Quinnipiac University National Poll ^ | 09/30/2019

[reasonisfaith]

These polls are always fake, and Freepers know it.

[Mariner]

Meanwhile, a real poll shows 48% approve of POTUS.

Higher than Obama at this stage of his presidency.

“You mean when a poll shows Trump at 47% and Freepers know the reality is 57%?”

Yup. But if you read those poll threads LOL, it’s comedy gold because I read those Freepers after the prez election actually post they dont believe in polls.

[familyop]

They didn’t get the result they wanted before, so they skewed the next survey even more.

[1Old Pro]

as predicted, the corrupt media needs more lies to work their narrative

[conservativepoet]

You mean like Hillary’s win?

[romanesq]

Utter nonsense, which is, of course, the plan all along.

[Pearls Before Swine]

There you have it. I’ll just have to get my mind right and go along with the purported crowd. Impeach him! Burn him!

It used to be that manipulation by poll was more subtle... 5 or 10% here, 5 or 10% there, and one is supposed to say, “Why bother?” But lately, the trumpeting of poll results is just so much blather designed to confuse and manipulate. Is anyone still paying attention?

[TLI]

according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University Poll released today

Ought to read (we-are-quacks).

.

[Tallguy]

There’s that Quinnipiac “special sauce” that they put on every poll that they perform.

[Pajamajan]

😱. Here come the "Polls".

[Sarah Barracuda]

If Dems want to impeach Trump SO badly they should have the vote today, see how it goes..they wont since they dont have the votes and they know it

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Do a poll only of people who know who CrowdStrike is, knows who Barisma Holdings is, and can site the Constitutional standard for impeachment.

[jmaroneps37]

Duh I believe in Q polls and duh I think it’s proof the rat should go for it and impeach.

[Political Junkie Too]

The headline is misleading. This poll shows:

• Independents do NOT support impeachment...
• ...but they narrowly support an impeachment inquiry.
• Independents don't think that what Trump did rises to the level of impeachment.
• Independents disapprove of Nancy Pelosi more than Donald Trump.

Poll breakdown:

• D: 33
• R: 29
• I: 30

A D+4 poll with a large Independent component.

On Impeachment

4. Do you think that President Trump should be impeached and removed from office, or don't you think so?

	Dem %	Ind %	Rep %
Yes / Impeached	90	42	7
No	5	50	92

13. If think Trump should not be impeached and removed, do you feel that way mainly because you don't think it's been shown that he did anything serious enough to impeach him, or mainly because impeaching him would be too disruptive to our nation?

	Dem %	Ind %	Rep %
Not Serious Enough		58	73
Too Disruptive		16	6

NOTE: Independents do not support impeachment because they don't think the charges rise to the level.

11. As you may know, the House of Representatives has begun a formal impeachment inquiry to determine whether or not to bring impeachment charges against President Trump. Do you approve or disapprove of this impeachment inquiry?

	Dem %	Ind %	Rep %
Approve	95	50	8
Disapprove	4	45	91

12. Do you think members of Congress who support impeaching President Trump are doing so more on the basis of the facts of the case, or more on the basis of partisan politics?

	Dem %	Ind %	Rep %
Facts	67	37	4
Partisan Politics	25	55	91

NOTE: Independents in this poll believe that partisan politics is behind impeachment (by +18), but narrowly support it anyway (by +5).

8. Would you say that Donald Trump is honest, or not?

	Dem %	Ind %	Rep %

9. Do you think that President Trump believes he is above the law, or not?

	Dem %	Ind %	Rep %
Yes, above the law	91	59	15
No	7	38	83

NOTE: Independents are still tracking with Democrats.

I'll stop here. There are more questions that track the same way, suggesting that again, Quinnipiac is salting the Independents with Democrats. Despite that, there are some disagreements regarding the House leadership and actions.

Fake poll indeed. From the article:

Today, voters disapprove of the way President Trump is handling his job 53 - 41 percent. This compares to last week’s approval rating, in which they disapproved 55 - 40 percent.

The author tries deliberately hard to bury the fact that Trump’s approval rating is up. A reader really has to sift through that verbiage to see it.

[cowboyusa]

National poll. Lets see swing district and swing state polls.

[LeonardFMason]

Keep polling till you get a result you like.

[bert]

Of course

There are more of them than there are of us

Hilary won the popular vote

(you can rationalize it ain’t so till hell freezes over but it will still be true)

[ScottfromNJ]

“closing a 20 point gap from less than a week ago”

Give a polling group a few days to alter the poll’s wording a bit and you’ll be amazed at the new results you get.
