Trump blasts 'rigged' polls of his public approval | Daily Mail Online

President-elect Donald Trump blasted 'rigged' opinion polls Tuesday as two different surveys pegged him as the least popular man to take the oath of office in four decades, with a popularity rating just half of what Barack Obama's was eight years ago.
'The same people who did the phony election polls, and were so wrong, are now doing approval rating polls,' Trump tweeted Tuesday morning. 'They are rigged just like before.'
Trump set out his missive amid blaring headlines about his record-low popularity upon taking office, and negative ratings for his handling of the transition period.
Trump scored an approval rating of just 40 percent in a new CNN / ORC poll. His approval rating was identical in an ABC News / Washington Post poll.
Trump doesn't appear to won over converts through his handling of the transition period.

The man just cannot accept that everybody does not love him. And the numbers show the truth of the illegitimacy charge and its taking hold in the American people.
 
His presidency is absolutely legitimate. But he is also horribly unpopular. Best he accepts that and works to change it.

He's incapable of that. Donald Trump loves himself more than he loves anything else in the world, and he's incapable of comprehending that a LOT of people think he's a complete asshole.

I liked what one celebrity said at least. Every day a couple of anti-Trump celebrities should tweet out something negative about Trump. Since he can't resist tweeting back at that person, perhaps he will be so overloaded with tweeting that he won't get anything done. :lamo

Yes, the numbers might indicate Trump is not universally loved. No surprise. No, the numbers don't show anything at all about illegitimacy. That is a fiction rattling around in your head.

I don't blame him for not believing them. Neither do I. The liberal press and a segment of the Left will say or do ANYTHING to bring down Donald Trump. I am disgusted with the whiney left, the media and our Democratic politicians for what I consider to be treasonous conduct. Believe the polls? Pfft.

Edit... Have the Dems introduced a proposed constitutional amendment abolishing the Electoral College yet? Strike while the iron's hot, don't you think.

So, these approval polls are different than the polls leading up to the election? You know, the "Trump has absolutely no pathway to 270" polls?

Can you name any established polling companies whose final numbers were outside of the announced margin of error?

You prove that denial is not just a river in Egypt.

Actually both terms have been around for a very long time. You simply don't like them now because they detract from your new idol.

Most Americans did not vote for Trump. That is a fact. Trump cannot accept that fact. It may honestly be that he doesn't understand it. I would venture to say fewer people today support Trump than when he was elected. Trump probably does not understand that either.

Or like the election polls where only 27% of voters supported trump.

True. Trump was elected by the system we have in place, meaning he is legitimate. That does not change the fact that he is very unpopular and as such needs to grow a thinker skin. If he does well the attacks will slow, if he screws up he is going to get many more, he might as well get over it and deal with the situation as it is.

Hey, look, a man of straw.

Did I state, infer or imply the words have not been around a long time?

No, I did not.

I have no problem with the words. Just ihe incessant parroting recently by Trumpophobes.

There is a difference between not being "loved" and someone attacking the legitimacy of the person holding a political position. That position being the high representative of the sovereign makes that attack a direct attack against the legitimacy of system and sovereign.
That does not mean that Trump's reaction was appropriate or good.

Trump won. I'll wait to see how he fares over an extended period of time before I make any conclusions about the level of support he might enjoy going forward. I'm more interested in the results of his policies than the result of his rhetoric and his personal feelings.

We'll have to wait to see how well his policy decisions do. Trump was given virtually no chance of success in the election, so in at least that respect he vastly exceeded expectations. He could do the same in office. I do agree that the thicker skin is a requirement if he is to be successful. Kicking a chihuahua nipping at your heels is not a flattering image for a president.

Can you name any that were within the margin of error?

Yes, Trump won. That does not change the fact that most Americans did not vote for him. We may assume then that Trump's polling results would reflect that and they appear to. There's no revelation in that alone. It is, however, interesting that Trump doesn't understand that. Rather than suck it up and become presidential he wallows in victimhood and lies to himself. It is interesting that Trump fanatics are willing to parrot Trump even when he acts and sounds like a buffoon.

Trump is not a deep thinker, he has the attention span of a 4 year old, and he has alienated Americans, world leaders and people across the globe. Trump is creating a larger support deficit by the day. Is he suddenly going to turn into a responsible adult by the end of the week? Anything is possible. As he begins he will need all the good will and support he can muster. He is acting as if he wants the exact opposite. He makes things worse for himself day by day.

Since most Americans didn't even participate in the election, let alone registered voters, no, that is not a fact. Not even close.

Thank for confirming that you just don't like the words because they detract from your new idol.

The system is indeed at fault because it permits a person to take that high office when the American people have said otherwise. Until that fatal flaw is eliminated in the system - there is and will be the risk of future US Presidents being illegitimate just as Trump is now.
