Whether you like Trump or not. Polls mean nothing.
And your reality is what? Living under the tremendous strong leadership of the great leader for another term. That ain’t happening, you got 262 days left in your reality until competent adults are back in charge. Wanna bet? Originally Posted by Jaxson66

And for those who doubt Trump follows the polls closely. A single poll shows an increase in his approval rating and he's all over it.

Strange that two weeks ago he didn't mention that the same Gallup poll showed the largest one month drop in his approval rating since he's been in office, from 49% to 43%. Now it's back up. There were 9 other polls released the same day the Gallup poll was released. All others had him from -2% to -15%.

Trump “lashes” out. How do they know? The media throws negative poll numbers at Trump everyday, he’s just reacting to it. If the media pounde Biden, their moral savior, half of what they did to Trump and Kavanaugh his numbers would be in the shitter too. Media coverage influences the polls, they work hand in hand.

The media reports negative poll numbers because they are what they are. I watch Trump's coronavirus briefings on a rather regular basis and not once do I remember a reporter asking about Trump's negative poll ratings. But I do remember Trump mentioning positive poll ratings.

I know you don't like to answer questions asked of you, but how do you know the impact of the media on those people who respond to polls?

I may have missed your response, but I asked you a few days ago, after you complained about my estimate of "undecided" voters, what your estimate was. Any comment at this time?

However, I am certain that Trump and team are watching the polls and reacting accordingly. That doesn't mean at this point in the game the poll is in any way meaningful predictively as some on both sides would tout, but they are and will be watched by both sides.

And of course Trump would tout the good ones and ignore the bad, he is involved in the campaign and all. Just as the left tries to tout the bad ones.

I'll continue to take all polls with a grain of salt right now until we get much much closer to the election.

Biden might well understand.

There are I'm guessing very few who have actually experienced Trump ballistic or lashing out. The media portrayed him as both when he's dealt with Acosta during questioning and briefings, but in the end he was simply putting Acosta in his place in the way he communicates.

Call it what you will, but his style gets things done and he takes direct action. To me, still much better than most pols trying to play PC games and not "offend" anyone.

Well, I didn't ask you since you are far from open-minded.

Anyway, to me "ballistic" bears the same connotation as "lashes out". One has to take the report for what it is worth. It may be true it may not be true. This is hardly the first time Trump has been accused of such behavior behind closed doors. Remember "shithole countries". I'm saying it is certainly within the realm of possibility and I definitely believe it.
