beat by the media, and the selective leaks of testimony have a tremendous effect on the low information voter.

Many Americans just want things to be calm. They hear the “noise” and see President Trump as the cause.

Gallup polls are always push polls. Thus they are to be ignored, so please do so.

Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted Oct. 1-13, 2019, with a random sample of 1,526 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. For results based on the total sample of national adults, the margin of sampling error is ±3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. All reported margins of sampling error include computed design effects for weighting. Each sample of national adults includes a minimum quota of 70% cellphone respondents and 30% landline respondents, with additional minimum quotas by time zone within region. Landline and cellular telephone numbers are selected using random-digit-dial methods.

Positively UN-SCIENTIFIC - no better than a CNN website poll.

Fake poll

Any adult polling like this is a garbage polling tactic no real polling outfit uses. The only reason to poll “any adult” is because it pushes the existing media narrative since more uninformed, uninvolved adults merely repeat the last headline they glanced at.

Meanwhile left wing Ipso published a poll the same day, using reputable polling methodology that shows exactly the opposite result.

And a majority Republican non-weighted poll becomes a majority Democrat weighted poll...

The mother of all disinformation campaign begins. Its time for total support president Trump.

This guy was pretty liberal New York republican who has taken up our mantel and governed as conservative more in line with our Constitution then even Ronald Reagan.

What has he done where he hasn't put America first?

[CodeToad]

According to the communist media?? No thanks. They lie even when caught in their lies.

Yep, another fraudulent poll - random people who pick up their phones, ZERO to do with party affiliation or whether they are likely to vote.

The constant drum beat by the media, and the selective leaks of testimony have a tremendous effect on the low information voter.

I completely agree.

[a fool in paradise]

Gallup in that PDF claims that 77% opposed impeachment of Bill Clinton in June 1998.

And why didn’t they list subsequent months as the facts were made public?

[neodad]

Again “adults” were surveyed......

[TexasGunLover]

I reject all polls.

Even those that paint Trump in a positive light? Bold to be so brave around here...

> I reject all polls. <

Liberal is sitting on his couch, watching ‘The View’. Pollster calls. Liberal chats with pollster for half an hour.

Conservative is in his garage, working in his car. Pollster calls. Conservative immediately hangs up, then goes back to working on his car.

The sample is Adults with no adjustment for party affiliation?
