1. Sure it is

Fake polls to appease president Krasnov.

I’m not clicking on the link to see the bogus poll numbers. They are as reliable as the sh!t spewed outta Krasnov’s ketchup hole.

[TheBlackAdder]

28. Is this the GIF you're looking for?

[lees1975]

32. It's polling again. Not consistent.

[WarGamer]

38. like those fake polls before the election showing Trump +1 and winning all 7 battleground States...

yeah they were BS.

[mr715]

39. Amazes me

How important the polls are, how stunningly scientific the methodologies, how valid and representative the sample when it tells you what you want to hear.

And how inherently flawed the scientific method is, how impossible it is to predict given expertise and data, how intractable the problem of predicting an outcome given only a probability - a snapshot, when it tells you what you don't want to hear.

Quantum political science.

2. You betcha!

[Rebl2]

3. I doubt

his approval rating is anywhere near 51%. I sometimes think they take these polls in deep red areas of the country.

[Nimble_Idea]

13. if not 51, then 49

it probably fluctuates.

[Onthefly]

34. Agree. It flatuates depending on which way the wind is blowing

So many rigged and dishonest ‘dear leader’ polls. We are have crossed into Kremlinesque dystopia.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

4. Yeah, uh, NO.

[MacKasey]

5. In my opinion , looking at the numbers they overly polled Republicans

There's no way he's at 51% approval,

[Celerity]

17. weighting and methodology

HOW THE POLL WAS CONDUCTED AND THEMARGIN OF ERROR CALCULATED

[Doodley]

25. Look at that! Even a majority under 30 approve.

[Celerity]

26. Gen Z and very late Millennial men are in the tank for Trump and the rest of MAGA/RW scum. Fucking Rogan is the chief

herder of them, plus vermin like Jordan Peterson, Cucker Tarlson, Tate, etc etc.

[Celerity]

31. more on the gender gap for 18-29 year olds (this time for their actual votes in the 2024 POTUS election)

AP Votecast (a massive, gold standard, 120,000+ sample exit poll) shows a frighteningly large (31 points) gender gap for 18-29 year olds in 2024, and comparing 2020 and 2024 there was a net 29 point swing in favour of Trump with 18-29 year old men.

2024

18-29 men went 56-42 for Tump (Trump +14)

2020

18-29 men went 56-41 for Biden (Trump -15)

Harris also did significantly worse with 18-29 women (granted still a net 31 points better than with 18-29 year old men in 2024, but in 2020 the 18-29 year old gender gap was only 17 points, with 18-29 men still supporting Biden by 15 points, just not at the +32 points level 18-29 year old woment did).

She did a net 15 points worse with 18-29 women in 2024 than Biden did with them in 2020.

2024

18-29 women went 58-41 for Harris (Harris +17)

2020

18-29 women wentt 65-33 for Biden (Biden +32)

AP Votecast's exit poll is far bigger, sample-wise, than the consortium used by some of the telly networks

46. Sweet Jesu that is ugly and disturbing.

It may be time to walk away after all. I can spend the last third of my life making a strong foothold in some other country for my daughter and granddaughter. They are what matters now.

[58Sunliner]

6. So CBS is a propaganda network now? Not buying those numbers.

[Silent Type]

7. Unfortunately, I think lots of people approve of trump's actions. This is not surprising to me, in my rube red area.

[mucifer]

8. Lots of people. being brainwashed.

[dalton99a]

9. Probably accurate. The backlash hasn't started yet.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. I'm Dubious

3 other polls came out this past week showing him underwater at 44% approval.
Then just days later he's at 51%. A 17% relative bump in a few days.
Here's one from 2 weeks ago that has the number at 45%

[Johonny]

20. I saw a harvard poll at 51 too

He is either a very unpopular president early in his term or a nose diving president about to become obsolete.

The town halls suggest 51 percent is a touch high. Those town halls aren't filled with liberals and moderates.

[ProfessorGAC]

23. In Addition...

...even the 51% seems low for someone who just won 120 days ago.
49.5% of voters actually filled the oval for him.
So, I'd expect that to be the floor.
Biden was at 55% at the same time, per Statista.

[W_HAMILTON]

18. Tell that to all the Republicans getting run out of their town halls.

[Phoenix61]

11. I read the questions and have no idea how the answers

translate to an overall approval of 51%.

[defacto7]

12. No way.

Just wait, though. It will be impossible for any polling to cover up the backlash of the people when the truth hits home.

[hlthe2b]

14. Thank you, MSM--leaving Americans irreparably IGNORANT...

Yeah, I know... Social media is the major player in this, but...

[Doodley]

21. That is exactly right. Most people have no idea of what is going on.

[gab13by13]

16. The real number is closer to 44, and I don't do polls.

Was the poll taken in Russia?

[krawhitham]

19. So a 4 point swing in 3 weeks

[Doodley]

22. Takes a long time to kill a monster.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. So he's at 51-49

Let's see what happens when inflation fails to abate, GDP turns negative, and the layoffs begin. Two points isn't much of a cushion.

[berkerly6240]

27. Why trust polls no matter what the outcome?

They seemed to be all over the place on the election etc.

[republianmushroom]

29. Bullshit !

[pattyloutwo]

30. Unbelievable

How bad do things need to be for the brainwashed to question this path of destruction?

[Wingus Dingus]

33. Nah.

[Mountainguy]

35. They haven't started feeling the pain yet

but it'll come.


Let's ask Trump voting federal workers who got fired in the past month what their approvals are.

[kimbutgar]

36. I'd be curious to see the number of repukes and democrats that were polled was it evenly split or more repuke polled ?

Cause this poll sounds like major BS!

[WarGamer]

37. He won the election... people knew what they were getting.

That's reality.

If we want to win again... EVER... we have to sell something better.

That's reality.

[Mad_Machine76]

41. But like what?

Decency, intelligence, sanity. Nobody seems to want those things anymore. Too many Americans have been brainwashed into bigotry and lunacy as long as it seems like POTUS is "doing something"- never mind that all or most of the stuff is being illegally or inappropriately in terms of how the government is SUPPOSED to operate and it's being done out of retribution and callousness and hate. I guess it will take a LOT more actual pain and suffering for more people to finally comprehend their folly- until "they" becomes "me" I guess?

[WarGamer]

43. Gotta go hard populist... progressive populism.

Imagine "America First" but with the goal being to empower and improve the lives of ordinary Americans instead of billionaires and Corporations.

Run on expanding Social Security benefits... "30% by 2030"

Talk about an American "Dividend", a reward for winning WW2 and 75 years of being the world's greatest military and economic superpower.

Go for universal healthcare, or at minimum expand ObamaCare.

Small things win over people. Expand ObamaCare to cover dental work for adults including implants and such things.

And throw all the neocons to the curb. Liz Cheney and her like COST us votes in 24.

[JI7]

48. This is BS since they are fine with Musk

[Mad_Machine76]

40. No effin' way

But maybe the backlash just isn't here yet.

[LymphocyteLover]

45. I would bet this is about CBS softening up King Moron over not settling the

60 Minutes lawsuit ( not paying him off)

[JI7]

47. Wasn't it CBS that came out with a similar poll

while a bunch of others showed lower numbers.

I don't think he is as unpopular as he should be . But I question these numbers.
