Never thought I would say this, but I agree. Pence would be a disaster for LGBT equality but overall our country would be better off under him than Trump. At least Pence has the temperament to handle the job and doesn't have the kind of ego Trump does. He also seems to have decent respect for free speech, given his reaction to the Hamilton incident. I admire that.
when will we learn? Polls are useless - especially the one cited that doesnt break down the samples. it says 85% of republican approve. and 85% of Democrats disapprove. in teh absence of actual numbers I would guess that in order to get an approval rating in the 30's they oversampled democrats by a very wide margin.
They did list the number of people polled. If you take the percentages who approve and who disapprove, it's not too hard to figure out how many people. But, why are the percentages not adequate?
It's not like they polled the whole country. They polled just over 1000. Which is, by the way, an adequate sample size.

The one thing about this poll that's for certain is that Twitler's gonna tweet about it. FAKE NEWS! Unfair! Biased Media!
of course it's fake. You guys know it. These types of polls are incredibly inaccurate. Were respondants from blue or red states? Were they women or men? young or old? -- this poll tells us NOTHING.

actually 1000 people is NOT adequate. Sorry I win - my education was steeped in stats.

I don't need a poll to know that there are plenty of people unhappy with Trump.
I mean, I have eyes and I can see. There are people all over the world who think he's an utter moron.
I realize that some voters might find that pleasing, but I am going to hazard a guess that those people are in the minority.
Truth is, if Trump doesn't get us nuked, most of his more "rabid" fans are gonna die out during this term or the next. He's mostly fueled by old/older people who think things were great in the 1940s and 50s back when they didn't need an education to get a decent job.
The majority of people from Gen X forward do not share that sentiment and tend not to be so determined to MAWA.
If you catch my drift.

1000 people is plenty adequate for a political poll. Sorry, I win. So was mine.
And it extended beyond 12th grade.
