The media is obsessed with polls.
Kellyanne Conway - Trump whisperer was a respected pollster prior to shilling for Trump.

I guess Trump represents the media. He ends up being the centerpiece of media reports. The media is also obsessed with Trump.

Since you're implying polls are bad due to this line of reasoning, Trump is bad, too.

Again, your logic, not mine.

Reagan had an approval rating of 68% in his first year in office.

If you're going to add numbers to Trump then might as well add numbers to Reagan's. So that puts Reagan at 78%

The average of around 12 poles is 38.6%, are they all part of the conspiracy. This thread is a perfect example of why you cannot win with hardcore Trump supporters, they just do not like facts.

Anyone else willing to admit they stopped reading at that point? Perhaps I should have stopped even earlier?

This post literally made me laugh out loud. If you are just going to just make up numbers in your head, why stop at 10%? Just make up your own poll and add your own numbers. It will be just as ridiculous and invalid as deciding for yourself what the results should be.

That would be poll fraud, not to be confused with voter fraud.

You don't know squat about leadership. It sounds like you either were paddled (fear based leadership) or taken in by fundamentalist religion (same thing).

Let me try one or two on you.

IKE won WWII. He was a General. He was a Great Leader, one of the best in history.
He was POTUS for two terms. Do you think people liked him?
(Hint "I like IKE" was his campaign slogan).

Do you think people liked Teddy Roosevelt? Of course, they LOVED him and he was a great leader.

Trump is going to go down among the worst in History. The only question remaining is whether he will be in the bottom 10% or bottom 20%.

Trump is a fraud, a liar and a con man. He is perhaps the most despicable human being in public service today - and that is saying a LOT.

Isn't he the most DESPICABLE in public service EVER?????????????

Well, the most despicable that most living people are aware of....

As with anything else, there may be somewhere...someone worse.

But it's like saying "is there anyone worse than the Priest who took advantage of 14 children?"
(there is - the one that took more advantage of 28 children)...

That's the base. The good news is it is a dying demographic and they are well on the way to permanent minority status.
