us that "Trump's approval is higher than ever".
This is based on ONE GALLUP POLL. Gallup is, I believe, a "B" rated poll and this one is dated AND was "weighted" or skewed by surveying substantially more Republicans than Democrats. The last 538 number I recall had Trump's approval at 43.5 and another poll that came out the same day as the Gallup (sorry, don't recall which) had it as 39!
One has to ask WHY the people who aided and abetted Trump's 2016 election theft are shaving facts for him AGAIN.

(23,097 posts)drumpf is chaos and chaos drives ratings, so they pump him up. They want a neck to neck race and will do everything humanly possible to skew things so that happens. Plus the newspapers are owned by rich folks who do advertising for other rich folks and that's where they make most of their money, so again they have a strong bias to call it 50/50 - even when it's not that. Notice how they all talk about nullifying the votes of 63 million folks.. Why doesn't even one of them mention the 69 million people who didn't want orange assmouth squatting in the office. I never heard one mention of us.

CNN's own poll showed IMPOTUS at 40% but they ignored that for the Gallup poll.
They want a horse race. They learned nothing from 2016.
