President Trump Is the Second-Most Admired Man in America, Gallup Poll Finds - Time

I actually did. And 1049 people is not a good representation of the opinions of the entire population of the US.

I'm sorry you accept that it is.

lol...you must not have gotten a very good grade.
 
So Trump was third, bested By Obama, then Hillary. That's still a lot better than reason would suggest.

No. Hillary Clinton got 9% to Michelle Obama's 7%.
 
There are a lot of polling companies but I trust Gallup to have used a statistically relevant group of people to have reached the conclusions they posted. So, yes. They have been doing this for over 70 years & they have succeeded because they produce good product. Apparently you just disagree with their results. So do your own poll: open the phone book & call 1,049 people in different areas of the country. No concentration in big cities or Flyover country.

I am not saying surveying the 1049 people did not produce what they are saying the results were. I am saying that it DOES NOT represent what all Americans think.

If you're going to have a high confidence in claiming what all Americans think on a subject, you'll need a much larger sample size. More like 60,000.

And what is your background in polling & analytics? You know better than Gallup? I hardly think so. It's just your opinion, which counts for very little.
 
How much money you were paid by the liberal/Demos to post this ?

Aside from the messenger's salary, do you have any rebuttal to posted material? Links? Facts? Figures?

Yes, it's my opinion that asking about 20 people in each of 50 states does not represent what all of America believes. :shrug:

Why do you have to be rude and insulting about it?

"You don't need to eat a whole bowl of soup, to know if it's too salty. So long as you stir it, a spoonful will suffice." G Gallup.
 
I did, thank you.

1500 people sampled for 120,000,000 voting population, assuming 95% confidence level, will give a result within approx 3% margin of error.
 
President Trump Is the Second-Most Admired Man in America | Time

Donald Trump may be the current president, but in terms of who Americans most admire, his predecessor and the person he beat in the 2016 election top the list.

Barack Obama edged his successor as the most admired man for 2017, a Gallup poll finds, marking the first time since 2008 when a sitting president didn’t win the annual accolade. Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, is the woman Americans most admire for the 16th year in a row.

It was a close race. Seventeen percent of those surveyed named Obama as the man they most admire, to 14 percent for Trump. To no surprise, there was a wide partisan split, with 35 percent of Republicans saying Trump was most admired man of the year, and 39 percent of Democrats picking Obama.
=================================================================================
Americans most admire the last president. He helped our economy by reversing the downward economic trend & helping to create an economy that put over 15 million people back to work (see graphic attached).

Who would admire Trump, an habitual sexual predator who supported Roy Moore .... another sexual predator?

That's what I thought when I read the article earlier today. How on earth is Trump the 2nd most popular? He has a strong 35% base. That's it. Just 35% and that has not changed.

Did the White House get to vote, and their votes counted 4 to 1 or something?
 
"Voting for" is not the same as admiring. People voted for her for many reasons, very few related to anything admirable she's done.

In any case, it's not a serious poll, and the results bear that out.

Would you consider it a serious poll if Trump had been the most admired, or would you still be whining about how it's "not serious?"
 
What an interesting conceit. Your fantasies simply aren't reality.

Lulz. Assumes facts not in evidence. There is no rational reason to believe that you know anything about 'serious people'.

Says the guy who argues with people on the internet. :)

Yeah, sometimes it's like shooting fish in a barrel. A small barrel, chock-a-block full of fish. :lol:
 
1. I find it hard to believe in a poll that asks only 1049 people out of all the people in the U.S. and then claim that "Americans most admire". 1049 people DO NOT represent what most Americans think.

Yes.

2. I also find it hard to believe in a poll that says Hillary Clinton is more admired than Michelle Obama, or anyone else in the U.S.

Yes, part deux.

Edit: Add a #3. I can believe Obama is most admired, but not that Trump is 2nd most admired.

Oui, oui, Fifi.

I agree on all points. No way HRC is more popular than Michelle Obama. No way.

And no way Trump is 2nd most popular. :lol:
 
I take it you never studied statistics.

I did, and did well in that class.

I think a great deal of the statistics depends on where, and how, they were collected.

Probably land lines? Who has land lines anymore? Old folks, that's who. Most old folks I know love Trump. They don't realize yet that he's going to take their Medicare and Social Security. They still love the old fool.
 
We've never had a POTUS who sympathized with ISIS, openly, secretly or otherwise. Nor did the territory loss mostly happen this year.

Pretty much why you're not taken seriously here in a nutshell.


Nor have we ever had a president collude with Russia to win an election but that doesn't stop your side from using over the top hyperbole so I don't see why we can't do the same thing as well.
 
I can just imagine the look of partisan constipation on the faces of Trumplings as they read this, and impotently proclaim they don't really care. And then desperately search for something, anything, to post about HRC or Obama...as if it's political Preparation H. :)

As Trumps Approval Rating Sinks, Obama and Biden Are Becoming More Popular



That might actually mean something if the same polls didn't show Bush II at 59% approval. One of the biggest idiots of a president we've ever had before Obama came along.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Former President George W. Bush's national image continues to improve in his retirement, with his favorable rating rising seven percentage points over the past year to 59%. This continues the fairly steady improvement in Bush's favorable rating since it registered a meager 35% at the start of his post-presidential years in March 2009.

George W. Bush and Barack Obama Both Popular in Retirement
 
Yes, it's my opinion that asking about 20 people in each of 50 states does not represent what all of America believes. :shrug:

Why do you have to be rude and insulting about it?

I did not think I was being either rude or insulting. I did not mean to offend you or any one here. I apologize but you took my words the wrong way.
 
Nor have we ever had a president collude with Russia to win an election but that doesn't stop your side from using over the top hyperbole so I don't see why we can't do the same thing as well.

We don't know for sure yet, as the investigations are ongoing. And the only 'side' I have is rationality and where the evidence leads. It's nothing you'd likely understand.

I know, I know, to hold together their fragile, snowflakes psyches, some people need to pretend that the current POTUS definitively didn't collude with the Russians, but raitonal adults understand that that's simply a self-defense mechanism, since no results have been released yet.
 
Don't tell me - "this survey was sponsored by the DNC" - and "the most hated man was found to be Bernie Sanders, followed by Jim Comey"

You're side has had a year. Put up or shut up.
 
I don't think a cheap shot question like yours deserves a response.
Cheap shot questions seems to be the name of the game here for now.

They only enjoy or agree with polls, so long as they give the information that they want to hear.

Its rather pathetic if you ask me.
