Because yet another poll, Quinnipiac I think, has been added today, the third I think or perhaps the fourth, all of them putting approval rating in the 30s with Quinnipiac confirming the others at 35%.

I am not here to defend polls, I am simply here to tell you that professional politicians take polls very seriously, foreign governments judge the power of the American president on the basis of these polls, and no one but no one takes his polls more personally and more seriously than does Donald Trump himself.

I am not going to argue whether these polls are accurate or not. Make up your own mind. If you think they are problem then the question becomes what to do about it. If you think they are problem but you do not know what to do, you could always attack me, that should make you feel better.

But if you do want to feel better for God sake do not think about Trump's conversations with the premier of China when that man knows that Trump's approval ratings are in the 30s.

'professional politicians take polls very seriously, foreign governments judge the power of the American president on the basis of these polls, and no one but no one takes his polls more personally and more seriously than does Donald Trump himself.' Please. Professional politicians aren't MENSA, but they're bright enough to figure out that polls have become wildly, stupidly inaccurate. They grasp, for example, that Hillary, after being given a 98% chance of winning on election eve, is not POTUS. Professional pols also grasp the huge rallies Trump to this day enjoys. They understand that none of them--not one--can get 10,000+ people to wait in line for hours just to hear them speak. I've read quotes from multiple prominent politicians saying they are terrified to cross Trump because his supporters are so rabidly loyal. If you were not so dedicated to fake polls, you could do a few simple internet searches and read these same quotes. Ditto foreign governments. They probably understand even better than the parasites in DC what a joke polls have become. Your premise assumes that foreign govs operate on a ~80/room-₩00temperature IQ, but they don't. They can see the gap between polls and reality; it's not rocket science. You need to leave the last decade behind. Polls are no longer revered. Reality has smacked these polls hard in the face. The most they possibly amount to these days is balm and salve for Trump Haters. Let that sink in.

Same post with paragraphs.

Btw, you should research the pro-Trump rallies in India. This is not a tiny, negligible country, you know. When’s the last time a US president ignited spontaneous support rallies in a foreign country? I’ve read of pro-Trump demonstrations elsewhere, too. That’s something else the professional hacks in DC are more aware of than the average online poster.

I am simply here to tell you that professional politicians take polls very seriously...

And the REST of America has seen where THAT has gotten us!

Untrue. Trump mocks polls and calls them fake. Trump knows better than the rest of us how wrong the polls have been about him. He despises them.
