And Trump doesn't around Mar-A-Lago. Instead he has armed body guards. Guess he doesn't believe a wall works.

No walls on any of his Golf Courses or properties. Heck, that might stop his illegal labor force!

Breitbart? The leader in fake news and hysteria propaganda? It's more of a comic than a news source.

It is a Washington Post/ABC news poll. Breitbart reported. the MSM media ignored the results of the poll.

the OP is right. Support for the wall has increased from last year, according to the abc/wapo poll.

Instead of hurling insults and discounting the source, open your mind.....there are many interesting news sources outside your bubble.

Increased by how much? Over 70% still don't want the wall so your "increase" doesn't mean squat. I love how you guys cherry pick data to suit your narrative. You need to face the fact that a MAJORITY of Americans do not want this wall and it's not improving.

most polls are ran by the media or friends of the media, a poll can be made to read whatever they want and in the past couple years they have been made to read to hate trump. In my area, in the deep south away from any large west coast cities, I really cant find anybody that hate trumps. not one. On the subject of him being an a-hole, yes we knew that before he got elected, thats why we elected him. rather have a crook in office that we know is a crook. Than a politician that claim he working for the people when in reality he working to pad his trust and claim he not a crook

Support for border wall Soars among Swing Voters.....Likewise, now 67 to 87 percent of Republican voters and conservatives support building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. Democrat voters have not increased their opposition to the wall over the last year by even one percent.
Doesn't much matter what the support is.

The President won on a promise to build The Wall. And I think he's gonna build it.

Pure hypocrisy.
You would not support The Wall no matter what the finances were. Why not just say that?

But I will point you to Trumps approval, disapproval. Make of it what you will - but this not some "guess" like yours, it's the results of hundreds of polls all put together.

30% plus more Americans are against him than approve of him. THINK - why would that be is they all wanted the Wall? If what you said had any truth to it. his approval ratings would be soaring and would be larger than his disapproval.

Worst in history - that disapproval spread. That means something.
Like I said, I don’t trust polls. Time and time again, they are wrong.

Do you trust science? Math? Roads and maps???

There is a margin of error in polls, but when you do a "poll of polls" that gets smaller and smaller. A few years back 538 got 100% of the predictions correct. Of course, you'd never expect that (given normal margins of error), but it still is impressive.

Overnight Trump lost a lot more! Now he is at 14.3% difference, WAY up.....

Hey, no one can force another to believe - reality - but yet there it it. That's a snapshot in time that goes against any theories that "voters are jumping to trump"...
