Todays Gallup released poll has Trump job approval rating at 41% 538 aggregate of polls has Trump at 41.9%
Gallup doesn’t have a very good record with anything Trump and polling. Horrible in fact. I doubt that their methodology has changed since November of 2016.
Gallup consistently showed more people would vote for Hillary.Rasmussen often showed more people would vote for Trump
The next thing you’re likely to skew is that since HRC won the popular vote Gallup got the General Election right all along. Tell that to Nate Silver and the gazillion other pollsters. It’s just data.
Why do we always have to correct Tony about the polls. Its like we have to keep these links on speed dial. I checked ET for the history of the polling. Most of the polls had hillary up by very large amounts until they herded about 10 days before. We were seeing mostly ridiculous polls giving Hillary enormous leads. Some like ABC were give here double digit leads. But on the eve of the election... Rasmuessen was only bettered by one outfit. Rasmussen had Hillary plus 2 but the jem algo outfit called Hillary by one or two points but cited the work of Nate Silver saying that if the election were that close Trump could win because Hillary had excess votes in CA and New York. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...-winning-even-without-the-algo.301548/page-91 Monday, November 7 Race/Topic (Click to Sort) Poll Results Spread General Election: Trump vs. Clinton vs. Johnson vs. Stein Bloomberg Clinton 44, Trump 41, Johnson 4, Stein 2 Clinton +3 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton vs. Johnson vs. Stein IBD/TIPP Tracking Clinton 41, Trump 43, Johnson 6, Stein 2 Trump +2 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton vs. Johnson vs. Stein CBS News Clinton 45, Trump 41, Johnson 5, Stein 2 Clinton +4 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton vs. Johnson vs. Stein FOX News Clinton 48, Trump 44, Johnson 3, Stein 2 Clinton +4 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton vs. Johnson vs. Stein Reuters/Ipsos Clinton 42, Trump 39, Johnson 6, Stein 3 Clinton +3 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton vs. Johnson vs. Stein ABC/Wash Post Tracking Clinton 47, Trump 43, Johnson 4, Stein 1 Clinton +4 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton vs. Johnson vs. Stein Monmouth Clinton 50, Trump 44, Johnson 4, Stein 1 Clinton +6 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton vs. Johnson vs. Stein Economist/YouGov Clinton 45, Trump 41, Johnson 5, Stein 2 Clinton +4 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton vs. Johnson vs. Stein Rasmussen Reports Clinton 45, Trump 43, Johnson 4, Stein 2 Clinton +2 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton vs. Johnson vs. Stein NBC News/SM Clinton 47, Trump 41, Johnson 6, Stein 3 Clinton +6 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton Bloomberg Clinton 46, Trump 43 Clinton +3 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton LA Times/USC Tracking Clinton 43, Trump 48 Trump +5 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton CBS News Clinton 47, Trump 43 Clinton +4 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton IBD/TIPP Tracking Clinton 43, Trump 42 Clinton +1 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton FOX News Clinton 48, Trump 44 Clinton +4 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton Reuters/Ipsos Clinton 44, Trump 39 Clinton +5 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton ABC/Wash Post Tracking Clinton 49, Trump 46 Clinton +3 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton Monmouth Clinton 50, Trump 44 Clinton +6 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton Economist/YouGov Clinton 49, Trump 45 Clinton +4 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton NBC News/SM Clinton 51, Trump 44 Clinton +7 General Election: Trump vs. Clinton vs. Johnson vs. Stein Gravis Clinton 47, Trump 43, Johnson 3, Stein 2 Clinton +4
Every pollster was wrong about the election results - especially Gallup. Reconcile that. Faulty sampling methodologies, biased interpolation. And nothing has changed since for Gallup. They’re treating it as an aberration; a Black Swan event (which they can’t to this day explain adequately)
