Remember when RSFC conservatives were all about a president's approval ratings?

Always chortling about Obama bumping around in the low 40s?

Why haven't you guys had much to say about this topic recently?

http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/05/politics/donald-trump-poll-job-approval/index.html

"To Trump, his poll numbers were everything. Polls showed him winning so he must be doing something right because, wait for it, he was winning. It was the ultimate self-fulfilling and self-justifying prophesy for Trump.

For as much as Trump talked about polls during the 2016 campaign, he's been nearly silent about his numbers as president. According to the absolutely indispensable Trump Twitter Tracker -- a searchable archive of all of Trump's tweets -- he's only sent seven tweets about polls since he was inaugurated on January 20."

I also remember when they ridiculed unemployment numbers.

I really like this latest bit where a couple months ago trumps people were scolding the media - you can't call it a travel ban, words have meaning and you're misrepresenting what we're trying to do.

Then trumps all like eff yeah its a travel ban!

Lol. Short memories.

Cheers.

Elementary, my dear xyz.

Liberals outnumber real Americans using the recent popular
presidential vote. Obama's approval rating was far below the ratio.

Little is to be gained by continuing to point out Obama's assholiness
unless he tops his previous record.

Trump is a buffoon, in some ways even more so than Obama, and gets a
buffoon's ratings. It is becoming more and more obvious he is not very
good at this presidenting thing.

If he just gave up his phone and stopped the Twitter nonsense, that
would stanch the bleeding. Good luck.

It would be more than I could hope that he resigns and lets Pence do it.

I don't think he really cares about the polls anymore. He got himself elected.

The only reliable polls are the ones you pay for.
The poll results people pay for and then pay to
have publicized are there to persuade the gullible.

When do you Trumpkins examine your conscience and and realize this
president is "a total and complete" jackass? Everything he and his
sycophants touch turns to shit. This exercise in populism does not seem
to be working out very well.

When the Left admits that the same applies to the prior administration.
I've seen little that Trump has done with which I would disagree.

The past 8 years has proven to me that noone can be more for the
absolute downfall of this country than Sanders and Obama without the
use of the military. So Trump comes as a welcome return to the
American way of life even though I do not endorse everything he does.

Obama was an incurable cancer on the country because he was a traitor
to the principles that made this a great country. There is no way
Trump can be that bad.

Yeah, it's not a real endorsement but more Obama socialism would have
turned a number of people into darkstars.

Which game is that? Believing that polls actually measure something meaningful? That 100% of them aren't FAKE or rigged by the MSM? I guess I am playing that game.
