1/17/17 CNN ORC Poll: Trump Approval at 40%

[Hillary Lost]

Ah more polls like the ones showing Clinton winning.  So if he's at 40% it's assumed he's at 60%.  Good job so far for Trump in the eyes of the people.

This is so tone-deaf: he only outperformed the polling averages by 1-2. But believe whatever you want to believe.

Suuuuuuure even though polls consistently had him down by 5-10 including a poll 10 days before the election showing Clinton leading 50-38.  Then all of a sudden the liberal media shifts their polls to Clinton +5.  After she lost they rushed to their own defense to suggest the polls weren't wrong because they were in the margin of error.  Why didn't she hang on to her 17 point lead that Democrats bragged about in August.  How do Democrats feel now? So your 1-2 points off claim might be the case for the night before the election, but in reality she led by much more throughout the year.  Go back through the polls. I believe ABC had her up 50-38 in October.  Surely you don't believe there was a 10 point swing in such a short time.  Or do you?  Answer my question.

The final CNN poll I could find had Clinton up 49%-44% nationally, pre-Comey. If we adjust for the 2-point margin decrease Hillary suffered post-Comey, it was 48%-45% Clinton, only 1 point off from the final result.

Yes but the lead Democrats arrogantly bragged about such as the 12 point lead she had in mid October.  What happened?  Are you really thinking anyone believes there was a 10 point swing in the last couple of weeks?  No the fact of the matter is that Trump led the entire time and the liberal media had people like you walking in their footsteps.  I bet you were let down.  Which stage of grief are you in?

This was literally right after Pussygate. A lot of Trump's cult dropped off for a few days because they were probably embarrassed by him, but that obviously didn't last. There, answered. Go ahead and ignore these polls as fake, and let's just see how 2018 and 2020 turn out if they continue to be piss-poor. 😉

The polls were fake news.  2018 oh yes Democrats will hold onto WV, ND, MT, MO, FL, OH, PA, and MI without a problem.  They might even pick up UT, TN, TX, and other red states the Republicans hold.  Get over it.

The problem for Trump is that he is disliked as a person, not just as President.

In the last couple of years of his presidency Bill Clinton had awful favorables whilst also having very good approvals. People can appreciate a job someone is doing even if they dislike them as a person, though of course it's not likely that Trump will do a good job.

This is true plus remember the polls had Trump down by 17 in August.  What happened to the 272 firewall?

[Hillary Lost]

To be fair to Trump, on the question of whether he will be a good or poor President people split equally, 48/48. It seems that a lot of people don't like the guy but, at least for now, are fine with, or have resigned themselves to, his politics.

And see what Democrats focus on instead?  Something showing him at 40%! Well whatever helps them sleep at night.  Hillary lost and they'll just have to deal with it.
