ABC/Washington Post are at it again. They put out a poll today that shows President Trump's job approval rating at 38% favorable and 60% unfavorable. That's not just a negative poll; it's way more unfavorable than others. For example, yesterday, the Rasmussen poll on the same question found the difference between unfavorable and favorable to be 3% rather than the 22% found by the ABC/WaPo poll. There's no way both could be correct.
It is worth noting that Rasmussen is a daily poll and over the last month, the results each day have varied between a tie on favorable/unfavorable to 6% unfavorable. That makes yesterday's 3% right in the middle of 30 polls. The ABC/WaPo poll seems to have polled people in a different universe.
I have grown so distrustful of the mainstream media, and especially the WaPo, that my first impression is that this latest poll is a fraud. The campaign for November starts in earnest on Tuesday, so this poll allows the media to claim that Trump is a dead weight around the necks of the GOP (even if it is not true.) It's a sad day for America when we have to assume that the mainstream media is lying.
