1. I take accuracy on a story by story basis, and there is no evidence that the media is grossly or even minimally misreporting Trump's fuck-ups and blatant lies.

2. If I PM you my address will you mail me the hallucinogens you are on that cause you to be believe the notoriously outlier 'pollster' Rasmussen?

There are NO other polls that show Trump more popular than Obama at this point in their respective presidencies.

And seriously, 'Metro Voice'?

Yeah, that's as if my little blue Baltimore Catechism had a news section.



Nitwit extraordinaire.

Trump frequently cites Rasmussen, which Newsweek has called the president’s “favorite poll.” But Trump is cherry-picking.

Among 88 polls released this year, Rasmussen has the highest approval rating for Trump, according to Real Clear Politics. Three other recent polls have Trump’s latest approval as low as 39 percent: Gallup, NBC News/Wall Street Journal and Reuters/Ipsos. All three polls were taken this month.

If we look at Real Clear Politics’ average of polling data, Trump’s latest approval rating is 42.1 percent, a bit below the average of 44.3 percent on Jan. 27, 2017, a week after he took the oath of office.

Obama, meanwhile, had an average approval of 63.3 percent on Jan. 27, 2009, and an average of 47.7 percent on April 17, 2010, according to RCP.

FiveThirtyEight provides a weighted average of presidential approval polls and compares Trump’s figures with those of past presidents, going back to Harry S. Truman.
