NBC/WSJ Poll: In ‘Trump Counties,’ More Say U.S. Is Worse Off Than Better Off
NBC "News" ^ | November 7, 2017 | by CARRIE DANN

WASHINGTON — One year after Donald Trump’s shocking election upset, many Americans who live in the key counties that propelled him to victory remain unconvinced that the country is better off now that he’s in the White House, a new poll from NBC News and The Wall Street Journal shows.

The poll, which sampled residents of 438 counties that either flipped from voting Democratic in the 2012 presidential election to Republican in 2016, or saw a significant surge for Trump last year, found that a third — 32 percent — believe the country is better off now than it was before Trump became president.

If we’re not better off it’s only because of endless RINO and Deep State obstruction.

To the degree this isn’t fake, this is a comment on the ba$tards in the congress. They have fought the wall, they have unleashed investigations accusing Trump of being a Russian spy, they refused to change Obamacare, they refused to cut taxes.

Trump needs to hang it around their necks at every opportunity. This is it for the GOP.

Note also they polled the “counties” that supported Trump, not necessarily the Trump voters in those counties.

Of course any lib they poll is gonna say things are terrible.

Red Herring.

thanks.

438 counties and they asked:
800 adults.
658 registered voters

so less than 2 people per county ?

rock solid stuff right there. (s/off)

To me, it would be a more meaningful poll if they just polled repubs in those counties.

Add to that the non-stop, vicious attacks by the media and the anti-Trumpers.

It gets even better regarding the NBC WSJ poll linked above:

“Donald Trump’s chances of winning this election have faded,” says Democratic pollster Fred Yang of Hart Research Associates, which conducted this survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff and his firm Public Opinion Strategies.

“This poll is showing the writing on the wall,” Yang adds.

And the Republican McInturff observes that Trump “is in a weaker position than in September,” and that his numbers in the poll don’t align with anyone who has gone on to win a presidential election.

You’re right, as you say, to an extent. Our RINOs are SOBs, the problem is, they aren’t even our SOBs.
But the poll is still as fake as a smile from Hillary Clinton one year and one day ago.
Or for as long as my schadenfreude boner has lasted. She used to deflate me but now looking at Heilarry’s sorry face just makes it worse ....
