Watch any cable or network news station or read the newspaper, and you will be told that President Trump is unpopular. That Americans don't like him.
The Washington Post proclaims that "Trump is historically unpopular." Predicting big trouble ahead for Republicans, the Post tells readers, "There's never been a president who was as deeply unpopular for as long as he has been at this stage of his presidency."
Newsweek goes further with its headline: "Trump's 2018 approval ratings show he's the most unpopular president in history and failing at his job."
The Washington Examiner, not a far-left publication but firmly in the NeverTrump camp, asks, "So why is Trump still the most unpopular first-term president?"
You get the point. These articles were all written last month, in the wake of a historic tax cut, with millions of Americans gaining bonuses and a fatter paycheck, plus a stock market hitting record highs despite a recent and necessary correction.
Yet the media smart set is quite certain that America hates President Trump. Why? Opinion polls. You know the names. Quinnipiac, Ipsos, Rasmussen, CNN, Fox News, and others.
Remember these same polls about 15 months ago? The ones that predicted with 95-plus-percent certainty that Hillary Clinton would win the election? Even on election day?
Across the pond, the Independent, three days before the election, gleefully pronounced, "Hillary Clinton has 'more than 99% chance' of winning election over Donald Trump." How did that turn out?
Why should we believe these polls now? Certainly not the wildly inaccurate ones.

Over the years I’ve found people that firmly believe if the media prints it or speaks it it has to be the truth.
How were the other votes cast? By absentee ballots that were already filled out and returned on the first day?
In November 2010, when the Republicans gained seats during Obama's first term, Obama was in the 44-46% range. Which is where he also was in November 2014, when Republicans also did very well.
BTW, Obama's approval rating was 50% in November 2012 when he was re-elected.
All the above ratings from the Rasmussen site.
We all need to do our part.
Yesterday I went into my bank. There has been a fair amount of turnover in the tellers and they told me another one was leaving. I asked if she had gotten a better job and the answer was “yes”.
I told them that management needed to think about their pay, and they all agreed. I told them to say: “Thank you President Trump.”
Talk up our President every day. Tell people to be thankful for the great job he is doing.
