These are the 4 in 10 who didn't vote then.
So looking over these numbers I have many questions, and I wish they had a breakdown of what people sell reported as instead of just the overall number of people surveyed, because I think was a good number of people trying to skew things (I hope at least - or else I really don't understand).
Like comparing the 2 charts below for example:
- 11% of Dems found Trump favorable
- 9% of Dems found JD favorable (ouch for JD "couch fucker" Vance being 2 points behind a guy that is a convicted rapist and felon, and currently running the country into the ground)
- 17% of Dems found RFK Jr. favorable (the guy pushing for sick kids and hurting anyone requiring anything in the proximity of mental health)
- So overall in the 1st chart 18% think Trump is doing great, but then somehow 39% have a favorable opinion of him?
- And overall in the 1st chart 39% think Trump is doing a horrible job, but 57% have an unfavorable opinion of him overall.
So despite 39% of those surveyed thinking Trump is great, only 18% of them think he is doing great. While 57% of people surveyed think unfavorable of Trump, while only 39% think he is doing a horrible job.
Yeah it's The Hill. They launder conservative talking points to neoliberals and centrists in order to obfuscate real information. Nothing they report is trustworthy.
Yeah.... That's why he is president?
Electoral collage. It masks unpopularity.
As much as i hate it trump not onky won the electoral college but the popular vote this go around.
That is true, but its important to remember that didn't vote is just as large (and often wins every election when factored in)
Biden is the only president in the last 50 years or something to win the election if "didn't vote" was a person.
Skeletor is an inconsiderate and mean employer.
Sooo... Wait...
"4 in 10 Americans say Trump has been a 'terrible' leader in his second term.
2 in 10 think he has done an average job
3 in 10 says he’s been a great or good president."
4+2+3 = 9...
Rounding.
They left out 1 in 10 for "Poor." I also didn't find a link to the poll in the article. Here's the poll:
Great/Good NET 31
- Great 18
- Good 13
Average 16
Poor/Terrible NET 52
- Poor 13
- Terrible 39
DON’T KNOW -
SKIPPED/REFUSED 1
N= 1,260

Presumably rounding, or 1 in 10 thinks he's just done a bad job.
"There are 3 types of people: those who can count, and those who cannot".
Terrible is inadequate. Death penalty warranted traitor is closer to accurate.
Amazing that so many don’t think that. The media must be working overtime to hide such a mess from so many.
Not really. This work has been done over decades. Most Americans get their news from Fox or Facebook, both of which are intentionally misinforming people on a daily basis.
Oh no! A new poll! Polls are very truthy. /s
