You probably knew that it wouldn’t take long for the fake news media to start grinding out fake polls showing how the country has turned on President Donald Trump, but you likely didn’t think the propaganda campaign would begin so soon into his second term — which he won by an electoral college landslide accompanied by a popular vote majority. One hundred days into Trump’s second term, suddenly the most popular Republican president in a generation is the most unpopular president in seventy years, if you believe CNN.
Well, don’t. And while you’re at it, you can disregard the rest of the legacy media ‘polling’ showing essentially the same thing, because they aren’t real. That’s according to a genuine and accurate pollster, Matt Towery, who took to the Fox News airwaves Monday night to reveal to host Laura Ingraham that Trump isn’t tanking, he’s maintaining his popularity thanks to sticking with the program he ran on: Border security, returning jobs to America, getting fairer trade deals, and lowering prices.
“None of them, to be honest with you,” Towery said regarding the accuracy of the raft of ‘Dump Trump’ polling. “I have a group of pollsters I look at who are public pollsters who’ve been right in all three of Trump’s cycles. We happen to be one of those. None of us have had him down by any of these numbers we’ve seen before. The only one that might concern me at all is the Fox News one because Fox did well in the 24 cycle.”
The Fox News host asked her guest whether he was troubled by recent ABC News, CBS News, and CNN polls showing a drop in voters’ approval of Trump’s job performance and his handling of key issues like tariffs, the overall economy, and illegal immigration. “So that’s the only one of these other ones — I looked at some of them. They are absolutely, I don’t like to criticize polling, but how can you have a poll, as John McLaughlin, a good friend of mine pointed out, how could you have a poll that shows Donald Trump at 39%?” Towery asked. “But yet when you ask people who they voted for and they said they voted for Trump, like 95% said they would vote for him again.”
The ABC News poll—conducted with The Washington Post and Ipsos and released Sunday—puts Trump’s approval at 39%, down six points since February. It also finds 37% trust him to manage the economy, compared with just 30% who believe congressional Democrats would do a better job, according to the Daily Caller. “Now, last time I checked, Donald Trump got almost 50% of the vote. So how in the world can that poll be correct? There’s no possible way,” Towery said.
“He’s not in free fall. He’s had a little bit of slippage because he’s doing a lot. He’s breaking a lot of eggs to make an omelet, but he is not dropping in any significant way. I can guarantee you, and I’m just not paying any attention to this nonsense. They were wrong in the elections in the past, and they’re going to be wrong about his approval rating as well,” the pollster added.
Trump is moving so quickly and on so many fronts that it’s dizzying, and that may be affecting his approval somewhat. But what’s also true is that, as they did during his first term, these same “news” outlets whose polls claim to reflect a tanking presidency are publishing any negative thing they possibly can about him 24/7. That said, the media noise machine has nothing else to throw at Trump other than BS, so expect that to continue. But as Towery said, take heart: It’s not hurting the guy most of us voted for at this point.
