Its understandable that their followers would believe that since the person who gets the most votes has won the presidency around 92% of the time.Gallup has never claimed they were polling for The EC though and never gave an EC prediction.Gallups polls consistently showed Hillary would get more votes and she got millions more votes.
Trudeau just rushed his Trade Minister down to Washington this afternoon. Third man out, weaker negotiating position now that Mexico and US have a fair bilateral deal that takes the auto sector away from Canada. Trudeau just lost any leverage he had left - he was too cute being the progressive light bringer and neglected some very basic negotiating principles. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...n-nafta-deal-possible-this-week-idUSKCN1LD1T4

Fifty six percent disapprove of Trump's job performance, up from 53% the month before. The drop in Trump's approval rating comes after a spate of bad news, including the conviction of his former campaign chairman on eight counts of fraud and a guilty plea on campaign finance charges by Trump's former lawyer, which sparked a torrent of impeachment talk. Trump also caught flak for his handling of Sen. John McCain's passing. The sharp decline also comes with the midterm elections now just over two months away. The broader IBD/TIPP Presidential Leadership Index plunged 11.6% to 40.4. That's one of the biggest monthly drops since IBD started tracking this index in January 2000. The proprietary Leadership Index combines results from several questions on approval, favorability and strength of leadership. Trump's Approval: Losing GOP Support Trump lost significant ground on job approval with Republicans this month, which fell from 83% last month to 76% this month. Among independents, Trump's approval dropped 4 points to 33%. Democratic approval has never been above the low single digits. He also saw a big drop in support from men (it went from 49% last month to 40% today). His backing among women, however, barely changed. It's currently 32%.
