Polls show that President Trump has a favorability rating of 41.2%.

They also show Chuck Schumer at 29%, Nancy Pelosi at 28%, and Mitch McConnell at 22%. Can Chuck, Nancy, and Mitch learn something from The Donald?

    Do we know who was polled, Stu? 

    Doesn’t this equate to a non-favorable rating of 58.8%? 

    The last poll I saw on the issue, showed Congress’ approval rating at about 11%. At least McConnell, et al, (pathetic as they all are) are still ahead of the curve for their group average, no? This post was edited by Don Barzini at November 13, 2018 12:53 PM MST

    I’ve always treated polls as an amusement. They‘re prized when we like them, just crap when we don’t 

    To me, 1800 registered voters (RV) is too small a sample to realistically gauge the positions of 200 million RV. The variations in the different polls on your links are telling.

    That seems a lot higher than I thought. However, I don't put much credence into polls anyway.

  • I can take a poll in a Dem. voting district and then the same poll in a Rep. voting district and the results will be nowhere near the same.  Seeing the results of the mid-terms, I don't think Trump's approval rating is that high.  No, in fact, I think Dems could win in 2020 and return us to the Obuttfeckus era.

    Argue with the results, which are an aggregation of polls from multiple sources and (obviously) more scientific and systematic than what you might think...

  • So, what happened to Hilliar?  All the polls showed she was going to win. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at November 14, 2018 2:26 AM MST

    She's not in office, so nobody cares.

  • Her loss disproves your poll theory.

    What theory? I was just citing some numbers without judgement.

  • The theory within your question.  Do you believe those numbers?  They all won re-election over the past 4 years.  Those percentages are probably numbers from national polls rather than that of the states they represent.

    Honestly, there's no theory. Please don't try to put words in my mouth.

  • I didn't put anything in your mouth, but just so you don't end up with your drawers in a bunch, I don't believe the percentages you provided us with to answer by, and I question those who took the polls.

    Then ask them, and don't shoot the messenger.

  • I'm not shooting at you, Stu.  I'm trying to make sense out of HOW they reached those numbers.

    OK. That's why I provided the links. Go follow them and research all you like.

    Looks like he's on track to be the most disapproved president since Truman. No surprise, there!

    Those numbers add up to 120%.

    All you can learn from that is to not trust polls

    But each poll was independent of the others, so they needn't add to 100%.

    Statistically insignificant sample size. Remember the 2016 polls that had Hillary on a hiding to nothing, unbackable?
