Trump and the Latest Polls: Summertime Blues or More Fake News?
American Thinker ^ | 06/20/2019 | By Brian C. Joondeph

Recent polls show President Donald Trump in big trouble, likely to lose in a landslide to many of the 20-plus Democrat contenders. Once again, the media tell their dwindling audience how "the walls are closing in" on Trump and how no one likes him.

Should Trump-supporters be worried? Or is this just the latest edition of the Fake News Gazette, courtesy of the Trump-loathing media?

A June 11 Quinnipiac University poll, a year and a half before the election, shows that it's all over for Trump. He might as well be preparing his Trump Tower apartment for his return in January of 2021.

Joe Biden beats Trump 53-40. Bernie Sanders is a little closer but easily wins, 51-42. Kamala Harris prevails 49-41. Pocahontas Elizabeth Warren defeats Trump 49-42. Mayor Pete has a 47-42 edge, and even Spartacus Cory Booker ekes out a 47-42 win over the incumbent president.

Quinnipiac pollsters conclude, "It's a long 17 months to Election Day, but Joe Biden is ahead by landslide proportions."

A Fox News poll released June 16 reveals similar results, with Biden beating Trump by 10 points and Sanders ahead of Trump by 9 points. Fox News acknowledged that four years ago, "[i]n June 2015, Democrat Hillary Clinton was ahead of Trump by 17 points." We all know how that turned out.

Bill Clinton's campaign manager, James Carville, coined the phrase "it's the economy, stupid" as a way of defining the 1992 presidential election. Bill Clinton was running against President George H.W. Bush, who failed to read his own lips and raised taxes, creating a recession that Clinton capitalized on.

Could the same fate await President Trump?

If Trump's polling numbers were good, would the MSM even tell you?

That's all you need to hear right there.

Were this a year from now, I might be worried, or a little concerned.

Now, they are meaningless. Best indicator, crowd sizes and enthusiasm. That says more than anything.

Pro-Trump folks are afraid (or indifferent) to talk to pollsters. The other side hasn’t been hammered in the press (by Trump, because the media won’t), nor any bright lights shone upon them.

As always, keep an eye on the independent vote, because they will be key.

Free Republic’s $heet spreaders/posters, hired by ABCNNBCBS, are busy spreading their daily 24/7 anti President Trump fake news and fake Poll stuff!

Some are professional manure spreaders with hi tech gear!

Thanks to RedMonqey for the above jpg.

Don't think it's either fear...media and their polling arm allies have been exposed as propagandist for progressives/globalists. More like contempt and anger, IMO, maybe expressed by outward indifference.

Polls released between now and about April of next year are totally worthless due to political flux. Don’t waste your time.

The REAL POLL isn’t for 17 months.

Polling was useless last election.

These PUSH polls are meant to make the news that EVERY Democrat can beat Trump. EXCEPT, I guess Shaky Hillary.

Whenever they call, I tell them to go fuck themselves and hang up.

Yes. They do call.
