    That's funny. When has President Trump promised to secure the border and failed to do so ?? When has President Trump promised to cut spending and failed to do so ??

    No it's on you to be intellectually honest with yourself.

    I didn't post the article. But the quotes remain meaningless.

    If you click on the Brietbart link, the poll is linked in the first sentence. From there, you will get the WHOLE picture, not just what Brietbart wants to take from it...

    Obama ok’d many miles of walls and it was ok.

    Trump wants to do the same and there are a million phony reasons coming from the left not to do it, such as: “It’s not who we are as a nation”.

    The fact is that support for the wall is growing. The rest of your “whole story” is meaningless.

    Your opinion is noted. And my opinion is that you read what you want from a document and ignore those things you don't like from the same document. Either that, or you didn't click on the poll you referenced - you simply let Brietbart draw your conclusions for you.

    Ladies and gentlemen here is a prime example of the Trumpers I was speaking of. Now this poll shows their God in a negative light and it's fake news or a lying poll, but had this poll had his approval numbers in a positive light he would have been all over it.

    The only fact that is important is that support for the wall is increasing. It is meaningless whether some blame Trump for the shutdown or whether some consider the southern border a crisis, emergency, or problem.

    I said the liberal pollsters are liars and they are

    Whether this particular poll is totally a lie or only slightly in the red I cant say

    But it does not matter because trump is not and should not be driven by polls

    We are not a direct democracy

    And the changes are within the margin of error and therefore not significant.

    Once his term or terms is over, the astute people will judge as to his creds. What he wanted over what he was able to get. Only people who dislike him or hate him would predict the unpredictable future as you have done. ha ha.

    I find him very credible, although a ego driven liar. He is the greatest...ever, Or so he says. And he is only doing what politicians do, which is to lie. But your attention parameter is just limited, by your emotions controlling your intellect, IMO,

    Always add at least 10 points to all of Trump's polling numbers to adjust for polling bias and the "polling blind spot". :)

    “Trump’s job approval among Latino adults was 50 percent in the new poll. [adjust to 60% for improved accuracy]


    (Image: screenshot)

    This was a marked increase from the last poll in early December in which Latino adults gave the president a 31 percent approval rating and comes as Trump has had to face a steady stream of criticism from Democrats over funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border which has precipitated a 4-week partial government shutdown.


    (Image: screenshot)

    While any increase is notable in itself, the 19-point shift is remarkable even as Trump faced a seven point drop with Republicans in the same time period. Latino approval numbers have shown a steady increase over the last polls, but none with the variance the latest surveys indicated.”
    NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist, Poll shows seismic shift among Latino voters since shutdown – they like Trump even MORE now

    If you want to cherry pick your statistics to support your argument, have at it. And if you want to see the wall as the only issue at hand right now, again, have at it. I tend to look at the entire picture, but we are all entitled to our views. Enjoy yours.

    Professional pollsters know how to skew results by configuration of the questions asked.

    There is no cherry picking. Support for the wall is growing. That’s the take away. If you want to discuss something else start a thread.
