    fake news, people are happy the economy is doing well despite Trump, but most people fear that Trump is setting us up for another recession\depression

    Keep in mind that it is likely a phone survey that doesn't reflect the opinions of many with jobs and successful lives. Actual approval can be much higher.

    Trump didn't build that - Trump is riding the Obama wave

    in fact, Trump is setting us up for anouther recession\depression

    if the economy is so great, why is the fed still having to prop it up with low interest rates and dumping billions into the economy

    and why is the debt setting record highs under Trump

    While Trump is trying to improve the lives of Americans, all the Dems can do is destroy. They destroyed the reputation of the FISA court, the significance of our presidential elections, and now cheapened the use of impeachment.

    As Victor Davis Hanson has said, the Dems ruin everything they touch.

    Sure. Maybe I'm wrong and the people conducting the polls really were dumb enough to think the popular vote mattered then.

    I'm surprised no one but me is perceptive enough to see that Schiff works for Trump. He is basically throwing the fight right now, just as master Trump has ordered. Schiff didn't get where he is by being stupid but has done so many stupid things during the congressional hearings that I call BS!

    Well yeah, of course. But if you were to poll 40% democrats, 35% independents, and 25% republicans, how do you think it's going to turn out?

    MSNBC, CNN, Hollywood, and your friends circle doesn't define "most people." Sorry.

    Please stop. As soon as Trump started getting the economy back up and moving, y'all told us he would be riding the obama economy for a year and then it would fail. When it didn't fail, y'all told us it was because he was still riding it and it wouldn't make it past year 2. When the economy kept growing and booming, y'all kept saying it was because of obama and now you still say it.

    Now another bold prediction... Trump will ride obama's wave until the economy crashes and then it'll be all Trump's fault.

    Sit back and listen to yourself FFS. It sounds ridiculous.

    The debt was already at record highs when Trump took over and when he shuts down the government like obama did, because he doesn't want the debt ceiling raised, the media runs 24 hour stories about the suffrage of government workers because of Trump. When he approves the debt ceiling increase, the left scream at the sky.

    And not to mention those that simply don’t want to admit it. It’s why Trump won in a EC landslide instead of Hillary.

    Lets just examine the largest polling organizations in the US, most of them averaged a mean absolute error of around 2.7% which is well within the MOE for political polling. Many of them were actually more accurate than they were in 2012 looking at overall aggregates.

    Here is a fairly unbiased article if you are interested: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/a...ls_that_missed_it_was_the_pundits_132333.html

    You are leaving out the other possibilities...

    1. That Schiff is being paid handsomely to do what he is doing by a group of Hollywood guys like DeNiro and Kimmel. After all, it is his district.

    2. That Schiff is mentally ill.

    3. That Schiff is working for Israel, the folks who really gave Wikileaks the Hillary Clinton e-mails.

    4. Or a partial combination of the above. Schiff made it a point to meet with Glenn Simpson in Aspen.

    Trump is currently consistently running at between 7 and 9 points above where he was in November of 2016 per Brad Parscale.

    Yes, that would be the proper thing to do. Trump is the best President we have had since Reagan.

    please stop, Trump is setting us up for a recession\depression, all one has to do is look at what the fed is doing to know the economy is in trouble -the fed does not have to dump billions into the economy and keep interest rates low during a great economy

    Trump shut down the government because he wanted more money than congress gave him, not because he wanted to spend less, be honest now

    the debt has never been as high as under Trump, Trump is setting new records every month - where is the tea party?
