Two new polls, taken before President Donald Trump launched airstrikes on Syria Friday night, spell bad news for Trump and his political party. Both polls released Sunday morning show that Trump's approval rating is still below 40 percent.

A new ABC News/Washington Post poll shows that Trump's 38% average approval rating at 15 months on the job is the lowest on record in polls that date back to the administration of President Harry Truman.

The same poll also shows that 56% of Americans disapprove of the President's job performance, while 40% approve. Those who strongly disapprove of Trump outnumber those who strongly approve by nearly 2 to 1.

***WARNING***

CNN (Counterfeit News Network) – 1st Place in Trump's 2017 First Annual Fake News Winners AKA Biggest Liars of the Lying Leftist Media with FOUR entries in the top ten

Don’t believe these Lying Leftist Media outlets that proved themselves during the 2016 campaign to be operatives of the DNC and intentional liars. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.

Why not post the TRUTH about the lies? You don't have to use the liar as the source to post a headline that alerts readers to a published lie. Use yourself as the source or a reasonably reliable source that addresses what the Lying Leftist source is saying. That way you have a headline and a source that your readers can reasonably rely on and they go away more informed about the lie AND the truth.

If this story is true and has some redeeming value, at least get the story from a reasonably reliable source, not from a known Lying Leftist operative posing as a “news” organization. You’ve done the Patriotic Right a service. Much better than the mindless repetition of lying sources and their lying headlines.

If we’re told a lie, don’t repeat it. Neutralize the lie by speaking the truth. Lies aren’t defeated by repeating the lie. Lies are defeated by repeating the truth. We should have our eyes on the prize - in this case, politically, what it takes to recover our Free Constitutional Republic. That should be what we major on and focus on.

IMO, if a poster can't be bothered to do that, then they shouldn't post. If they're going to be bothered to post, do it right. We're on a mission here.

Thanks for the heads-up warning about CNN.

I did make the key point in my post 1 (and in the title), that this was not a poll of registered voters, but poll of “adults”, which could have included illegal aliens.

I think we all need to be aware of what is published in the MSM, precisely so we can refute it and put them in perspective, when talking to others, who may take such things as facts.

I'm guessing this poll was taken on CNNs second floor by the same pollster who said there was an 88% chance of Hillary winning!!!

Rasmussen still shows Trump at 50% approval and 49% disapproval.

Why on earth would someone feel it necessary to respond to or try to dissect or analyze an ABC/Washington Post poll?

From the article:

“The same poll also shows that 56% of Americans disapprove of the President’s job performance,”

“Americans” = NOT “voters only”.
