About that border crisis poll that shows Obama more trusted than the GOP…

[E. Pluribus Unum]

While Americans are not happy with the president’s approach to the border crisis, this poll suggests that the public is even less happy with Republicans and want the GOP to pass the president’s $3.7 billion supplemental package to deal with the situation on the southern border immediately.

I call BS.

[BreezyDog]

I call BS.

I second that...

[Politicalkiddo]

It strains credulity, at best.

Polls that try to make the equivalence of congress’ disapproval to Obamas are useless.....congress is made up of people from varying degrees of political beliefs.... Obama is one man. Congress has never had high marks but they keep on getting elected.

A majority, 53 percent, support Obama’s proposed emergency spending package billed as being designed to “provide care for these children while their deportation cases are heard” and “speed their deportation hearings and to increase border security.”

Did the question inform the respondents that there is a backlog of 350,000 cases, and that these deportation hearings will be one to two, or even more years in the future, and that 90% never show up for the hearings and the feds make no effort to find those who do not show?

Everything about the government's immigration policies, and the reporting and polling about immigration is little more than a coordinated strategy of lies and deceptions aimed at the American public.

Always ask yourself:

Who paid for the survey
Who wrote the survey

It tells you everything you need to know

[dowcaet]

Phony poll. Another attempt by the Dems and their media allies to goad the GOPe into backing this supplemental package thereby pissing off the conservative base and keeping them home in November. Desperation time for the left. This writer is delusional if he thinks there’s a majority of Americans who want to throw $3.5 billion away on a bunch of illegals when we can’t take care of our Vets.

3,700 million dollar budget for a bandaid.

Let’s spend 40 million for a gourmet meal and first class flight back to Central America. Crisis over saving 98% of that budget.

Why this pollster decided to gauge the nation’s opinion of how congressional Republicans have handled this situation, I have no idea. Beyond the fact that it serves to conveniently remind the public that the GOP is, as ever, more unpopular than Obama – a refrain you will hear for the rest of the day.

So unpopular they have to lose the House and Senate in November. How else to interpret those numbers (which must be correct if the Post did them)?

[skeeter]

Die, news media scum.

[RWGinger]

I think the way MSM is covering this is responsible for the opinion of so many low information idiots out there.
For instance last night on ABC nightly news there was not one second devoted to this crisis. NOT ONE.
In many people’s minds, especially those not yet affected this story is over

[Oak Grove]

Not true.

This poll is a lie — another media lie to support Obama.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The WAPO and ABC? LOL! Aren’t they propaganda tentacles of the DNC?

[kabar]

Just another poll to put more pressure on the House to pass Obama’s request.

[skinkinthegrass]

the Soap Opera(s) continues.🎭

[IronJack]

Let’s see here ... 58 percent disapprove, but we’re supposed to hand odumbo $38 extra large? This is what passes for logic on the Left.
