The gallop poll was middle of last month !!!


I'm soooooooooooo fuckin sick of lazy asses in the us M$M !!!


This looks like a push


Relatively speaking Trump is not getting an impeachment bump that Clinton got

[kimbutgar]

1. It was so obvious they released this poll for the state of the union speech

So that rooster had something to crow about.

[uponit7771]

6. Yes ... wtf is up with Gallup !?! I thought they were more non partisan than this

[gab13by13]

14. 15 years ago Gallup was respectable,

but it got caught using bogus data in the 2008 primary/election. Gallup lost its respectability 15 years ago.

I get tired of posting this but polls are used for propaganda. I doubt that Trump's popularity is 40%. I laugh when polls come out.

[crickets]

17. +1

[NJCher]

19. plus I think Gallup is out of Omaha

And you know who else is located there. Think election machines.

[uponit7771]

22. +1, Fauk News gives Red Don a 10 - 20% float

[gab13by13]

32. Ask me a question about Janis Joplin,

my long term memory is better.

It had to do with a trend, I can't remember what the trend was but it was consistently falling 2% in each of the last several elections. Gallup not only didn't follow the trend it went the other way which skewed their prediction toward McCain, I believe.

Whatever it was, Gallup did the opposite of what was trending.

[Wellstone ruled]

29. Thank you for your truth full

response. The Media Whores love these false Narrative pieces of Propaganda. And yes they had some respectability pre 2000,and even in that time frame,they tended to script their Polling Q&A in a very conservative manner.

As one team lead said,remember who's paying the freight.

[ismnotwasm]

2. Thank you

[NewJeffCT]

3. The Gallup poll also

sampled way too many Republicans

Easy to skew the results - I remember CNN doing it after the Biden/Ryan debate in 2012 - they sampled way more Republicans than Democrats and it came out as 50-50, a tie.

[Maraya1969]

9. That is not a real poll then! That is just a manipulation of numbers.

[lagomorph777]

18. Yup - thanks to another DUer we have the numbers.

https://democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=12948326

He's under-performing even among Russiapublican voters.
Repubs are 54% of the sample, but only 49% of the sample approve.

"Results are based on telephone interviews conducted January 16-29, 2020 with a random sample of –1,033—
adults, ages 18+, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. For results based on this sample of
national adults, the margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
For results based on the sample of -- 946 -- registered voters, the margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage
points at the 95% confidence level.
For results based on the sample of -- 443 -- Democrats and Democratic leaning independents, the margin of
sampling error is ±6 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
For results based on the sample of -- 527 -- Republicans and Republican leaning independents, the margin of
sampling error is ±5 percentage points at the 95% confidence levell".

30. Gallup tends to skew to the right rather than the left.

I’ve heard that same assessment for years by now.

[spanone]

4. but, but, but....it was all over the news that his ratings were up the day of his SOTU

the media will elect this dictator again

[mcar]

5. On CNN this morning,

the anchor just casually said "his approval is at 49" without qualifying that one poll.

They are back into horse race mode.

[CrispyQ]

8. Maybe when he shuts CNN down they will realize they should have been true journalists.

I don't understand a media that enables a dictator-type who has expressed his disdain for the free press. Are their corporate masters also suffering from "it can't happen here?"

[Bradical79]

43. And CNN has their own poll that contradicts Gallup

CNN is 43-53 from around the same time period. It's bad when they won't even cite their own poll in favor of the outlier.

[OliverQ]

7. He should be in the low 30s. That's what upsets me.

He should be no where near that 50% mark. He's a monster.

[maxrandb]

11. When the economy tanks... and it will, he won't be able to get to 20% approval

Democrats need to wrench the Obama economy back from these fucksticks.

Obama had this economy soaring without 5 TRILLION IN DEBT being left to our great-great grandchildren.

[uponit7771]

24. Fauk news gives Trump a 10 - 20 point approval float

[titaniumsalute]

10. The Ipsos poll today had 42% approve and 54% disapprove

12. Polls do not matter

Getting people to the polls does.

No point in looking at these. No matter what they say we need to get out and vote. Not only ourselves but we each need to bring 10 people who would not otherwise vote.

[leftieNanner]

13. THANK YOU!

I ignore polls. The only one that counts is the one on the first Tuesday in November.

[gab13by13]

15. Ditto,

I doubt that Trump's favorability is 40%. See my above post concerning Gallup. It is not a respected poll any longer.

[NoMoreRepugs]

26. Not disagreeing...just a thought.

Maybe polls do matter because in todays social media driven world so many people count on being able to read about what the “majority” opinion is or how like minded thinkers are leaning to make up their minds versus doing their own thinking??

[MoonlitKnight]

38. Republicans turn out no matter the polls

Democrats and independents turn out if they feel like they have to. A lot of people thought Hillary had it in the bag and didn’t bother. In Red states they figure why bother - then when they see they have a shot we see Colorado go blue. Virginia went blue. Arizona, Georgia and Texas are on the way. Mississippi and Alabama could actually be competitive if we could register and turn out all of the people who feel it is hopeless.

[lagomorph777]

16. Thanks for that. Scab-burrow was crowing about it this morning.

That was just before his daily assault on Democratic candidates' health care proposals (M$NBC has got to keep all their insurance company advertisers happy!).

[Brainfodder]

20. If the MSM was saying he's doomed in November....

We'd be happy, but then who would keep watching?

This is all about keeping people unsure and watching for the ratings and ad revenue.

Unless there is a major fix in, blob should have no chance in hell of winning re-election, the reason.... he has no gains over time in support, only losses?

There are so many ways to attack him in ad buys this should be a funny campaign ad season.

I watch so little TV though, I will be looking for them here!

/cheers!



SOTU was just to keep his dummies happy and in line?

[BlueIdaho]

31. M$M needs a horse race

They need to sell some expensive ad space.

[johnnyplankton]

21. Actually they are going up...

Per 538: On January 11 Approval was 41.8, Disapproval 53.5

On February 4 Approval was 43.4, Disapproval 52.1

This is not good....

[uponit7771]

25. That's noise within a band not an uptick

[gab13by13]

33. When I get called to respond to a poll,

I may consider that poll legitimate. I haven't been called in 55 years.

Polls are for propaganda, including 538.

[rockfordfile]

23. They tried this in 2018.

[underthematrix]

27. I told you folks this was a PSYOP

How do we help DUers NOT post psyop pieces?

[uponit7771]

28. I'm thinking this push includes some

[Srkdqltr]

34. Folks .. news people.. will go after the most interesting.

Right or wrong say something interesting and it will be printed and reported. Hillery did not say much that was reported. She wasn't on TV enough. A candidate has to be on network TV. Talk shows. Has to be seen by more than people who can come to rallies. Trump knows that and uses it to his advantage. The person who runs against him will have to do way more and make printable remarks. Talk to anyone and everyone.

[uponit7771]

41. Some are just plane lazy and wont do a bit of background on data, they report what their peers

... report and there's a terrible sense of mind meld among them.

[Fla Dem]

35. Media: what story can we over exaggerate today?

[Catherine Vincent]

36. I heard this morning on CNN it was 49%

[uponit7771]

40. Gallops 20% republican over sampled and 3 week old poll is 49%, the rest of the polling is low 40s

... and more up to date.

Why 538 is including Gallup is stupid seeing it so old

[KPN]

37. Yay! You just made my day by posting this.

When I saw that 49% report late last night or in the wee hours this morning (can’t remember which) it made me pretty glum. I was starting to lose my faith in mankind. Those fuckers we’re trying to do exactly that ... stage last night’s spectacle then dash their enemies’ hopes. Fucking bastards.

We are their enemy which makes them ours and we’re coming after them!

[dchill]

39. Media are ALWAYS going to try...

...to make it a horse race. Always. Chris Matthews gets that.

[BobTheSubgenius]

42. How can his numbers POSSIBLY be that high?

I'm constantly amazed they are even in double digits.

[uponit7771]

44. Fauk News gives him a 10 - 20% float
