Gee glad we are being kept up to date on the polls the dems are enjoying posting. Some of us have more important things to do than pay attention to polls that mean nothing at this stage of the game.
They mean a heck of a lot. They influence what political leaders do and they give us an idea of which way the winds are blowing heading into the midterm elections.
At this rate soon only 1/3 of the country, the lowest in history (well, it already beats that for a modern POTUS) will "approve" of the 5th grader.
I wonder, at that point, if this tiny minority will still think they are the "right" ones and that 2/3 of the country and 95% of the rest of the world is wrong.
The popular vote margin in the key states that Trump won (78,000 cumulative in the four key states of Oh, MI, PA, and WI) was within the polls' margins of error.
Nope, "the Polls'" had Clinton up over 4 points in Wisky & Penn and outside the margin of error. Every poll had Clinton winning the EC by a huge margin, is that what happened on election day?
The unemployment rate was about where it us now under Obama as well...it has been on a downward trajectory since we turned the corner in 2010 on the worst financial crisis we have had since the great depression...and the crisis commenced with the economic crash of 2008 which occurred during the last Tim the GOP was in power.
Where in the world are Trump supporters getting the idea that he us somehow solely responsible for the current state of the economy when every strong metric regarding the economy significantly predates his time in office? Do they honestly believe that there was some huge economic turnaround when he was elected?
Actually they do! They fully believe the our economy was in ruins until January 2017 and then all of a sudden it was fantastic when Trump was sworn in. Comical isn't it.

Actually, you are cherry picking. As you can see from my original link, I only look at Nate because they use all the polls together plus some fancy math.
He had Hillary as an easy win (90%, but even that allows plenty of other chances) UNTIL the Comey letter, at which it headed down and was something like 68% by election day. Also, he had Hillary winning the voting totals.
All in all he was very close.....you can't put stock in polling from any single source and you sure can't when an october surprise happened.
No one is perfect, but 538 had gotten almost 100% of the Senate Elections correct in former years.
Yes, things can fall outside the odds, but give credit where it is due. As we stand right now, the 538 stuff is likely close. That's not saying where it will be on election day.

They also believed the ONE single issue was balancing the budget. That one went under the bus instantly.
In short, they love to "forget" what they ran on....preferring to just obtain power by hook or by crook and then do exactly as they please.
Yep, we've all been had. The booming economy, record low unemployment, record consumer confidence, high GDP, businesses prospering, job growth .... all these things must be figments of our imagination.
The country is in better shape than it's been in years and the lefties just want to tear it down in favor of socialism, open borders, illegal aliens, high taxes, and big government control over everything. Tell me how that benefits anyone?
If the left come up with something better, I'll listen, but to date your incessant daily whining is just annoying. If you think you're proving a point, you are sadly mistaken.
Positives in.life are occuring for those mentioned above. Trump Business buddies who once again demonstrated there is no such thing as " trickle down"
How about we try "trickle up"?
Give the wage earner back his wages and we will choose which businesses , stay in business.
Give the wage earner back his wages and we will take care of out of control medical costs within the year.
To be fair, everyone pays 10 percent flat federal and 10 percent flat state taxes....and we will eventually create a country with the most wealthy populus in the world.
A brave candidate who d do this , would really drain the swamp.
They would get every single wage earners vote.
Hands down!!!
