What is up with these polls? 2 polls this week showed him at 34 and 37%. Today an NBC poll puts him back up 43%?


It's ridiculous how many horrible, criminal things he can do and nobody cares.

1. I just remember what Cohen stated . . .

t-rump paid for polling tampering. Also, this is WSJ - Murdoch's paper.

7. Why Does NBC Associate Itself With Murdoch?.....nt

2. Every news story should caveat their

report on poll numbers with the fact that Trump's team manipulated prior poll reports.

10. From the article:

Unlike some other national polls, the NBC/WSJ survey did not show a decline in Trump's overall approval rating. That assessment, buoyed by majority support for his handling of the economy, remained unchanged from December: 43 percent approve, 54 percent disapprove.

4. Also today, Morning Consult has him at 37%

NBC is an outlier

6. Called only landlines? What locations were polled? Kansas and Alabama?

8. If a terrorist allowed a pizza delivery for his hostages, his approval rating would go up.

9. drumpf's base and supporters are just plain old dumb and stupid

and will flip on and off like a light switch.

12. I used to love when the polls came out, anticipating them falling. For

the last year I have ignored them. I no longer believe them. This poll in particular can't possibly be correct IMO, if the ones in the 30's from last week were somewhat correct. It's been 48 hrs. and a weekend. Idk I guess I'm jaded as far as the media goes lately.

13. Outlier

He's 34-39 percent in recent polls by NPR/Marist, ABC/WP, AP, Quinnipiac...

[mucifer]

14. That was done before he lost the wall battle. But, it's still insane.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. Seems a bit high. Not worth freaking out over

16. There is also a good portion of Americans who are not even paying attention..... at all. I still

think when Mueller lowers the boom the country will listen and it will bleed through.

If the OJ verdict turns out to be a bigger event I will go ballistic.

[Wounded Bear]

17. He gets a bump for "opening" the government, I guess...

When his approval hits 50% on anything but Rassmussen, get back to me.

Other than that, no reason to hit:

18. That's in line with other NBC News/Wall St. Jrnl results:
