        Not sure but i think the 93% figure was among Republicans. The thing is, 7% of his own party don't approve of the big orange pig.

        Even then, Trump is lying, he has an 88% figure among Republicans (Gallup) so he stretched the truth. And yup, 12% of Reps don't approve of him.

        A more reliable, weighted poll-of-polls says 42.5%.https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_trump_job_approval-6179.html …

        1/ I doubt you adjusted for sampling size. But the same can be said for the Quinnipiac. But here in lies the point: A poll-of-polls weighted for sampling and methodologies is more reliable, despite your subjective selectivity.

        2/ We are in a weird time when we have to remind even the Left that your social media bubble and subsequent self-perceived moral authority does not mean you are immune from the burden of objectivity in science or journalism.

        How about you start writing headlines using the 'Top Line" number, e.g. "President Trump's disapproval rating is 53.5%." The way you & msm do this everyone focuses on the approval; that is all they hear, "Americans approve . . ." The headline sets the stage for understanding.

        Still 42.3% among likely voters, too, once again this is not good or bad.

        So 41.4% of Americans are racists or idiots or both? How else can one explain this? #TrumpResign

        Referring to people who disagree politically with you as “idiots” and “racists” is how you can guarantee another term for Trump. Divisive and untrue rhetoric like that only hurts things, it doesn’t help.
