I think the reason there are so many trump ads on the internet asking if you approve of him

The people who are running his campaign aren’t interested in the truth, they want to be able to show him his approval rating is going up. So they manufacture all sorts “polls” till they can find a demographic that will give him what he wants; approval. It’s not like he’s going to change in anyway so if they want to keep their jobs they have to twist and bend over backwards to get the right answer.

The yes answers are followed up with data requests. It is a sneaky way to collect data from potentially new trump voters and contributors. I don’t know how effective it is.
