Trump Approval Rating Hits All-Time High in New Gallup Poll May 1st.

Read the verbiage. It will help you better understand the data.

The #'s have not been revised down.

I understand the concept of proximal cause of death.

If an elderly patient with weak lungs and pre-existing pneumonia contracts COVID and dies, what goes on the death certificate?
 
Polls aren't scientific numbers. For them to be scientific they'd have to have more of a consensus to them. These worthless polls are cherry-picked and vary wildly depending on bias. They are no more than guesstimates for hype's sake and pollsters are like the political version of bookies. Just looking at how some of you saps act over the most minor fluctuations just shows how good they are at this. Or is it just that some make it just that easy?

Yes, millions of people are chomping at the bit to vote against Trump, but millions more will vote for him.

Even though the linked poll below has Biden in the lead, let's not forget that Hillary once led Obama before he beat her in 2008. It's still over 6 months to the election. If the economy picks up again and Biden keeps stepping on his dick, that could easily swing the other way.

Speaking of Biden, remember when all those Liberals were making fun of Mike Pence for refusing to be alone with a woman not his wife? Yeah. Good advice in retrospect.
You're letting your feelings get in the way. I don't rely on polling. Never did. You can't reference an election when the incumbent POTUS is leaving office, when discussing an election with the incumbent POTUS being the most incompetent moron in the history of the office.


He'll get every Republican vote, and Biden will get every Democrat vote. No news there. trump will NOT get the scant few votes that put him over the top again. He screwed the unions who took a chance on him. I'm guessing you haven't been paying attention to every election since his inauguration?

He literally held Klan rallies and told his minions that they have to vote for 'his guy', because the election is really about himself.

How's that been working out?
 
I’m skeptical of the 200k number.

Did you see where the CDC revised the numbers down to 37k deaths?

You also have kind of virus-centric analysis. One thing that ‘could happen’ is it falls off the radar by mid-late summer. Durham lurks, still yet. What if it turns out the Trump campaign was literally and illegally spied on by our own intelligence agencies?

I would give that at least a 50/50 chance and it could be a game changer.

If the body count across the nation plateau's at 1000 deaths/day, then we'll see 100K total deaths a few days after the D-Day anniversary. If it happens, you might want to reconsider your calculations. If it doesn't, then we can all thank God!

I heard about the conspiracy theory, but the CDC didn't revise their figures: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.html

I have no idea what you are trying to say in your last paragraph. If you are saying the total death tally is a vast, wide Left Wing conspiracy, then I'll wait for the cool judgment of history.

What feelings do you think I have on the issue and are there any particular things you think I have feelings for?

Polling is a tool. That's all it is. Public polling is not divining the future by reading tea leaves. It's an indicator of public sentiment. It can be used when focusing more on some states and less on others for campaign purposes. Still, all smart, sane people know that the only poll that matters is the one in November. One reason Hillary didn't campaign in certain key states is because her strategy was off and that was probably off due to polling. Their own polls matched with other reputable sources.

You're letting your feelings get in the way of your thinking.

It's be funny to see Trump in a Klan robe in front of a burning cross, please post yours.

Your anti Biden sentiment. Or, your pro Bernie sentiment. Or, your pro trump sentiment. You're making statements that aren't based in fact. 'Millions more will vote for trump'. Really? They didn't do it last time, and they certainly won't do it this time.

I'll see your faith in polling, and raise you every election since trump's inauguration. You know...as a tool.

It's a matter of medical science; Bernie, Biden and Trump are all too old for the job. That's just the beginning of the list for reasons they are unfit, but I'll readily agree Trump's list is the longest of the three. Regardless, it's a shitty selection of national leaders.

Are you trying to say polls are "fake news"?

TRUMP IS THE FIRST NON-POLITICIAN POTUS OF OUR LIFETIMES.

HE WILL WIN RE-ELECTION EASILY.

Jesus, another geezer who needs to have the nurses up his Xanax dosage.

No, dude, Trump is a fucking moron but he's still as political as anyone else in Washington.

What do you consider easily? Win by 1% of the vote? About the same number of Electoral Votes? (That's 306 to 232 if you don't recollect off hand)

Dude, it's not a literal approval rating among Americans. That's not how these things work and they will never reflect the true numbers out there. They could be higher they could be lower. Who do you think they are polling for you to want to brag? It's the very reason polls are so varied on the exact same subject. It's sad more people don't get the gist of numbers games. Just like with gambling they are just there to create hype. Have you ever been to the horse races? The numbers work the same there.

you clearly don't understand basic data science and probability.
 
I do not see how in the hell this clown fool approval rating hit an all-time high?!!:whoa:


Mistakes were made. Lies were told. The body count keeps rising.

President Donald Trump’s disastrous mismanagement of the covid-19 pandemic has been compared with President George W. Bush’s deadly inaction in advance of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. But Bush did not have months to prepare for that storm, as Trump did for this pandemic.

This is not Trump’s Katrina; it’s his Vietnam — with a warped timeline.

In February, Trump said the number of cases would soon be “zero.” Bush may have failed to prepare; Trump actively thwarted preparation. Trump is a tactical liar, spreading falsehoods to get through the next five minutes, not the next five weeks or months or years. He is aided by a Republican Party that has routinely defended his incompetence and corruption and is now poised to contribute to the defining event of his presidency: unnecessary death on a mass scale.

Casualties from the coronavirus failure will not persist for years. Scientists will devise a response, and public-health experts will make it stick. But Trump, who continues to encourage reckless behavior that will lead to additional loss of life, will make the death toll far higher than it should have been. The price of an unfit American president will be paid in thousands of American lives.

Gallup is the lowest rated poll company of the 23 big ones and is generally 7.3 points off.

The pollsters as a profession are now held in low esteem by the Non Morons on account of their now long record of being wrong, and worse not objecting when the propagandizers at the MSM lie about their results, and as well as lie about the quality of their work.

Shocker!: Performance always did matter!

Some polls are just that. Internet polls make it possible for people to vote as often as they like. Other polls derive any conclusion that they want, simply by the choice of questions.

I never trusted polls. That doesn't mean that they are always wrong. They were correct about Clinton.

I don't disagree about the age of the candidates. I would have liked to see mayor Pete in the mix. If not for the politicization of everything in today's climate, I think he'd make a great VP instead of choosing a token women/minority just to draw out the non white, non male vote.

Even though women are going to destroy trump in November no matter who the candidate is.

polls have been all over the place. the other day i saw biden +1 in texas and he's been doing ok in WI and penn

this election is gonna be really close.

totally possible (perhaps even likely) that trump loses popular vote again but wins electoral college

if its "close" at the height of pandemic panic and isolation unemployment, he should soar once we put this shit behind us and people start reflecting on what happened.......
