Poll: Young people think Trump is racist, dishonest, 'mentally unfit for office'
As President Donald Trump's approval ratings ebb and flow, a new poll reveals a negative view of the commander in chief among America's youngest populations. The new AP/MTV poll reveals a slim 33 percent of Americans ages 15 to 34 approve of Trump's White House perfrmance (Cont'd)

"He doesn’t seem to be really for women.
He doesn’t seem to be for DACA," 23-year-old Meghan Carnes told AP.
"He doesn’t seem to be for the kids worried about guns.
It’s extremely disappointing to have a president who doesn’t seem to care."
e's proved that many times already. It seems that he uses DACA as a leverage tool to get what he wants whether or not it is good for the country, or its people.
And what's funny is how much he sucks at actually using any leverage he has. He held DACA hostage and got... nothing for it lol.
He has presented himself as this great businessman and fools bought it and thought he could run America like a great business. In the first place you can not run America like a Business. That is stupid because a business does not have to plan for all of the contingencies of a nation like wars, earthquakes, hurricanes, helping allies under attack or going through their own disasters. Besides every single business he has ever run he has run it into the ground!
Want to gamble at a Trump casino? Order a Trump Steak at one? Sip some Trump vodka at one? Graduate from Trump University? No legitimate bank will touch him for any of his real estate projects, but they go on, financed with money from sanctioned Russian banks and Oligarchs and with money laundered through Deutsch bank in Cypress, famous for drug money and hidden riches from taxes by the billions from mega wealthy Americans and Russians. There has never been an American administration with even this close to this many Russian contacts, that is this in bed with people in it talking to and meeting with people that they KNOW are Russian intelligence agents! And his supporters put up with it? When did the middle Americans who put up with it become Russians? When did they sell out to our enemy? When did Trump supporters become traitors to their own country?
And he should not be for it
DACA was not a partisan idea until Trump made it so. We should expell the alt-right and keep those immigrant children and teens.
Exactly. Deport 'the trump base' and Make America--America Again!
That does not mean daca still isn't a bad idea. I have zero tolerance for those that broke our laws to be here. I have even less tolerance for those that are here illegally and demand special considerations .
Just what were thousands of children brought here by their parents supposed to have done about being here?
Went back as soon as they could and not make demands for things they have no right to
DACA recipients didn't break the law. They were incapable of giving or denying consent.
Are they here and did they come here contrary to the immigration laws of this country? yes they are and did. They go back.
Do they get to make demands of us? No they don't.
Trump disagrees with your proclamation.
Trump said DACA was "a very, very difficult subject" for him and that he wanted to "deal with DACA with heart."
Trump tweeted: Congress, get ready to do your job - DACA!
so? I do not necessarily agree with everything he says or does .That is why I am not a liberal. I can think for myself and don't need anybody to tell what I should believe and think like those on the left do.
Deport citizens. Alrighty then.
We'll build a time machine and send them back to 1855 or 1939, whichever they prefer. Building the time machine creates R&D jobs that will spread technology to many other areas. Sending those racists and bigots back to where they came from will move the country ahead 20 years.
When we finish sending the bigots back we will send the religious fundamentalists back to the 12th century so they can take part in the crusades.
DACA was a partisan issue when Obama said over and over that a DACA EO was Unconstitutional and that he could not do it....until he did.
WOW!!!! Hatred has truly engulfed you.
Why should we let that group turn the clock back on others and make them second class citizens because of their bigotry? The Klan wants white supremcy so we'll send them back to live in a pre civil war parallel world. The Neo-Nazis get to live in a parallel world of 1939. Fundamentalists Christians get to live out their dream of rapturist war between Christians and Muslims.
They are happy and the 21st century world can move forward without their hatred of others.
There has been hatred of all sorts, by every race, creed, culture, etc, since the beginning of time. Should we just turn the clock back to just before the big bang, and let it stop there? That will be the only way you will rid this universe of hate.
MAAA!!
And just what demands would those be?
Make America -America again.
Make America White Again! Many of these Daca kids have married and have children who have been born in the United States of America and are America citizens. We can not, by law, deport them. What do we do with them?
Shoot them? Set up some sort of death camps? I wonder if we can still get some of the ovens from Dachau?
In terms of breaking laws-- how would you compare the actual record of DACA recipients to that of the average American when it comes to law-breaking?
I don't know and I don't care. Savage recipients do not belong here and have no legal right to remain here.
Do you reward the children of extortionists, kidnappers and other thieves by allowing them to keep the proceeds of their parents bad acts? Should Bernie Maddoff Family been able to keep the millions he took? What makes daca any different.
???????
So Trump is the one that created the false deadline. Now he blames others and dumps the problem in their lap.
Wow, you've got that backwards. It's conservatives who acquiesce to everything he says and does.
Those 'on the left' are just as capable of independent thought as you claim you are.
Lie.
Democrats wanted 800,000, and Trump offered up 1.8 Million, and was turned down.
Remind me who Denied DACA kids again, because of a simple wall ?
Kids spout the dimmest things, after they've been told what to think !
cough, cough,
There's nothing simple about Trumps wall, except for the concept.
And the fact that it's a fantasy. And a stupid idea in the first place.
who TOLD YOU that ?
Everyone thinks donald rump is racist, dishonest and mentally unfit for office except for his supporters.
Is it surprising to anybody that the same demographic is some of the very people eating Tide Pods? And they expect to be taken seriously.
Do you really want to get into generation bashing? I have A LOT to say about the boomers...
Is that supposed to bother me? For that to happen it would mean that I care what you have to say.
The 15-34 demographic radically changed America in the late 1960's and early 1970's. I know. I was there and was one of them.
I'm a boomer. We blew it. Some of us became the old farts we swore we would never be! But this generation is rocking and I'm more hopeful than I've been in years. I do apologize for my generation, we dropped the ball and became the establishment and made it worse.
Besides their precious MAGA hats what do well dressed Trumpsters wear to gop klan rallies?
Well, Depends /S...
Please note that I did not make mention of good linens that always go missing down South...
Nothing pleases me more than olde Trumpsters admitting their contempt for human decency.
Only difference is most boomers have actually grown up, matured and became responsible adults. Exactly what those in the 15-35 demographics do when they then turn to conservatism when they realize papa government is not going to save them at every turn.
The baby boomers left behind are the leftover hippies of the 60s that still think constant weed smoking and "resistance" is the way to success.
Merely pointing out that your attempt to paint an entire generation in a certain light is fucking stupid, and you cared enough to respond.
They spout what their "Smart Phones" tell them.
Geez, why? You're not responsible for everyone who is the same age as you.
Merely pointing out that your attempt to paint an entire generation in a certain light is fucking stupid, and you cared enough to respond
It's not painting anybody in any way. It's a fact.
Just talked to one my old college SDS buddies a few weeks ago. Rock Chalk Jayhawks!
This 63 yo can't stand Trump either.
This 55 year old cannot stand trump either. Never liked blow-hard me me pompous asses.
Time to get out the vote folks! Can't be complacent again.
Selective much? They're ALSO the same demographic VOLENTEERING for our military.
You say that like it's a good thing. Being I just retired from the military, many don't contribute much. Many come in with the attitude that they are owed something and don't last long when they realize that there is actual stressful, dangerous work to be done.
Although there are some that do well enough to have some kind of much needed discipline instilled in them.
After 9/11 many liberals joined the military because they heard that the guvment would pay for their education. When they learned they actually had to work, many of them got out on OTH. I was on the Kennedy at the time and my division went from 65 men and women to over 90 by mid 2002, then dropped back to the 70 less than 6 months later. Most that left were those that joined after 9/11.
After 9-11 many Americans, from all political leanings joined the United States military to be part of it's defense as happened after Pearl Harbor. Their individual motivations is none of your damned business. The fact that they joined to serve is enough. They deserve to be honored for that alone.
What an insult to the thousands that served, got injured or killed. Wow
You and Randy can say what you want. Your opinion mean nothing to me. I, as a twenty year Navy veteran, was witness to many people who joined because of the GI bill, nothing else. When many of them found out that joining the military actually included maybe getting shot at, they did stupid shit to get kicked out or an OTH.
Of course, you are trying to berate me for what you THINK I said, or how your handlers explained it to you, but if a brain cell would fire, you would see that I was speaking about those that joined simply for the free shit, many of whom continue to do so today in the name of liberalism.
This is what I know. My husband is Marine Corps. It was a real plus that he would get college paid for. It was a real plus that the G.I. Bill picked up the costs for our first home.
At what rank? You know what they say, there are no bad troops, just bad leadership.
And "what they say" is as accurate as the polls at the last election.
Would you mind repeating that in English?
How hard is it to understand. The LWNJ exploited again.
OWS fell victim to winter.
A few? This article is from January 2018;
I'm sure you'll let us know if any of the Parkland survivors/activists do that, right? (What a fucking irrelevant, stupid and cowardly and now worn-out, attack this has been).
I merely replied to cjcold's Tide Pod comment 2.4 by giving him facts.
That was in the spring and what they annihilated was the GOP. Just ask Boehner et al.
Comment removed CoC violation [ph]- that astroturf party funded by the Koch brothers?
What's wrong? You upset the right is using a left tactic without asking?
It's kids a whole hell of a lot younger then boomers who are doing that. Do some research before you say something that stupid please.
What research. This IS the generation that is eating Tide Pods and can't figure out which bathroom to use. That level of stupidity should not be taken seriously on any level.
So a whole generation is eating Tide pods and walking into the wrong restroom? Don't think so.
Didn't start with my generation.
I wouldn't say he is necessarily racist, but he definitely appeals to those elemen ts of our society. However, dishonest? That is putting it mildly, the guy is a pathological liar without question. He lies when the truth would serve him better, he creates situations just to lie. Honestly I am not even sure he realizes when he is lying. And mentally unfit, well yeah. Dunning Kruger Effect walking.
I certainly would! If he panders to racists (as he does) , then he deserves the label himself.
In what way do you believe he panders to racists? Isn't it possible that a racist could agree with him on some issue without Trump being/pandering to racists? For example, both Trump and Bill Clinton have made major speeches on the evils of illegal immigration, but only Trump was accused of pandering to racists for it.
Unspoken racism is the glue that holds Trumpism together.
The way NT Trumpists tap-dance around the topic is pathetic to the point of unintentional humor.
Unspoken?
More like imagined.
It doesn't surprise me that some people believe that Bill Clinton's 1995 SOTU wasn't racist but when Trump says basically the same thing, he is racist:
(CNN) -
This video is a fun watch. Clinton and Obama making "racist" comments about illegal aliens while Trump agrees with their illegal alien policies:
(C-Span2) -
The King of the Birthers is most definitely a racist. That's why the alt-right loves him and he loves them.
Well, there you have it. Sad yet true. Strait up and to the point. Kudos, JBB...
I think he went too far with Obama's birth certificate nonsense, but why is it racist? People questioned Ted Cruz and John McCain's (both were born outside the U.S) eligibility for office without being racist.
You calling Hillary a man? I hope, for your sake, she doesn't find out. Afterall , it was her and her merry band of 2008 misfits that started the birther movement
Ted Cruz stoked the birther fires to get support, so people questioned his eligibility due to the fact that he was born in Canada.
Nobody with more than a dozen functional neurons believed that John McCain was not a US citizen. He might have been born outside of the 50 states but was only because his father was in the military so he was obviously a US citizen.
Nope, not true at all. Nice try.
Nobody with more than a dozen functional neurons believed Obama was not a US citizen... Sure, 30% of Republicans still believe he was not a citizen, but that doesn't make the prior statement untrue.
Well, yea...
Now do what you are programmed to do and post the liberal "fact check" sites that you want to say other wise.
Just like donald rump - lies, lies, and more lies.
That's one of the primary traits of a sociopath, along with an utter lack of remorse when his lies are exposed. Whether something is the truth or a lie is irrelevant to a sociopath.....all that matters is whether the statement benefits him.
I am a Vietnam Veteran so I am not young. None-the-less, if you would have asked me thirty years ago what I thought of DJT I would have told you that he's a liar, cheat and a fraud. He hasn't changed a bit. But, Russian propaganda has appeal to the weak and insipid who also inhabit our nation.
I am 61 and a Vietnam Era Vet (I was never in country) and I agree with you. I still would have thought of Trump as a racist, a liar, a cheat and a fraud. Not because I am a Democrat, but simply because that is what he is. Back then I was in the Air Force and I supported Gerald Ford (he was the Congressman from my District back in Michigan), a Republican, because I knew he was an honest Moderate who worked across the aisle to do what he honestly thought was best for America, instead of being hostile to the Democrats and thinking of only the GOP first! Yes I hated the war and protested it before I joined the Air Force, but still thought it was my duty to serve.
Where are the Gerald Fords in the GOP? Do they even exist any longer, because if they are gone, then the GOP is doomed to die.
Considering you say, "I am 61 and a Vietnam Era Vet", that would likely make you a member of the HS class of '75 which could get you over the line for Vietnam Era but you should not have been subjected you to the draft. Not that it this matters and "Thank you for your service", excepting in that would indicate that you volunteered at a time when few were volunteering. I am a bit older than you and my friends who had been to Vietnam almost entirely against their own choosing universally advised me against signing up. My generation was the first in my family to skip out on military service. I was the oldest of many son who at draft age were not subjected to draft requirements and personally I consider that a blessing. People forget what forced subscription was like...
It would have made me the class of '75, but I dropped out after 10th grade in '73. The draft was over then and I was 17 in July that year. Back then you could still join as a high school drop out if you scored high enough on your ASFAB test. It was the 1st year the Air Force used the ASFAB test for entry and it was a series of timed tests over about 6 subjects that took about 3 hours. For instance the Math you would have to complete the portion in a certain amount of time and so and so forth. If you were a high school drop out you had to score an 85 percentile in order to be accepted. I score a 93 percent so I passed.
I passed my physical the same day except for one thing, I was too skinny. I was 5' 6" and only weighed 105 lbs and the minimum was 110. So they told me to go home and put some weight on and come back. I went home to my dad and step-mother and she packed me full of pork chops and milk shakes and ham and every fattening thing she could think of for a few weeks. She had me eating the whole time I was awake! Five weeks later I went back to Detroit and weighed in at 111 and 1/4 pounds and was sworn in that day and was off to Lackland AFB three days later on Friday the 31st of August, 1973. I was far and away the smallest, skinniest, youngest kid in my flight, Hell I didn't even shave. I stood out like a sore thumb. I looked like a runaway Boy Scout. Still I managed to graduate tied for top man in my flight in an Honor flight 6 weeks later. Someone forgot to tell me it was impossible for me to do, so I did it anyway. Being as I served my full 4 years until August 30th 1977 I have never had to apply for the draft and have never had a draft card. To tell the truth I'm not even sure what one looks like?
Skirting CoC {SP}
It sure does. Randy is articulate, intelligent and has a thought process that seems to offend those that have limited amount of those that artributes. And only a 10th grade education, imagine if he was a high school grad. He'd be another Hawkings.
They must really wanted you out of the house bad.
Skirting {SP}
Oh my god the LWNJ have been saying this for the last 10 years. Did you learn it from them?
The politics in Michigan and of the GOP overall have both changed for the worse since the era of Ford and Romney. Sad.
When Grover Norquist had the party by the short hairs, I would have agreed with you, but they seem to be doing fine now. I used to be a Democrat and that party has moved radically to the Left. That's where I see the biggest changes ideologically. I don't think it's sustainable.
WTF?? Do you really consider a person's formal education level to be so significant after forty years of additional real-world experience?
It seems to me that at our
advancedmature age, the important thing is what we are able to produce now , not what we did in a classroom a half-century ago.Yes it does. I was in the Air Force as well. I didn't know anyone 16 years old who was in the Air Force during the time I was active.
2018 minus 61 years old is a person born in 1957 and will be 61 years old by the end of 2018.
1973 minus 1957 would have been a person that was 16 years old by the end of 1973.
The military, including the Air Force, wasn't actively enlisting, at least as early as 1974. They were motivated to lower the number of service members instead of enlisting more.
You can join at 17 years old with parental consent.
The Vietnam War ended April 1975.
I'm sure there's a misunderstanding in the dates and Randy can clear this up.
Randy would have been 17 in 1974, he said he was a Vietnam "era" (never in country) veteran, who enlisted a year before the end of the war. It seems to all add up based on what he's said.
I don't know what was said before because it was deleted as violations, but thank you Kavika for coming to my defense whatever they were saying. Even if I think you may have over sold me some.
They must really wanted you out of the house bad.
Actually I lived with my Mother and Step-father in Battle Creek at the time I was trying to enlist, but both of my parents knew that this had been my dream for years and (no offense to my Mother) my step-mother was just plain a better cook and wanted the job, so I moved in with her and dad.
Sure he would, but he said he went in the Air Force August of 1973.
The numbers don't add up. 2018 - 61 = 1957 year of birth.
1973 - 1957 = 16 years old by the end of 1973.
Doesn't matter. I know Randy was in the Air Force at some time, but based on the information he provided he would have been 16 years old when he went in, but I know he was in based on all the things I've read that he has written in the past.
I'm not challenging his intellect either. I know he is a smart fellow as well. I guess I'm a stickler for things adding up correctly. Maybe he's trying to think young will make it so. LOL As we get older sometimes we wonder just how old we really are.
Easily. I was born on July 16th 1956. Which meant that I turned 17 on July 16th 1973. I am 61 years old and will be 62 this July 16th. The Paris Peace accords had been signed that spring (1973), but as we all know the Vietnam War didn't really end until Saigon fell in April of 1975. I went to the recruitment center in Detroit the week after my birthday in July of 1973 after having bugged the local recruiter (SSGT Bill Agnew) in Battle Creek for months until my birthday. At the time you could join at the age of 17, as a high school drop out, without a GED, if you scored 85% or above on your ASFAB test and passed the physical and had both of your parents permission. I already had my parents permission as they knew I really wanted it and I passed the ASFAB with a 93%. I passed the physical, except as I said for the fact that I didn't weigh enough for my height. I needed to weigh 110lbs and only weighed 105lbs.
I moved in with my dad and stepmother, Marcia, who was a wonderful cook and a wonderful person (She passed away this past fall and I considered her to be as much of a mother to me as my biological mother. I loved her dearly and miss her very, very much.). She managed to pack on the necessary pounds and by the end of August I went back to the induction center in Detroit and all I had to do was to pass the weight as I had already done everything else (I ate a ton of bananas at the hotel that morning just to be sure). I weighed in at 111 and 1/4 pounds and was sworn into the Air Force Ready Reserves that day, August 27, 1973 and a few days later on August 31st 1973 I was at Lackland AFB for my first day of Basic Training.
If you want more detail I was in Flight number 1176 in the 3707 Basic Military Training Squadron (BMTS) and graduated October 15th. I was then, after 2 weeks in Casual Squadron awaiting orders, transferred to Sheppard AFB in Wichita Falls, TX, to the Computer Operator Tech School. I graduated from that school on January 30th and went home on leave for two weeks and then reported to the computer section of the 321 Combat Support Group which was shortly after my arrival transferred to the command of the 321st Strategic Missile Wing. I served in that capacity until August 30th 1977 when I was Honorably discharged into the Air Force Inactive Reserves. Two years later I was discharged from the Inactive Reserves. In order to be a Vietnam Era Veteran you have to have served a total of 181 days or more of active duty between the dates of August 5th, 1964 and May 3rd, 1975. So I am a Vietnam Era Veteran since I had served considerably more then 181 days before Saigon fell.
Now is there any other fucking thing you want to question me about to see if I am telling the truth about being in the Air Force when I said I was or do you want to find a way to call me a liar???
Oh and as I promised my father for him signing for me I got my GED from the North Dakota Department of Education in 1975 by taking classes at the base education office and the test at the University of North Dakota at Grand Forks.
No and I didn't call you a liar in the first place. It was I who made the wrong calculation and I'm sorry.
A simple misunderstanding. No harm, no foul and we're still good friends as far as I am concerned Six.
Same here Randy, good friends. I guess my math skills are failing me. That was all I was questioning, nothing else. You remember much more about all the other information than I could possibly tell you today about my dates, squadrons and other information. And also after getting it straight in my mind, I realize you joined the Air Force at your very first opportunity. You couldn't have joined any earlier than you did.
Even though we have our differences, I still care about you as a friend and want you to realize many others feel the same way. We know you are a good person with a good heart and don't ever forget that.
Talk to me after the midterms.
Seems Democrats have been saying "talk to me after the elections" for a while now.
We heard it before the elections of 2012, 2014, and 2016.
I'm impressed. High school drop out but they sent you to computer operator school. You must have aced the math part of the ASFAB.
Today you almost have to have a MS in Computer Engineering just to be a data entry operator in the Air Force.
These polls of young people not only spell trouble for President Trump, but for the Republican Party as a whole. These younger voters and potential voters are not syncing with republican policies. The rigidity of republican officeholders will spell doom for them in 2018 and beyond.
The vast majority of these young people will not show up and vote. The Republicans will be very energized in the local elections, the only ones that really count.
They seem to be charged up. Pretty sure they will be voting this time around.
Young people think Trump is racist, dishonest, 'mentally unfit for office'
Though it has been some time since I was considered young, I concur.
For first tine in a long time I look at the young people as not just a group of consumer crazies, more concerned with the latest Apple device then the social order or politics. I see in these kids what I used to see in the social activism of the kids of the the late 1960's and early 1970's. The kids that surrounded me. However I hope they do a much better job then we did and I strongly suspect that they will. Through the internet and social media they are much more organized and communicate faster and more in real time then we could. To those who scoffed at the idea that those kids could put together such a rally worldwide without professional help wake the fuck up, they can and did and they will again if need be. They are bigger and stronger then you are or then we are. They are worldwide. They are truly a force to reckoned with and not one to be pushed in one direction or anther by either political stripe.
They give me such pride and hope!
I just hope they are well rested and ready, we are handing them off a mess and then some. Hopefully they'll do a better job of it than we did.
The new chant of the left.
They ignore the fact that the Gomez girl admits she picked on and ridiculed Cruz but hey now she wants to ban guns and the LWNJ love her.
Hogg is so confused he can't get his stories right but cried when he found out that the school implemented a clear backpack policy that it infringed on his 1st amendment rights but hey he thinks the 2nd amendment should be abolished and the LWNJ love him.
source?
More RW conspiracy BS. They have no conscience.
try you tube
No, that's not how this works. You make a claim, you provide the link.
Or shame, or morals, or common decency
Try posting support for your allegation instead of telling a member to go fish.
Sounds about right.
That's been the liberal mantra of the last year and a half, and it means no more now that the first time someone said it. Ya need some new material.
Speaking of ''needing new material'', I'd suggest that you might try for some new material yourself...Your inability to comment with anything resembling a coherant thought process is a drag on NT.
Smile your on Candid Camera.
And it's no less true. In fact, it's even more true now after seeing a year of this commander-incompetent in action.
They are only mouthing what they read and see on social media. They love parades, protests and costumes.
Yes Mango, Trump being a pathological liar and total con artist has absolutely nothing to do with it, obviously.
Hi Leno. That description fits a host of others. Again, most young people mouth what is popular. Do yourself a favor and visit a H,S. campus and see what's coming down.
The latest despicable deplorable no good lousy conspiracy theory is that Parkland student leader David Hogg (The Attention Whore -There words not mine) MUST have been in on the shooting and a conspirator with the nasty little perp since it is obvious he benefited from the massacre. First the nutters claimed that Hogg was not even a student at Parkland and that he was a crisis actor. When that blew up in their faces the same crap for brains conspiracy quacks falsely claimed that Hogg was not even at school that day and was thus not a survivor. That too turned out to be a big olde lie. When that failed they resorted to calling Hogg names like "Commie", "Nazi" along with the aforementioned "Attention Hog" among other unflattering things including questioning Hogg's sexuality on nationally sendicated right wing talk shows. That is low down as it gets for a kid. Now when all else failed the right wing hate factory will not be undone. Hogg and his family are receiving death threats. What did Hogg do, you might ask, to gain all of this vitriol? He advocated for the same sensible gun control measures advocated by about seventy percent of all Americans. Remind you, Hogg is a 17 year old Senior in high school who just lose seventeen of his classmates thrusting him into the national spotlight. He deserves a parade but the gop gives him the finger. It wasn't me who first asked this, but at long last has the goddamn alt right of the damn gop no decency at all?
None whatsoever, buddy, and they have conclusively proven this long before Trump. As dumbfounding as it seems that so many people can support a nightmare like Trump, supporting the Republican party at all, even before Trump, is not much easier to understand. They are nothing but a completely amoral gang of corporate thugs.
Only the right wing is still beating that dead horse. Everyone else moved on long ago. The right would like to keep that myth alive as a cover story to throw over everything Mueller digs up or every time Trump fucks up...which is often.
Here are the problems with polls:
1) They interview a small sample size, then apply the results of that sample size to ALL Americans. When you only interview 1000 people and apply the results to over 300 million people, then you are not going to have accurate results. Oh, they put in an artificial error range (usually 3% up and down from the hard results from those 1000 people). However, you are still applying the results of a small sample to everyone in the United States without stating where these 1000 people actually live. I know from living in both Pennsylvania and Oregon that the views of even Conservatives in either place do not actually fully mesh, let alone between Conservatives in Centre County, PA with Liberals in Benton County, OR.
2) The questions usually asked by the pollsters are actually loaded to get a desired result rather than open-ended to get an accurate result. Just read the following paper that I found with a simple search:
3) Polls are cited almost as if they were gospel. If you look at the news, they will come out with a supposed poll result to show what people think. The problem is that polls actually do not show what people think. Some people will deliberately answer with the opposite of what they think the pollsters want, and others will answer with what they think the pollsters want. Those answers cannot be removed or isolated as people cannot read minds in general. Yet, the media goes through and makes entire news stories about what polls are saying about politicians, the direction of the country, and any other issues that they think people want to hear opinions about as if they are hard facts instead of malleable impressions.
So, no one should put any faith into any poll result. We saw this in 2016, when Trump trailed in nearly every single poll except the one that mattered on Election Day, which is the actual vote. And, please, do not try to say he lost the popular vote; because ALL of that difference came from California, and we do not know how many illegals were given the chance to vote there as estimates say 13% of the illegal immigrant population lives in California and they do not distinguish between a US Citizen and an illegal immigrant there.
Considering where these people get their news, it's not surprising they think so little of the president.
Why should the media be part of Trump's PR staff, like Fox News and the conservative echo-chamber?
I get my news from the BBC/NPR and various print sources.
Try OANN.net (One America News Network's website), while they show some support of Trump, they ae mainly about reporting the news as unbiasedly as possible. I usually take time out to watch their TV channel for The Daily Ledger. Graham Ledger is a Constitutionalist and makes his comments based on that viewpoint. He has been highly critical of Congress overall for their lack of effort regarding their promises and at times critical of Trump for his signing of the Omnibus and a few other pieces of legislation and proposed ideas. Sadly, OANN's TV channel is not available outside of DirectTV for now as far as I know.
Feeling you did seem to mind that the msm was essentially the pr staff for Obama and the Clinton's .
Your news source has an innate bias.
I find it hilarious that y'all cheer the ratings of FOX [Trump TV] and in the same breath desperately try to pretend that it isn't part of the MSM.
Actually saw every media outlet begging to interview Trump the media whore.
Of course it has, since the other 93% are anti-Trump, it should rise in popularity among Trump supports as the Washington Post is anti-Trump and every article they put out is like looking at CNN or MSNBC, they appeal to the anti-Trumpers.
ALL news sources have innate biases. I just find from watching OANN that they are far more neutral than the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, etc.
And the right has found theirs.
Apparently they don't spend enough time watching Fox or reading Pravda or Breitbart.
All it takes is listening to a minute of him to make me nauseous.
For me, it's not so much the sound of Trumps' voice that upsets my stomach, it's the endless garbage that comes out of it.
It's really no different than what come out of Obama's, Clinton's or Bush's mouths. Politicians lie and have done it for a very long time. But for some reason, suddenly, this one matters.
But, at this point, what difference does it make?
A lot. Trump is the biggest detriment to America and its people as a whole over any other President in history. He is in the process of ruining America as a world leader and all that our country stands for. He is making a sham out of the Statue of Liberty and the democracy that this country has upheld since its inception, and the freedoms that millions of American men and women have sacrificed their lives to defend.
However, Trump would never understand that, as he has never served, nor sacrificed anything for the country that he now leads.
History will not be kind to him, or those who kiss his azz for their own personal gain at the expense of this country and its people.
My opinion.
Don't accuse people of being something they are not when you know NOTHING about them personally. I am not affiliated with any political party, thus my eyes and brain are not blinded by mere party loyalty, therefore, I can think for myself.
And NO political party is perfect, nor is any one party the answer to all that is lacking in America. Conservatives once has a strong agenda that was geared toward what is best for America and its people, as did the Democrats. However, over the years, and especially in the last 20 years, both sides have aborted the agendas that gave their party any real credibility for the pathetic games of personal gain and political position stability. They use the American people like empty headed puppets, lying to them to get their votes, then laughing at them all the way to the bank, handing out just enough crumbs to keep the people from rebelling.
NEITHER party is worth the powder to blow it to Hell, and the politicians have become so corrupt and devious that they shame the people who lamely put their trust in them, and the country, whose allegiance they are supposed to put first above their own pockets and political allegiance. And those who applaud and defend those who don't do that are just as guilty. As they do not hold them to account for their actions, but, encourage them to do so by defending them and continuing to give them their support.
If the American people do not start holding the politicians accountable for their abuse of their office, including those of their own political party, then that makes them as guilty of helping destroy the democracy that this country was founded on.
And if you are going to make accusations abut others, then make damned sure you have your facts straight, or it is YOU who looks the fool.
Just my own 2 cents worth.
Quickly recovering economy, bringing jobs back, tax cut for the citizens. That's really detrimental. But you overlook the last administration arming drug lords, negotiating with terrorists and the enemy. I think you really should re-evaluate what is detrimental and what is working.
Sorry honey but what is doing that is the liberal mindset.
My opinion.
"Sorry honey but what is doing that is the liberal mindset. "
First....as I am NOT married to you...DO NOT call me HONEY! All Stop!
Second....your own mindset is that of an ignorant person whose own allegiance has been given over to a political party above all else.
The economy does not become good or bad over night, or even over a few months. Anyone with any real knowledge of economics and how growth of a country works would know that. Obviously, you simply follow the banter of your chosen party. I was once a Republican myself, so I know how the party has deteriorated over the years.
And I see that you did not address what I said, only to simply post a personal, sexist attack at me.
Disgusting!
Yes mom.
Yeah, keep thinking that.
Yes, the economy takes time to recover. The previous administration had 8 years and nothing. Now I will give the last administration credit. They did give this new administration a start point. Rock bottom is a start point after all.
You take it as a personal (sexist is laughable) attack. That's something for you to deal with. It's not my problem.
And yet another sexist and personal attack.
Jeremy,
Do not call Raven anything but Raven. She is not your honey, and not your mom. Only warning.
The sound of his voice irritates me, but the thing that irritates me the most is the way he speaks. He repeats himself at least 2-3 times, uses the same adjectives and adverbs ad nauseum, and has no vocabulary at all. I know 10 year olds with better speaking abilities.
He is not a public speaker and I wish he would realize this and get some help
I saw the premier of his reruns, he needs to repeat, as that is the way his base learns.
Besides, those ten year olds are his future next wives.
.
N Jeremy honey, I believe Raven deserves a bit more respect.
I'm single, if you want to swing, but my boyfriend doesn't swing that way, since he divorced my ex wife, cause she wasn't an X man. Y degrade female posters,
when
you could grade me, on a curve, straight away banking to the center due to lack of interest.
u can call me anything you like, as i adopt many names and posters, to foster their development, surrounded by open gates, as I live in a gated community, where no oh fences can stretch around my no boundaries, that are clearly marked, with camouflaged transparent flags, that I can't ever see,
wear to where my blinders when speaking braille to a smooth Brazilian
times, I felt I rubbed one the wrong way
cause
im happy n gay that way, but in my own les miserable way
.that broke a scale off a fish to weigh which way I should say what I sometimes due
over n over till under n under standing where I stood
but
without understanding what few can be understood to understand when I feel like being understandably
not understood, it is for the best n all is good unless I missed the pointless point I wasn't a tempting to make, as im not a maker,
but I do like to be a taker, of abuse I n joy it probably too much
theres something weird about a bad fish that we hear with his pants so hard,
and around his tale, of not so Wells Fargone
,
besides, we know now what trout was giggling about
like Sponge Bob once said while absorbing,
is that a plankton in your pocket, and why isn't in a front pocket ?
I thought that was your goal.
For some that "Hillary LOST Butt Hurt" will never heal.....................
For some the claiming that that's what's happening every time Mueller indicts someone else or get's a guilty plea or flips someone or turns up a new Russian connection or a new porn star or playboy model comes out saying that Trump paid her off to keep quiet about screwing her while married or that one of his cabinet members is caught with their hands in the treasury cookie jar stealing American taxpayer money, that Trump or his defenders always fall back on that same tired bullshit line that it's "Just the Democrats complaining because they lost the last election" which has grown so old as a cover for them to hide their crimes under. It's grown too old. That election is too far away. Come up with a new pity excuse, because that one is worn out. No one believes it any longer because it's not true. Grow the fuck up and join the real world for once instead of constantly whining.
Poll: Young People Think Trump Is Racist, Dishonest, 'Mentally Unfit For Office'
Trump Is Racist
Among other things, led the racist birther movement for years, long after the conspiracy theory had been completely disproven. Trump is either a racist himself, or decided to please the racists by leading their insane 'quest' to prove Obama was born in Africa.
Dishonest
Trump has lied to the American people literally hundreds of times. He's such a pathological liar that he will even lie about things no one cares about. You have to be a complete idiot to believe that Trump is not a constant liar.
Mentally Unfit
"In order to meet the criteria of having Narcissistic Personality Disorder , he would have to have demonstrated at least five of the following criteria. Let’s see how he did.
1 . Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance .
If you remember, at the Republican National Convention, Trump laid out his view of a dystopian America and then said, “Only I can fix it.” Today, he said that we’re becoming a drug-infested nation and “we’re not going to let it happen anymore.” In talking about companies that have said they’ll keep jobs in the U.S., he said that if he hadn’t been elected, they would have left.
2 . Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it.
“There has never been a presidency that has done so much in such a short amount of time.”
3. Exaggerate your achievements and talents.
In mentioning that he won 306 electoral votes, Trump said that was the biggest electoral college win since Ronald Reagan.
4. Preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate.
On a couple of occasions he referred to the Rasmussen poll stating that his approval rating is at 55% – ignoring all other polls showing him at less than 40%. Trump also suggested that he is assembling one of the greatest cabinets in American history.
5. Believe that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people.
In referring to the 9th Circuit – which continued the stay on his travel ban – he said that it was a “bad decision by a circuit that has been overturned a record number of times. I’ve heard 80%….I think that circuit is in chaos and frankly in turmoil.”
6. Expect special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations.
Trump’s treatment of the press throughout his remarks is a demonstration of the fact that only unquestioning compliance would be suitable from his perspective. At one point he said that the leaks the press was reporting on were real, but he constantly referred to their stories about them as fake news.
7. Take advantage of others to get what you want.
On several occasions Trump brought Hillary Clinton into the conversation unsolicited. He talked about her getting debate questions ahead of time and perpetuated the lie that she had sent 20% of this country’s uranium to Russia. He also asked, “does anyone in this room think Clinton would have been tougher on Russia than me?” These were all attempts to prop himself up at Clinton’s expense.
8. Has an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others.
When asked the question about a government response to anti-semitic threats, he berated the reporter for asking the question and made it all about himself, saying, “I am the least anti-semitic person.”
As I mentioned, meeting 5 of the above criteria is the standard for diagnosing Narcissistic Personality Disorder. In just a little over an hour, Trump exhibited 8 of them. There are an additional four criteria that weren’t specifically manifest today, but we’ve seen from Trump in the past.
In addition to meeting the criteria, it must be demonstrated that the symptoms create an impairment of daily functioning. While Allen Frances , professor emeritus of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University Medical College, thinks that is not true for Trump, it is hard to overlook the chaos and dysfunction that has been the hallmark of Trump’s professional life as well as his presidency. I also find it confusing that Allen says this:
The fact that he may (or may not) have made a lot of money is beside the point. The very root of Narcissistic Personality Disorder is an attempt to deflect both pain and accountability away from oneself – which is why it is perhaps the most untreatable mental illness.
I recognize that mental health professionals are ethically prohibited from making a diagnosis. But frankly, we have all the information we need to note that this president is mentally unstable, even if we only watched this one press conference."
=================
To say that the youth of America is correct in their assessment of Trump is putting it mildly.
Malignant narcissism. Sociopath tendencies. He believes that he is the center of the world and he he has no real empathy for anyone around him. He would throw his own children under the bus if that is what it took for his own self-preservation. He thinks that what he believes is how everything has to be and that his way is the only way anything can be and can work. He is a dangerous and out here in California he would be just about close enough to be put on a 5150 as a danger to others. He is not mentally fit to be out in public without medication and therapy and certainly not mentally fit for the office he is in. Personally I would recommend in-patient treatment for at least 6 months to a year and longer depending on the results. At least until he is stabilized to some degree, because he clearly is not now.
