Saw where Trump's approval rating was around 40% while BO's was near 80 prior to his inauguration, even GeeDub's was way higher. I guess not many like him. Looks like it's all downhill from here for our ethically challenged prez elect.

He does have a favorable house and senate to work with, But I don't think they like him much either.

I think he does but there's no one person that he can throw a mean tweet at over it.
I think since running for election, he has pushed his ego (which has already overtaken his brain) into a place where he believes anything out of the media is a lie.

Donnie will always have that 36% of idiot Americans no matter what he does. It's not about the United Sates to them. It's about open hatred, racism and jealousy. I truly believe that.:americanflag:

Who cares what his approval rating is? The fact of the matter is that in a few days he will be the next POTUS. I don't believe they are going to stop his inauguration because his approval is around 40%.

The point is that Trump will never have high approval ratings. The only approval numbers that matter are known as "electoral college votes".

I disagree. Mid-term elections are often shaped by the approval ratings of the sitting president. Of course, I don't know where the approval ratings come from, I know nobody has ever polled me.

The media has destroyed its own credibility so now they can say nothing without being suspect. They broke their own rules.

We have a baseline to compare. It will be interesting to see how the numbers now compare to the numbers a year from now.
LOL. At what point will you idiots realize that these polls say what the client wants them to say.

They probably asked the same liberals that said Hillary would win. Looks like quite a few of them approve of Trump!

What will come from a comparison? President Obama is well liked and Trump is not. The only approval event that will mean anything will happen in 2020.

Just 16 days prior to the election an ABC/Wapo poll showed a 12-point lead for Hillary, a result that obviously turned out to be embarrassingly wrong for the pollsters.

She did win the popular vote no? And in those last 16 days her numbers plummeted after the email investigation opened back up. I think the polls did fairly well, the poll aggregaters and EC predictors are the ones that got embarrassed.

ABC/Washington Post and CNN are out with a pair of polls on Trump's favor-ability this morning.
The ABC/Wapo poll showed an 8-point sampling margin for Democrats with only 23% of the results taken from Republicans while the CNN poll showed a similar 8-point advantage for Democrats with only 24% of respondents identifying as Republicans

Plus a lot of people were actually too embarrassed to admit they were voting for Trump

He had 46.8% of the vote, and his approval rating is 40%. That's a story in itself.

Both recent polls were so biased so as to produce more fake news. In BOTH only 23/24 % of those poled were Republicans. This is FACT and makes these poles totally worthless and meaningless.

So, the conclusion MUST be that the polls were rigged and, therefore, TOTALLY meaningless and absolutely irrelevant. They accomplish what the dishonest media want--get people to only look at the headlines, have other news media repeat the headlines and, thus, leave the impression they intend even though it is accomplished with misleading and truly false information. SO many are so easily led and misled that it is truly frightening. They want to believe that the public that so overwhelmingly voted Trump into office are turning against him before he takes office. Unfortunately for these easily misled souls that is far from the truth and the polls from the Clinton New Network (CNN) and ABC spread falsehoods as the only way they can combat the facts that they so dearly dislike.

Are you a statistician or have done polling professionally? I'm sorry that you don't like the polls' findings.

Here is methodology from the Washington Post/ABC News poll: What would you have changed?
METHODOLOGY – This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by landline and cellular telephone Jan. 12-15, 2017, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 1,005 adults. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points, including the design effect. Partisan divisions are 31-23-37 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents.
The survey was produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates of New York, N.Y., with sampling, data collection and tabulation by Abt-SRBI of New York, N.Y. See details on the survey’s methodology here.
Analysis by Gary Langer.

A pool is only as good as the population polled. If you skew the population you screw the poll. FACT. You really think that Obama's approval rating would be where they are currently reported if 75% of those polled identified as Conservatives? So, why then do you not comprehend the worthlessness of the current CNN and ABC polls that skewed the population toward those knowingly to not be TRUMP supporters? Some news outlets are noting the bias in the population, but more main stream, biased, in bed with Dems agencies only want to quote the headlines and be, intentionally, misleading.

Please see the methodology that I posted above. Tell me how they skewed the data and thus the findings. What should they have done differently?

You are admitting the polls were slanted and bogus and meaningless.

Same polls that predicted the presidential election correctly. Grain of salt.
