Poll: Trump disapproval rating up to 60 percent
https://www.politico.com/story/2018/...ost-abc-805563
As an added bonus:
Special counsel Robert Mueller saw similar positive percentages — 63 percent of those polled said they support Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, and 29 percent said they oppose it, according to the poll. Further, 53 percent of respondents said they think Trump tried to interfere in Mueller's investigation in a way that "amounts to obstruction of justice," while 35 percent said he did not try to interfere.

"A sampling of 1003 adults" , it says. That's out of about 225 million adults in the U.S. Until I see a poll that queries all of the adults in the country, I won't believe a single thing about this poll.

Polls only matter when they support somebody's opinion around here.

As long as you hew to the demographics of your sample group(race, age,location,gender, etc), a sample of 10,000 adults would only be a tiny bit more accurate than a sample of 1,000.And there's already a +/- margin of error of 3-4% built into the survey.
And approval /disapproval ratings don't necessarily translate into votes.

Help us out.
How were those 1003 people distributed?
What was the exact wording of the questions that led you to the conclusion you arrived at? What date was the poll taken?

Apparently, polls too far away from an election don't really mean anything.

Politico.
Good news for the GOP - dems STILL living by the polls that fit their agenda.
The other day, Rosario was the biggest JERK riding horses to me.
Today, I love the guy.

Did the polls say Hillary would get 3,000,000 more votes than Donny Boy?
If so, they nailed it.

Why would they conduct a poll for an event that has no significance at all?

I believe they thought she was moving to the oval office. That was the point of the election.
