The headline out of the recent Washington Post/ABC News poll was that President Trump’s approval ratings had hit an all-time high. Trump and his supporters were happy about that.
But the real news was buried in the poll and went largely overlooked by the press. And it should terrify everyone.
The poll found that Trump’s approval rating climbed five points to 44%, his best showing ever in that poll. Most polls have, in fact, shown Trump’s approval edging up. The Real Clear Politics average has him at 44.6%. It was below 43% a month ago. Gallup’s tracking poll has Trump within a few points of where President Obama was

“Here’s an even better idea. Start insisting that reporters and educators tell the truth about socialism. Namely, that no matter how it’s dressed up, socialism always produces the same result: Widespread, grinding misery and oppression.” How are we supposed to make them tell the truth? Victorious war is the only fix for this social malady. We’re too far gone for persuasive dialoging.

Shocker? Half the country, the democrat half, has been trending Commie for the last 50 years. They finally came out of the closet.

Very much of this has to do with the media promoting these socialist ideas. The free press in this nation has become a clear and ever present danger to the survival of America. Little wonder they "worry" about a strong President. They truly need to be taken down "a few notches."

Yesterday, I heard on a radio station in Connecticut that - in a recent poll - a number of those called thought that socialism meant that the people who practice it were sociable people. Many of those polled also believe that socialism would make everything fair for everyone.
I think they believe it would be The Government that would make everything fair for all.
And if it is a Washington Post/ABC poll, I totally distrust it.

#3, the President is polling strong. Sane people recoil from the insane.

Let me offer my definition, #1, as generally presented by the usual suspects: Whitey sucks, take his stuff.

And it is probably better for Trump than that, too.

"But the real news was buried in the poll and went largely overlooked by the press. And it should terrify everyone." Ahhh more objective unbiased reporting by the MSM. Why should news that a very popular, at least by a fairly large part of the population, which is never how it is reported, president has climbed in the biased polls, "Should Terrify Everyone". I always look to the fruit and see how well the children of other folks have grown up. So far as I can tell, and of course the majority of us including the press, really don't know the Trump family personally, the Trump kids, by all of his wives and he is far from the only man of power and wealth who indulge their ability to sample the delights of physical sexuality available to them, but back to the kids, what one sees and hears seems to find the children of all of the wives largely respecting and working with their father well. They are not little carbon copies and some hold more liberal social views than I do but that in and of itself is not a problem. They all seem to respect and honor their dad and support his attempts to straighten out the problems that have arisen from decades of Liberal rule.

Socialism: A political system/scam based on greed and envy wherein the political 'leadership' takes the money of people who have actually worked for it in order to give it those who haven't, after they've skimmed their 90% off the top. Don't think that isn't the case or it's an exaggeration, because it isn't.

Be still my heart!
I think there's a tiny outside chance that Trump could be re-elected. Gee - - I wish - - I wish - - I wish - - - - - -

In a nation like our great Republic this should never be a poll question. If Socialism is so wonderful the likes of Bernie Sanders et al would be in Venezuela fixing or basking in the utopian dream. That goes for all socialist leaning liberals who enjoy their capitalism like Bernie Sanders.

Socialism only thrives when a society is stupid, ignorant, and corrupt. The consequences of Socialism are tyranny, poverty, misery, and death.

I suspect that President Trump does much better against a NAMED socialist who has to explain himself. Silly geese, the answer to who pays for it is always, "The Government pays for it."

"Shocker"? Why is this poll called a "shocker?" A little overblown, isn't it? Most polls are a "foregone conclusion."

Obama's polls were either all fiction or they interviewed only blacks or old white women who thought he was cute. Any real American with common sense knew that he was a half-wit who was more interested in hitting golf balls and spending our money on vacations and campaigning for himself. His teleprompter was smarter than he was.
Paying attention to hostile MSM-backed polling for President Trump is a complete waste of time because they fudge the data worse than the global warming cult does. The 2016 election was the prime example of the uselessness of polls and the Harpy they were attempting to help learned that lesson the hard way.
The snowflakes who support socialism are as stupid as the candidates who are fraudulently or naively promoting it. Nobody wins in a socialist country except the dictator who controls the money and the military. If one of those clowns wins the election it will be - Bienvenida a Venezuela Norte!
