20% of the media licks tRump's boots and refuses to report his many daily foul-ups. Matter of fact, they slag all over the legitimate press for covering reality.

Just stay tuned to Fox News, Infowars, Breitbart, National Enquirer and hate radio to get the tRump-friendly non-news.

Trumplings will be much happier that way.

Fox New goes after trump and calls him out. It's all the other morons on Fox(opinion shows) that lick trumps shoes.

not yet in the numbers. his RCP comfort zone seems to be 42.2-45.2 . if he consistently polls under 42.2 i'll see it as a downward trend.

Ditto. Funny how that works.

Okay, so about 90% of what you're exposed to is biased. Some is really bad, some not.

Like Jim Acosta?

Lol, I'm not a Sean Hannity fanboy but he is by far the #1 in the ratings in that time slot. Fox news is by far #1. CNN literally has less viewers primetime than the ID and Hallmark Channels. MSNBC is only slightly better, ratings wise.

So it would appear more people than not disagree with you view of what reality is.

The non-opinion news on Fox I find to be the least biased out of all of it.

But even on said opinions shows, most of what they do is just call out the bs from the MSM, the stuff you're brainwashed by.

And Trumplings constantly bellow, "We don't believe the polls!"

Again, based on your opinion.

As a retired steelworker I can tell you this. It was the racism that Trump was and is selling. Obama was wrong when he was in Pa. talking about clinging to guns and religion. For the most part, they cling to guns and racism. I worked with them for 35 years.

Let's look at NC District 9 special election last night. The Democrat McCreedy was widely believed to be the eventual winner of this election. They poured millions into the attempt to win it. The local teevee was nothing but adverts for McCreedy. Haven't seen anything like it since Hillary tried the same thing.

Then..............

Trump and Pence come to NC Monday. Pence the VP drew bigger crowds than Joe Biden. Trump's rally was massive as usual.

Democrats lost another one they badly wanted to win. This in a district that was court ordered to be redrawn in 2016 to make it easier for them to win.

Very very bad for Democrats. Very very good for Trump.






This is the real popularity and approval rating. Real America. Not the fake one made up by the pollsters.

It was disgruntled Bernie supporters who put Trump in the WH and no pollster could see that coming. I hope they`re proud of themselves.

Trump won the White House because he beat Hillary Clinton. It's not the fault of the voters.
