Polls are manipulated to promote an agenda.

That same "poll" says about 70% don't want a wall and want the illegals to stay.

It's a poll done by a very left leaning site so of course everything the left promotes is supported by a "majority of Americans".

I take polls with a grain of salt these days..just another piece of propaganda for the uninformed masses.

There is some outfit that calls me once a month to answer their issue of the month survey. I lie.

Dude, that doesn't matter bro.

Your belief that a person in an office is just as likely to take a phone survey call as a person on the couch watching Judge Judy doesn't actually surprise me.

You wouldn't even think it would be necessary to bring it up at this point, but then again, some people, despite their IQ just seem slower than others!

You are exactly right! https://www.usnews.com/news/the-repo...gly-inaccurate

I do wonder if Obamaphones were issued and those listings (which one must agree to having their numbers sold if they accept the phone) in order to use them for polling, that's about how pathetic the results have looked over the last 18 months anyway. We don't answer unfamiliar numbers, google them and report them since we are on the no-call list.

I do believe that behind the scenes, it is more than the liberals/Dems feeding the media. I think the extreme religious right want to see Pence in power to move their agenda forward. I think the public is really being manipulated and this false polling is only a part of it.

Then here are some facts for you, Kitty. Donald Trump has been involved in over 3500 court cases in his life, an unprecedented number for a president. Hell, it's an excellent record for a retired trial attorney. He was accused by the Justice Department of violations of the Fair Housing Act for racism when choosing tenants for his rental properties way back in 1973. NYC then filed a lawsuit against Trump for more rental violations.

Trump was sued by a businessman for defamation of character (imagine that). He filed bankruptcy three times. He has been sued for sexual harassment, and his ex-wife even accused him of rape. He was also sued by the German state attorney for accounting fraud. He has been sued by Deutsche Bank for failure to repay a $640 million loan he promised, and been sued for unpaid legal fees. There have been thousands of other lawsuits besides ranging from tax evasion, failure to pay employees for services rendered, sexual harassment, securities fraud, loan nonpayment, etc. . . I could go on, but it would fill a book. Oh, and where's the $1 million he promised to the victims of Hurricane Harvey?

This is the character of the man you are such a cheerleader for. That says as much about you as it does about Trump.

Nearly half of Americans believe President Trump likely committed a crime related to Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, according to a new poll published Thursday.

Of the 49% of Americans that think Trump likely acted illegally, 30% hold the belief on suspicion alone while 19% think there's already solid evidence to back it up
So what? Half of America thought Obama was born in Kenya. Should we have impeached Obama based on polls?

Hmmm?

Half of the country can barely get out of bed and run their own lives !

Trump did come through with the money for Harvey.

I agree. And I think it's being done by both parties because Trump is an outsider and he's rocking both of their boats.

DC is a "closed club" and they don't want any outsiders knowing their secrets.

Trump is not part of their club. He's not a career politician.

They are all squirming..both D's and R's and I'm certainly enjoying the show watching them make fools of themselves.
