    Here's a point for you to chew on Denny. Trump is the least popular president after the first year in office and it really isn't close. How you going to spin that one Vladimir Crane
    ?

    In some polls, he's higher than Obama was at this stage of his presidency.

    Reading is a good thing. Try it.

    Yeah, and your boy came up with a great idea to maybe have a rating system for movies. What a fucking idiot he is. Your spin is quite remarkable denny as I suppose you think his straw poll at the CPAC was realistic, lol.

    read it and weep.

    Another poll shows 31% agree that he would run into a school building unarmed with a live shooter. 69% wish he would. :breakdance:

    I have no reason to weep.

    I say "some polls say" and you find one pollster who disagrees. Congrats!

    Like I said, reading is a good thing. Comprehension is the next step.

    I honestly don't care about his polls. They are what they are. What matters is he won the most important one. Electoral College poll.

    And all the state polls in Clinton's "blue wall" that the media touted the whole while.

    The reason he won is the reason he may well win again. I already figured out why. You clearly haven't.

    The least friendly poll to Trump.

    Oh my, Obama spent a lot of his presidency at ~40%, about what Trump's is now.

    You are obviously misreading the graph. His average over the 8 years on that poll was 47.9%. Of the 32 quarters he was president, his quarterly average approval was never less than 41%. The lowest point was 38%.

    Right now Trump is at 39%. He's spent nearly his whole presidency under 40%.

    Obama spent his presidency looking down at a 40% rating. Trump spent his looking up at 40%. It's not accurate to say they were both ~40%.

    From 2013 to late 2014, Obama's approval was ~40%. That's just one part of the graph.

    It wasn't much higher than that until Clinton became the nominee.

    Remember, this is the MOST FAVORABLE poll for Obama.

    From what I can see, the polls don't mean squat! They more or less reflect the knowledge of those being polled more than anything else, much less anything meaningful about Trump. Sort of like metadata, only useful to the creator for a given purpose.

    Yes, if your point of view is that citizens opinions don't matter, then polls definitely don't mean squat. But then if opinions don't matter, why are you offering yours?

    It's a good point. There are few other opportunities for me to learn what a blind Trump partisan thinks, given that there are relatively few of you. I'm very grateful to you, Denny Nunes, and Maris.
