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.

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.

What we learned in 2016 is that these polling companies were manipulating the samples to push the narrative that they wanted, one even going so far as to change the sample methodology mid-election because the results no longer matched the narrative.

If you haven’t noticed, he is doing both. His job and beating back the false narratives. You need to keep up and oh, I don’t think Trump is losing any sleep over the level of respect you have for him.
I don’t mind the statistics,
Trump is treated as Lincoln was, with daily threats of murder and intense hatred. This treatment is for much the same reason. Trump, like Lincoln, saw the terrible dividion in the country and sought ways to heal it. He was not, however, willing to sacrifice the nation itself in the effort. The opposition to his administration led to succession and war. Let us pray leftists lose the heart for murder before they bring on an armageddon.
Amen to that!
If you want to know for sure that the poles are wrong just look back at the election. Hillary was +4% but in reality she was -3%.
It is the same now, poling to get a message across. BS as usual.
