He’s the man: 84 percent of Americans accept Trump as the ‘legitimate’ president

I did not vote for Obama, but gave him the benefit of the doubt during the transition, hoping for the best. Same situation with Trump.

After Obama kept Robert Gates as SecDef, I realized nothing was going to change, that the new boss was pretty much the same as the old boss.

With Trump putting Giuliani into his cabinet in some way, I'm predicting the same thing--no meaningful change. But if Trump can make peace with Russia, I will be at least temporarily happy.

In related news, 93% of Americans have had enough of polls to last them the next two years, at least.

In two years people will be quoting them as gospel. Again, I will be disagreeing with most of them and using this election as an example of why not to believe all of the polls.

Yeah, ain't that great? But the margin of error on this one is so small compared to the stats they published that the poll still stands.

Look at you with your fancy statistical terms!
I suspect sampling error, of the biased variety, may be the culprit here, as in the election.
 
Any number under 100 is a disappointment.

Actually those weren't where they were mistaken in most of the polls.

There is no option on accepting that he won the election. That said do keep in mind that nearly half of all voters did not vote and that more than half that did vote voted for Hillary or a third Party candidate, meaning less than one 1/4 of the voting population elected trump.

I think repubs are going to very disappointed when trump does not much of what he sad he would, and in the end they ma be more disappointed in trump than many of those that opposed him. My guess is that most conservative actions will be done by the Republican Congress not the new guy in the WH.

Most of what President Trump promised has to go through Congress, anyway. I believe the days of executive law making are over.

If the poll is showing 84% then it's probably closer to 90%.

I have doubts on that, trump likes having power and I doubt he will be ending the use of his before he gets to try it out.
