It's Not Just Trump: Poll Says His Cabinet and Other Republican .....
News/week ^ | March 20, 2017 | Jason Le Miere

Donald Trump has set record low approval ratings at this early stage of his presidency. But in the White House and the Republican leadership, Trump is far from alone in his unpopularity, a poll conducted by the Saint Leo University Polling Institute earlier this month has indicated.

Liberals are finding their Obama cronyism, their liberal views against their country etc.. are not to their liking...schools/teachers have been put on notice "they have to teach"; trade will be fair to America scaring the wheee out of foreign companies who have been making big bucks off our NAFTA rules etc.; Our allies stepping up to the plate with their fair share for NATO and the United Nations; foreigners visiting will be vetted as never before; lapsed visas will not be tolerated no matter who you are; sending $$$$ to nations who don't like us will be curtailed; our military allowed to collapse under Obama, will be rebuilt as well as our infrastructure. None of this makes the left happy...they liked the Socialism we were headed for...Libs like big government, they want single payer medicine i.e., government run...which Obama almost had until it crumbled under its own weight of bureaucracy and expense.

Frankly I would give President Trump and his cabinet an A+ mainly for getting the job done while working under hostile fire.

Don’t post this crap from Newsweek (notorious fake news) which is a gross outlier which predicted Hillary would win by 30-40%. Probably polled 80% Democrat and minorities.

Does anybody who subscribes to Gallup have any info on the internals? I tried to check but Gallup wants me to sign up to see the poll.

St. Leo University? Is that the place that’s run by “The Church of the Gooey Death, Baptismal Carwash, and Discount House of Sin?”

Repeat after me. "Don’t believe the Lying Leftist Media. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying."

I trust Newsweek as far as I can throw it. We should find and post reliable sources that have already deconstructed the lie and replaced it with the truth and with a headline that says the truth. The key is the headline and the first few sentences because not everyone has time to drill down. The endless stream of negative, lying headlines can be demoralizing and sabotages our purpose IMO.

So the MSM attack him with hostile and hateful news reports and then say he has record low ratings?? Bizarre.

These numbers are rigged.

You know why there's a big discrepancy between Gallup and Rasmussen? Because Rasmussen polls likely voters, while Gallup polls "adults". That's right, not likely votes or even registered voters, just "adults". Seems legit.

Furthermore, Gallup gave Trump the exact same 37% rating in October 2016 too. Literally a couple of weeks before he won.

It floors me that the Left and the media, after failing so spectacularly with this just a few months ago, are already right back to their "muh polls say!" nonsense.

After the fiasco of their election polls, I don’t know how they expect anyone to believe any poll results they present.

Newsweek was revealed as a fake news producer all the way back in 2005, when they gave us the false story about a Koran getting flushed down a toilet (as if a government-mandated low-water-using toilet could really do that!). Aside from their magazine going out of business, I don’t think anything has changed since then.

We are in a cold civil war. My wife is exposed to a lot of MSM, while I’m exposed to almost none of it. She says that her perception from the news is that Trump is an unpopular goofball that is like Bozo the clown trying to be president and it’s only a matter of time before a sane world gets rid of him.

I find it downright comical. I say that because she also is exposed to conservative news, as are a LOT of people today, thanks to the internet, and that story is only playing to the far left that only expose their lunacy when they act out on their falsely supported hubris.

OF COURSE he has a low approval rating! People who are in danger of going to prison are hardly going to approve of Trump putting them there.

I’d be more concerned if his approval rating were too high.

The percentage who disapprove gives us a good idea of exactly how big the swamp is.

The louder you protest, the more likely you are to be part of the swamp. The most hysterical among them are up to their ears in dirty money and pedophilia.

I earned my undergrad from that school. Don’t know that it was run by the mafia when I went there... had some pretty hard core priests and nuns though for sure. Might as well have been the mafia by those standards I guess.

Does anyone remember a poll about a president’s cabinet? I didn’t think so. Given the increasingly terrible performance of polls before elections here and overseas, WHY WOULD ANYONE BELIEVE ANY POLL no matter what it says?

His Cabinet? LOL. 75% of Americans can’t even name more than one or two members of his Cabinet. And the GOP Congress hasn’t done anything yet. We’re two months into his term for Pete’s sake. Definitely more fake news.
