President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday tweeted that approval rating polls are rigged against him, as a series of polls show him with historically low approval as he enters office.

"The same people who did the phony election polls, and were so wrong, are now doing approval rating polls. They are rigged just like before," Trump wrote.

[Snip]

A CNN/ORC poll released Tuesday morning showed Trump with 40 percent approval - six points lower than it was after Election Day, and lower than the last three presidents.

An ABC News/Washington Post poll also released Tuesday found just 40 percent respondents approved of how Trump has handled his presidential transition, and 54 percent viewed him unfavorable.

The Donald is wrong ... we all know that the idiot media would never lie.

[pinkandgreenmom]

And anyone who thinks Obama has approval ratings near 70 percent is just as dumb.

[Puppage]

Never before in our country's history has an incoming president been treated so viciously. Absolutely disgusting.

HOW I LOATHE THE LEFT.

[jmaroneps37]

It is amazing how idiot Brain Kilmeade moans over Trump’s low approval numbers. Does this fool not remember wiikileaks proved the polls are rigged?

[xzins]

Trump is correct. The polling industry is a mind-manipulation memory.

They are pure propaganda.

Interviews with 1, 000 adult Americans conducted by telephone by ORC International on January 12-15, 2017. The margin of sampling error for results based on the total sample is plus or minus 3 percentage points.

This sample includes 500 interviews among landline respondents and 500 interviews among cell phone respondents.

Don't trust a poll of "adults."

Polls of "adults" include illegal aliens, permanent resident aliens, and others who may not have voted.

Polls like this will not match the actual recent election because only citizens presumably voted, but a poll of "adults" can include anyone.

Trump knows the crooked MSM better than they know themselves

[OpusatFR]

Everyone is supposed to revert to headbanging status and believe polling done by ideologues who couldn’t predict the election, Brexit or anything else?

the LSM is breathtakingly laughable at this point. Somebody needs to adjust the journos meds.

[Political Junkie Too]

The word "vote" appears nowhere in the poll. This means that they didn't even try to separate out actual voters from the total polled "adult" population.

This poll is worthless as a comparison to sentiments expressed in the November election, if only the opinions of citizens matter.

As he attempts to right America, end political correctness and regain our international honor, Trump's numbers are going to go down.
Best to just ignore them and go full speed ahead.

At times, Kilmeade is a giant douche.

[WNC mountainboy]

Maybe its time for our own Conservative News Media and not FOX. They have a few great ones like Hannity but also a few not so good.

[Alberta's Child]

I'd have far more respect for Trump if he just did his job without any regard for these stupid polls.

Didn't he learn last November how useless polls are?

[Lazamataz]

We know, Don.

We know.

(By the way, the last few polls they offered us... they don’t even publish the internals any more.)

This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by landline and cellular telephone Jan. 12-15, 2017, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 1,005 adults. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points, including the design effect. Partisan divisions are 31-23-37 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents.

again, exactly the breakdowns seen in the last general election....dolts !

[Sasparilla]

With all the character assassination and hit pieces on Trump, anything anti-Trump is possible and probable.

[Lurkinanloomin]

President Trump,

Stop paying attention to the Ministry of Propaganda’s phony polls.

We have your back.

Signed,

The Citizens

[Jay Thomas]

Sure he knows. He’s just reminding everyone else. The sleepy public is to quick to revert to old habits; trusting the MSM being one of them.

[dp0622]

Who gives a flying ***. somebody get back to me with numbers in 1400 days.

[Rockitz]

Here’s hoping his advisers can convince him that these are fake polls too.
