    These are opinion polls, not predictive (not that the Trumpers admit or know the difference).
    Even Rasmussen polls Trump as a ****.

    President Trump Job Approval Economist/YouGov Approve 43, Disapprove 54 Disapprove +11
    President Trump Job Approval Reuters/Ipsos Approve 39, Disapprove 56 Disapprove +17
    President Trump Job Approval Politico/Morning Consult Approve 40, Disapprove 55 Disapprove +15
    President Trump Job Approval Gallup Approve 37, Disapprove 59 Disapprove +22
    President Trump Job Approval Rasmussen Reports Approve 43, Disapprove 56 Disapprove +13

    +

    Are these the same pollsters whose polls predicted a Hillary win by 5 or more percentage points?

    Polling has shown itself to be mercurial - sometimes right, sometimes wrong and rarely accurate.

    The facts are that pollsters can't reach most conservative voters who are working or otherwise involved in living their lives to answer the phone to someone they don't know and probably don't want to speak to. A report from Pew Research, one of the nation’s most reputable pollsters, showed a stable 9 percent response rate over the past 5 or 6 years, compared to nearly 40 percent in the late 1990s. That's 91 out of 100 phones that aren't answered.

    What frightens me is I never realized before that roughly 1/3 of our population was made up of deplorables.

    I agree - of LEGAL residents:
    1. About 32% are 24 or under
    2. About 40% are 25 thru 54
    3. About 28% are 55 and over

    This means the vast majority of 55 and over and a majority of those from about 45 thru 54 would make up that 1/3rd of the population who support President Trump. The remaining 605 to 65% would account for the young and immature, the illiterate who follow the fake news and the criminal minded.

    the polls predicted Hillary would receive more votes. guess what, Hillary received almost 3 million more votes that trump did.

    Polls are extremely accurate.

    Wait until the Congressional investigations really start and trump starts going nuts. Its going to be so much fun to watch. They're already making arrangements for greasy trump jr to come in and explain his perjury. I can't wait until he gets indicted...epic.

    Half of America has been doing that since early 2016.

    That's why the polls said Hillary would win in a landslide.

    Nobody not even the pollsters saw the TDS coming.

    No need to answer you, since you don't know the dif between a predictive poll and an opinion poll.

    The polls did not say that. What they predicted and what actually transpired in terms of votes was actually quite close.

    Trump doesn't talk about polls very much any more. Does he know his approval is supposed to be higher than is disapproval?

    He isn't capable of handling any truth about what he is. He'll just make something up to distract from reality.

    Don Jr. and Jared are next to be indicted. They are into what Roger Stone is charged with, and they're in neck-deep. Likely they directed Stone.

    There's going to be another big issue coming up too. The issue with Jared getting a security clearance was already being investigated...now they've gone and fired the woman that initially turned down his clearance. Her boss...some patsy traitor that trump appointed, granted the clearance to Jared and 30 others. She's worked at the FBI for 18 years....and she's under multiple protected statuses because she has a handicap (dwarfism), is female...and is also protected under the whistle-blower law. And she covered her bases by moving the data around so they couldn't just delete it from her system. She's smart, a patriot and she basically has them f'ed. Expect her to show up soon in the media and in front of a Congressional investigation panel. Planting someone to grant FBI clearances to compromised people and then firing the person who brought the treason to light, was NOT a good idea.

    Its unreal what this pack of moron criminal traitors think they can get away with.

    What frightens me is the number of totalitarian fascists that dominate the New Democratic Party.

    Wow! 56% disapproval on Rasmussen! That is Trump favorite poll. Only 43% approve. Double wow. That has consistently been around 48.

    Well, he really made an a$$ fo himself today.

    Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump

    ....a source of potential danger and conflict. They are testing Rockets (last week) and more, and are coming very close to the edge. There economy is now crashing, which is the only thing holding them back. Be careful of Iran. Perhaps Intelligence should go back to school!

    5:56 AM - Jan 30, 2019

    After telling his appointees, his intelligence chiefs, they all have to return to school, on Thursday, Trump would not specifically say if he still has confidence in Coats and Haspel but made it clear that he has disagreed with his senior intelligence officials on "certain things" and "time will prove me right, probably." Probably?

    Later, he made a complete fool of himself.

    "They said they were totally misquoted and totally taken out of context," Trump said when asked by CNN if he raised the testimony with Coats and Haspel during his daily briefing on Thursday.

    "They said it was fake news," Trump said.

    Following that incomprehensible statement, Trump tweeted, "Just concluded a great meeting with my Intel team in the Oval Office who told me that what they said on Tuesday at the Senate Hearing was mischaracterized by the media - and we are very much in agreement on Iran, ISIS, North Korea, etc. Their testimony was distorted [by the] press."

    This bald faced lie is a consequence of the fact that Trump is so uninformed that he does not know the statements from Coats, Wray, and Haspel were on camera testimony before a Senate committee. The whole nation has seen the televised Senate testimony, but not Trump.

    This is nothing short of incredible. Trump is a buffoon, a national security threat begging to be removed from power. Nobody could be that stupid. I am further convinced he wants to be impeached. He will be the star in a great melodrama and it matters little to him that he will be the antagonist.
