6 months in, record low job approval for Trump: Poll
abcnews.comAmericans give President Donald Trump the lowest six-month approval rating of any preside ^ | July 16, 2017 | Gary Langer

Americans give President Donald Trump the lowest six-month approval rating of any president in polls dating back 70 years, punctuated by questions about his competence on the world stage, his effectiveness, the GOP health care plan and Russia’s role in the 2016 election.

Just 36 percent of Americans polled in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll approve of Trump’s job performance, down 6 points from his 100-day mark, itself a low. The previous president closest to this level at or near six months was Gerald Ford, at 39 percent, in February 1975.

Polls are designed to shape public opinion, not to reflect it.

If all the fake polls were accurate, Hillary Clinton would be in the WH today enjoying orgasmic-high approval ratings.

Fake polls don’t tell you why Trump won and why he’s still standing.

Oh wait - that’s all Russia’s fault!

To paraphrase Will Rogers, there are lies, damned lies, and then there are ABC News/Washington Post polls.

“Just 36 percent of Americans polled in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll”

ABC News? Washington Post?

Don’t have to be merely sure, you can be absolutely certain.

Democrats have been in a “sustained hate campaign” against Republicans since Eisenhower was President.

Hate is all they have!

Sadly, they have been joined by LIEberals of all stripes and the entire Evil Inside the Evil Beltway establishment.

Gonna be a rough ride!

Nate Silver even RAISED his prediction 6 points after the first returns came in.

I listen to his podcast for yuks. I know. It’s sick.

No, no, no!! Some of the best entertainment is watching MSNBC Election Night. Brian Williams and Rachel Maddow are so warm and fuzzy as the evening begins. They switch to Nate who raises his projection from 72 to 78%.
Then an hour or so later he drops to 60%. Poor Rachel!!!

IF this approval poll is accurate, then why did CNN’s ratings recently collapse?

CNN was caught lying about the Russian ‘collision’ story. Two sources (a journalist standard) within CNN said that the Russian story is BS and a “nothing burger.” ABC and WaPo are essentially reporting the exact same thing as CNN is, wall to wall coverage of Russian ‘collution.’

Rush said last week that after 9 months, this is the last thing the MSM had to throw at Trump, a hyped story of allegations with anonymous sources. Given what happened to CNN, ABC/WaPo is trying to shape opinion with a fake poll. The people aint buying it!!

Polls tell the kooks what they want to hear.

As if it’ll stop Trump.

What is hilarious is going to twitter and looking at the lefties rip Trump’s tweet about the poll. I find new people to block. Plus it does show how pathetic they are....attack him for tweeting by...tweeting.
