Due to the skew of the Lamestream Blamestream Fakestream Mainstream media, academia etc., you can just go ahead and add 10 points to Trump on any given day.
Lol, wrong again. To gather TV ratings, they study what Americans' TVs are turned to, channel wise. In other words, hard data.
As I explained earlier, an actual poll would be them calling everyone up and just asking what they watch.
Don't see how can can't grasp this-- cute little web links aside.
Lol.
I've participated in TV and radio ratings. The "Nielsen Ratings" are considered the gold standard in the broadcast industry.
They send you a "log book" to record what you watch/listen to and they send you constant reminders to return it on time.
"Nielsen television ratings are gathered in one of two ways:
Viewer "diaries", in which a target audience self-records its viewing or listening habits. By targeting various demographics, the assembled statistical models provide a rendering of the audiences of any given show, network, and programming hour.
A more technologically sophisticated system uses Set Meters, which are small devices connected to televisions in selected homes. These devices gather the viewing habits of the home and transmit the information nightly to Nielsen through a "Home Unit" connected to a phone line. The technology-based home unit system is meant to allow market researchers to study television viewing habits on a minute to minute basis, recording the moment viewers change channels or turn off their television set. In addition to set meters, individual viewer reporting devices, such as people meters, have allowed the company to separate household viewing information into various demographic groups."
Sounds like you're jealous of people with money, and in any case, I never remember Trump ever trying to convince me to vote Democrat, or give my money away.
Nothing of the sort. I just wanted to point out the irony of you bashing someone as a “limousine liberal†while staunchly supporting someone who was a “limousine liberal†until only very recently when it became politically expedient to suddenly switch sides.

I refer you to my earlier response where I touched on how I sure never heard DJT encourage me (or anybody) to vote Democrat or tell me what to do with my money or vote before he was President, like all of Hollywood/MSM does now. Trump wasn't nearly the same thing Maddow or Bill Maher is, not even close.
And I guarantee you he was a fiscal conservative since the beginning.

This is exactly what I've been saying.
Ratings are different than polls. Polls are where they call you or you click online. TV ratings "know" what channels are turned to how many TVs, per your example up there.
And CNN's ratings are horrible (rightfully so); that's all I was saying.
It is so shocking to me that a proportion of citizens in the United States of America are so blind to the evil that Donald Trump is inflicting on our country and its citizens!
what evil? The guy is a moron but the country is doing well under him
