Really?

if his approval was that high, do you think Hillary would have actually lost

?

They sampled more democrats than republicans, they don't say where in the country they polled the "independents". do you REALLY believe this poll?

Clinton got 3 million more popular votes than Trump got.

Let's wait and see what Trump's approval rating is when he leaves office.

:lol:

If you take out NYC and LA, she lost by at least that many popular votes, hence the brilliance of the electoral college.

What did obama do in the last couple weeks to jump 20+ points?

What do you think it was?

This is the breaking news section, I hope this is ok, given it's #fakenews.... Once again:

"[/FONT][/COLOR]METHODOLOGYA total of 1,000 adults were interviewed by telephone nationwide by live interviewers calling both landline and cell phones.Among the entire sample, 32% described themselves as Democrats, 24% described themselves as Republicans, and 44%described themselves as independents or members of another party.All respondents were asked questions concerning basic demographics, and the entire sample was weighted to reflectnational Census figures for gender, race, age, education, region of country, and telephone usage.Crosstabs on the following pages only include results for subgroups with enough unweighted cases to produce a samplingerror of +/- 8.5 percentage points or less. Some subgroups represent too small a share of the national population to producecrosstabs with an acceptable sampling error. Interviews were conducted among these subgroups, but results for groupswith a sampling error larger than +/-8.5 percentage points are not displayed and instead are denoted with "NA"."

So even by once again stacking the deck by using the same polling peoples they got for the other poll, they got what they were looking for.

Does ANYONE really believe Obama's actual approval rating is 60%?

One only needs to look at the source then smile ! The C linton N ews N ewwork !! :lol:

It's 60% because the man who is replacing him is such a joke/buffoon.

If you mean that he uses twitter, and hits back with what most people consider pedestrian attacks that hit hard, then yes you have a point, but I would point to the shift already going on...

If it was a well respected individual, his rating would obviously be lower.

Oh, I think he is plenty respected by the people...He did after all win more counties than Obama did...

Obama did a lousy job, overall (forget what Obamabots say - they are too biased to take seriously)...but he has a HECK of a lot more integrity than Trump or Hillary Clinton...so naturally, he looks much better than he did a year ago.

Obama was a divisive do nothing...And when history settles, he is going to be seen as the puff of dust that he was, much like a fart in the wind.

Hell, I thought he did a lousy job...but I would much rather have him in the White House then either Trump or Clinton...but especially Trump. That buffoon being in charge is downright scary if I think about it.

This meme about being "scary"... Is bull ****! Come on people....We all know how it works in DC...Nothing to be "scared" about....All of this really is just angst ridden millennials throwing a temper tantrum that they didn't get their wish, and those supporting them, or enabling them if you will, by agree with them...The poll reflects that Obama would be a popular guy to have a beer with, but he sucked at getting things done.

Hillary's so called Pop vote lead = Fake News?: Arguably Yes.

:roll:

"Fake news" is when some guy sitting on his couch in his underwear writes a patently false article, like "Russian Hooker Who Had Sex With Trump Mocks His Tiny Penis."

The polls, in contrast, were actually not far off. For the last 2 months of the election, Clinton was only ahead by 4-5%, and she won the popular vote with 2%. The final results were within the margin of error.

And again, Trump won with a very narrow electoral college victory, based off of around 80,000 votes spread across a handful of states where there wasn't frequent polling.

Given such narrow margins, the polls actually did a decent job. They certainly weren't off by an order of magnitude.

The only useful information to come from Jill Steins recounts is that Democrats were stuffing the ballot boxes in their strong hold areas like Detroit.

Yeah, that has nothing to do with... anything we're talking about.

In several counties Nevada Democrats cheaters screwed up and gave Hillary herself more votes then there were voters.

Yeah.... No. The unfounded allegations of voter fraud in Nevada were *cough* trumped up by Republican partisans. A Republican Assemblyman came up with this bull**** claim. It's not proof, it's not real.

It is not "fake news" in the sense that the Assemblyman is real, he did make the statement, and it wasn't an article made up as clickbait. It's just bull****.

But thanks for displaying that you have zero skepticism or critical acumen when it comes to any statement that is negative about Democrats. :roll:

In California they give Illegal Aliens drivers licenses which automatically registers them to vote and at least 3 million did vote.

That's not even remotely true either.

So, let's see what the official review and investigation shows as you continue to believe what actual results showed in 2008-2010-2012 that illegals did vote but the question remains in what numbers. Sorry but don't have a lot of faith in any review of the state of California that allows Illegals to get a valid driver's license, allows for sanctuary cities, has over 400 billion in debt doing their own investigation and reviews of potential voter fraud.

It really doesn't matter now as it is President Trump but the review is going to happen and you aren't going to like the results even if you bother to review them

Nice cherry pick of data attempt.

Im sure there were polls that said that at one point but this thread is about a polls conducted by CNN & ABC and in late October early November they had Hillary ahead by 12 points.

Nope, no cherry picking. In fact, I use RealClearPolitics, which aggregates polls, which means I can't cherry pick.

The national polls were never the issue. Most pollsters had it about where you say, with some actually saying Trump could win the popular vote. But every MSM pollister predicted that Hillary would destroy Trump in the Electoral College.

....yes, the analysts were wrong. The polls themselves were not far off, especially given the unusually large number of undecided voters.

And again, the margins in swing states were quite thin. E.g. Trump won Florida by 113,000 votes; if 57,000 people had voted for Clinton instead of Trump, she would be the one sworn into office today.

"That people waited until the last minute to decide who to vote for" is Hillary/Democrat propaganda.

No, it's just a fact. There are always undecided voters in every election. By the start of November it was around 15%, as opposed to 2012 (when it was 5%).

I have been hearing this explanation of MSM polls from Infowars since last summer.

...yes, that's because we knew the numbers of undecided were very high in the summer -- around 25%.

InfoWars may be a conspiracy site but a lot of conspiracies keep coming true (Hillary's Health).

lol

Stopped clock - RationalWiki

Sorry, but Infowars is completely full of ****. Why am I not surprised you patronize it?

When they get it wrong they admit it (SandyHook).

Or, they scrub the evidence from the site.
