Yeah, exactly like the poll you cited! Wait a minute... PS pehaps we should all tag all future tolls with "why would they lie?" Of course I already know the answer is "because it says something I do not like" "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

And yet, Bush was invited and Trump was explicitly excluded. Hmm. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

| Dalex64 Member since: Mar 8, 2014 Threads: 3 Posts: 3687 | Hey, since we are quoting polls we like, and why would they lie, here is a link to the conservative-leaning but fair The Hill: http://thehill.com/homenews/media/404804-pro-trump-guest-grilled-on-fox-news-why-are-presidents-poll-numbers-so-low-if?amp Highlights: Fox news asking questions such as : if the economy is great and everyone is happy, why are Trump's approval ratings so low/ disapproval ratings so high? And, wait, only 3% of African Americans approve of the president's job performance? And why hasn't anyone refuted that Trump is playing more golf than Obama, and using air Force one for campaining? (Yet another thing he ripped Obama for that he was doing himself) How about draining the swamp? I don't have the link handy, but it was to USA today, highly ranked impartial/neutral news source, that said something like 15 percent think the swamp has been drained (less corrupt) but something like 40 percent think things are worse, and the rest think things are about the same? It is even bad among republicans polled. Why would they lie? Well that's plenty of comment, more than enough for people to ignore the bits they can't refute, and inject opinion in an attempt to distract and deflect and dismiss. It's like an Olympic sport around here. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

People lie in election polls because they don't want anybody to know who they'll vote for. In non election polls they don't care. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Bush and McCain never had a public feud, Trump and McCain did. Trump said awful things and so did McCain. You really need somebody to explain all this to you? I mean, really? You really need to discover Rush Limbaugh.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Too bad they don't run business slogans' "Bad business for you is good business for us!" You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
