Consider that most of the pro Trump folks would have been watching Hannity on Fox, so the CNN poll participants would not be predisposed to make such a result
Would be interesting to have results of the exact same poll AFTER CNN and every other MSM outlet repeatedly broadcast the Hillary talking points about the speech (”Dark”, fearmongering, etc.)
Those poll results just likely motivated the CNN panel to work even harder to convince those polled that they should be feeling mean and evil.
“...24 percent said the speech had a negative effect.
“...would move the country in the right direction, with only 24 percent saying otherwise.”
So now we have evidence that there’s a hardcore 24% who are leftists that truly hate America.
That 24% negative response is likely the closest accurate representation of support for this administration and its progressive policies.
I love trump’s speech. It was one of the best ever. He did take a decidedly different tone, more solid and forceful and to the point. But I found it extremely uplifting. I feel like I live in 1984 when I watch the mainstream media tell me what to think of what I saw with my very own eyes.
Trump’s number one vision for America should not be the question of national security but should be JOBS, JOBS, JOBS. Those who have never been unemployed do not comprehend the devastation that joblessness brings to a family, like the breakup of marriages and the many suicides that occur among the unemployed. Many who are unemployed feel that they are isolated from and rejected by the very society that they were once part of. The depressed fear death by ISIS less than having to spend another day at home sending out resumes that will not be answered when, during these trying times, most employers place newspaper ads with the intention to go resume fishing without the intention of hiring.
"He who made us would have been a pitiful bungler, if he had made the rules of our moral conduct a matter of science. For one man of science, there are thousands who are not. What would have become of them? Man was destined for society. His morality, therefore, was to be formed to this object. He was endowed with a sense of right and wrong merely relative to this. This sense is as much a part of his nature, as the sense of hearing, seeing, feeling; it is the true foundation of morality... The moral sense, or conscience, is as much a part of man as his leg or arm. It is given to all human beings in a stronger or weaker degree, as force of members is given them in a greater or less degree. It may be strengthened by exercise, as may any particular limb of the body. This sense is submitted indeed in some degree to the guidance of reason; but it is a small stock which is required for this: even a less one than what we call Common sense. State a moral case to a ploughman and a professor. The former will decide it as well, and often better than the latter, because he has not been led astray by artificial rules." --Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr, 1787. ME 6:257, Papers 12:15
Does anybody have a link to this data on a CNN site. I looked and cannot find the data.
They forgot res gestae testimony carries lots of weight. It is the utterances made immediately after something has happened and it is ruled as truth.
But but but, the speech was so DARK DARK DARK.....
Woulda loved to join the other flys on the wall watching the panic in Crooked Hillary’s war room as they absorbed those poll numbers.
My head spun around and nearly fell off when the results came in. CNN coverage after the speech:
Hispanic chick was screaming, apoplectic, what a white supremacist speech, a slap in the face to all good Hispanic immigrants!!!! I didn’t know what she was even talking about. Trump was all about ALL AMERICANS.
Van Jones was saying it sounded like someone rising to power in Germany in the 1930s. Not sure whom he meant.
And of course all on the panel of like 19 people had received the memo with the Secret Word that pays $20k cash at the end of the night to all talking heads using it: DARK. Yes, I was in heaven hearing Trump speaking to us, saying he would be working for us, saying he will not lie to us. But they on CNN said the speech was dark and negative.
So when their poll results came out, they needed Wolfie to come on first, and to carefully tell us in his most serious scruffy voice, “REMEMBER. We only polled people who ACTUALLY WATCHED THE SPEECH. Thus this will favor the right wing racist radicals. This poll in now way reflects the real American people, who are liberal in nature.” And then showed how most people loved it overwhelmingly, and many improved their opinion of Trump after reading it.
Then they went back to calling him a racist bigot with a dark, dark speech.
