I never trusted polls and I question how they're conducted, in my book Trump gets a 100% approval rating.

It also demonstrates that the most informed adults weren't persuaded by the tale tales in Wolff's book, weren't moved by s-hole gate and didn't blame President Trump for the partial government shutdown. As indicated on Wednesday, Democrats actually suffered a 3.4% decline on the generic ballot week over week and were the ones who "lost" the shutdown in the eyes of Americans.

That's very interesting, but I'll give you an interpretation you won't like. I notice he doesn't say how or where he did his research, and I notice that nothing in the article actually gives any evidence of someone being well-informed. He provides no links to the original data.

So here is my guess. I'm guessing there is indeed a correlation between likely voters and Trump, because Trump was successful in getting people out to vote who don't usually vote, and unfortunately Democrats historically tend to be lax about going to the polls. So, that I'll believe. However, I won't believe - and he provides nothing to support his claim - that Trump supporters are better informed, because clearly they're not.

You'd think the left would be demagnetized from these polls that betrayed them and their Queen so badly. But instead, every time a new poll comes out reassuring them that most people hate Trump as much as they do they fly right into the light of the bug lamp.

It's Hillaryous!
Speaking of Hillary, 3 months ago WaPo published this:
12 months later, Trump would probably still win the 2016 election

And then there's California supposedly guiding the rest of the country on how to beat Trump:


Gotta give the people here credit for being so completely disconnected they actually believe CA is what all the other states aspire to be like. This great beacon of Marxism!

More than half of this state and 80% of the progressives running it are literally (clinically) insane.

No poltician deserves an A, ever!

I'll give Trump a
B on the economy
A on cutting regulations
C on foreign relations
C+ on keeping his promises (he certainly did surprisingly well with all the obstructionism from both sides)
A+ on pi$$ing off the hypocrits every chance he gets (doesn't count)


I'd say that's a solid B-/C+

Gotta be fun to be a liberal and live in your own little, delusional world. One where polls mater...but elections don't.
