PRESIDENT TRUMP.

No matter what the polls say. Get used to it for the next 4 years. Bottom line.

I was answering the posters question


Yeah, with a twist. He referred to Trump being elected. Being elected has nothing to do with the popular vote. Again, you just threw that in there as a zinger.

Also, your poll you cited interviewed 1,190 people registered. An average of 24 people per state. Don't try to act like that is some overwhelming mandate.

Sure. Those electoral & state polls were spot on.


Not sure what an electoral poll is but state polls have smaller samples and are done by smaller companies and usually are less reliable. This is not news.

Some state polls missed this one. No doubt. Completely ignoring future polls because of a few misses is just stupid.

I don't even see the point of having an approval rating a week into a President's term. He just won a national election. His approval rating is yes at this point.

Most of the general polls were using 2012 turnout as a benchmark, which a lot of people knew was BS. They were not in the same ballpark as the actual turnout. The Michigan primary polls were not even in the same county.

And I happily voted for him. I'm just not going to turn my brain off for the next 4 years and pretend everything he says or does is great, attack every criticism, and pretend like he's not a seriously flawed person.

Second, "bigly" is relative.

Considering he absolutely decimated HRC, I'm justified in using the word bigly.

Thanks for your effort though.

Given the error-filled status of our electoral registries, I am amazed you'd be audacious enough to bring that up.

Michigan: 10,704 votes.
Wisconsin: 22,177 votes.
Pennsylvania: 70,638 votes.

100% FALSE !

Up until 10-15 yrs ago a poll oversampling one group 10 points while undersampling another by the same margin would never have been considered valid, valuable or worthy of MSM coverage.

POTUS approval ratings do tend to influence Congress' willingness to advance his agenda


Then why didn't Obama get more of what he wanted?

Modeling changes constantly. That's obvious. The genius I was responding too thought these were online polls.
