How is a presidential approval poll conducted and have you participated?

I don't see how an accurate poll can be taken.

Please tell me how.

It can't because they are polling people that they know do not favor the president. The real news here is that his approval is actually going up and they are polling people that they know do not like him. The democratic party is committing suicide with this illegal alien shite.

Do you understand what a sample size is? Or how extrapolation of data works?

That's the point!

There is no way in hell they are reaching an accurate sample.

These polls seem made up.

Because the people doing the polling are accredited, bi partisan with a history of ethical polling.

Your turn.

Uhh. No?

You still never answered my question.

Do you know the difference between being correct, and being ethical? Do you even know the goal of a poll? Or how it's different than a vote?

This is just sad.

I have never been polled on Trump . I have only been polled by phone for the Florida senate race in 2016. And they told me what each candidate wanted to do . Everything About the Republican was him raising taxes and other BS stuff. They told me many things about how the democrat would give out money . I asked where that money was coming from and they said that the paperwork didn’t say . So I told them I would definitely not vote for a guy who only wants to give away money that likely would come from the tax payers including me .

Show me an accredited poll that had HRC with 100% chance of winning.

Don't worry. I'll wait.

Last "legit" poll I saw was about +10% Dem, poll taken in 5 swing states, 4 very blue states, and 0 solid red states

They are taken over and over and only publicized when the poll taker gets results they want.

We are well aware of what over sampling a certain party will get you.

Shitty poll results!

This should have many of the answers you are looking for. Of course, others may vary in their methodology.
