(7,430 posts)So much so that it's fair to question the validity of the CNN poll itself. I wonder about how it's happened that the perennially accurate exit polling during elections have, since 2000, been rendered "inaccurate" by the vote tallies.
Were I to write a mystery tale about politics, I'd want to use an expanding effort for those in political and economic power to control and alter not only the voting apparatus, but the public polling apparatus as well. If the GOP can hack CNN polling results to skew public perception of Trumpy's approval ratings AND they can also control the vote tallies, then the end game has been reached and Potemkin Politics rules all of messaging and election results. Perhaps there's a reason that the GOP is so slow to address the integrity of the voting process, from the no-paper-trail machines to the computer programming for calculating a virtually nondetectable skewing of the numbers. Personally, that's enough fantasy to wake me up at 3am.
In other words, it's nearly impossible to believe the jump in approval ratings is a true reflection of the US citizens' overall perception. There are no previous events that could cause the jump.
