Polling Trump's popularity doesn't match the popularity of his agenda?
Washington Post:
The polling companies that came closest to getting the vote right were using telephone polls where people punched a number to give their preference. When they are not talking to someone who might argue with them they have no problem supporting Trump. That is why Trump is at 50 percent approval now in the Rasmussen poll.
That polling firm was one of the few that pegged the results of 2016. At least now the polls are getting a clue of this phenomena with the polling on the economy.
Independent voters like the Trump economy. But is that enough to win their vote?The reason Trump may not be personally popular is because the media has demonized him from day one and continues to demonize him. That is the reason the polls were so far off when he got elected.
The Republican Party is facing a conundrum in the midterm elections: While Americans feel good about the economy, the president's approval ratings remain at anemic levels.
