If I were to start doing a poll of presidential approval, I personally would do registered voters,” Kondik told TheDCNF in July 2017. “If you’re looking specifically at trying to figure out the electoral effects, you’re probably better off doing registered voters or likely voters.”
  • CNN claims 35 percent of American adults approve of how Trump is performing
  • Rasmussen Reports found *49 percent of respondents approve of the president (*50 today)
  • Some information could call CNN poll’s results into question
CNN is skewing polling data to show the majority of Americans disapprove of the way President Donald Trump is handling the presidency.

The network published a poll Sunday that claims 35 percent of American adults approve of how Trump is performing as president. Those results are in stark contrast to a Monday Rasmussen Reports poll that found 49 percent of respondents approved of how the president is managing the White House.

What accounts for a roughly 15 percentage point disparity?

  1. There are many ways to influence a poll. In this situation, those taking the poll are lying sacks of crap, and probably fabricated the numbers.
