So the new ABC/WP poll has Trump with his highest approval rating to date at 44%. But look at the methodology. It was a random sample of just over 1,000 nationwide. So after 2016 we should ask.
Who were these people
Where do they live
What is their ethnic mix
What are their ages
Are they likely to vote
All good questions but also look at the party identification of those polled.
29% Democrat
23% Republican
37% independent
Why that sampling? So with a 3.8% plus or minus, Trump could be at 48% approval. Polling can be skewed to get the results you want. Could it be that like 2016, when Trump supporters hang up? Also how are the questions worded that are asked?
Pollster: Do you agree with 50% of the US that Trump is an embarrassment to the country and has racist tendencies?
Or you could have the pollster ask: What is your opinion of President Trump with the economy doing so well?
See the difference?
So even with the polling skewed Trump is closing in on 50%.
Nice try media and pollsters. You will again be clueless on Election Day. Stay in your bubble. You’re safe there.
