I always find it interesting that I or anyone I know ever gets invited to these polls... Then again, I don't have have a Facebook or social media outside of forums. I wouldn't be surprised if these so called approval ratings are biased or easily manipulated. I also wouldn't be surprised if most people who would approve of Trump are probably happy making a living and don't have time to seek these polls.

Looks that way to me. They're talking about popularity by state and 1500 ÷ 50 = 30 people per state polled. I mean if I hadn't gotten that from Gallup Poll's own website, I wouldn't believe it.

So just to be clear, the president's approval rating, which so many go on and on about, is apparently based on a phone call made to an average of 30 people per state.

lmao
