don't accept the new hype from The Hill that approval for impeachment is falling in polls

[Grasswire2]

Look at this complete review of current polls!

Almost every poll shows approval up --- WAY up in many.

1. Thanks. Good

[Grasswire2]

5. These numbers are truly amazing and heartening!

Push back on media whining now about a long process. Hurrying only serves GOP.

[standingtall]

2. I don't trust any poll The Hill is involved with in the first place

never have. I'm glad their paper has finally been exposed as a right wing rag.

[RVN VET71]

15. It's a vile rag, linked hip and thigh to Trump

I hardly gave it notice until some little snippet of a pseudo-journalist lacking in shame as well as decency put up an ugly and thoroughly ignorant screed about Federal workers during the last Trump government shut-down:// They (Federal workers) don't do anything anyway, doncha know. So if they don't get paid for ;lengthy periods of time, hey, that's taxpayer money that won't be wasted! These Federal employees all they do is drain taxpayer dollars for those cushy benefits and unbelievable salaries and sit on their butts all day. //

Yeah, that sort of "journalistic insight". I'm sure the junior propagandist who wrote it is well on her way up the ladder of dishonest success.

(Yeah, full disclosure: I am a retired Federal worker. 32 years in civilian and 2 years in military service to my country. And, sure, there are some Federal workers who just slide by, just as there are some journalists who lie and fabricate and offer up feces as stuff of wisdom and truth. But the vast majority of journalists and government employees have higher goals and higher standards than those exhibited by The Hill.)

28. You have a perfect right

To express your opinion of a sleazy opinion writer.

After listening to the dedicated professionals that work so hard every day to protect us then watching Trump destroy careers right and left to cover his sleaziness I am sick to death of the crummy, right wing Politicians and toadies that follow them.

GW basically did the same thing on a smaller scale. Corruption in the Republican Party is a pusy slime that slithers over all of us.

Clean up on Aisles 1 through 20!

3. I'd only seen an online poll saying approval was down and we know what goes on with those.

I was confident it could only go up after the last two days. Look what you must desperately have to want to pretend to think otherwise.

[Grasswire2]

6. did you see the numbers at the link??

They are very very heartening!

I wish I knew how to capture the graph and bring it here.

[Kid Berwyn]

4. John Solomon worked there.

Seems jobs always are available for skilled propagandists.

[TheBlackAdder]

7. Fuck The Hill. I'm surprised their articles are even allowed here.

[NCLefty]

8. I believe this one shows it lower at 538:

[Loki Liesmith]

29. One poll. Statistics folks.

[Me.]

9. Consider The Source

[budkin]

10. 538 needs to catch up

Their average has been plummeting and I started a thread on it earlier.

[dewsgirl]

11. I saw it here too, this afternoon.

[rockfordfile]

12. It seems like there are trolls trying to do gop type bs on here

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. What? Are you saying realistic Dems who look at

Trends and polls are trolls?

[XRubicon]

13. I think my local police should hire pollsters for each type of crime

For crimes that aren't popular they should let the guy go.

[orangecrush]

18. THIS +1

[uponit7771]

24. +1

[crickets]

35. Thank you! - for the sentiment and for the laugh.

[empedocles]

14. The Hill does the volume thing, with a rw tilt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. With all due respect...huh ? Did you look at the graph?

See a slight dip in No...but nothing like Oct.

Please tell me what I can't see that you can

[Grasswire2]

23. polling data. only 8 out of 38 polls are down or not up (impeachment & removal)

Thirty frigging polls show increases in respondents approving impeachment & removal!!

Plus 10
Plus 13
Plus 12

.............and 27 more!!

All of it averages out to a +2.0 increase in approval.

But thirty polls out of thirty-eight moving strongly in the right direction is HUGE NEWS

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. Call me dense but do not know where you are getting a big improvement from

The list only shows three polls that have been done since hearings started and none showed improvement unless you want to count a point or two decline in the noes with no increase in yeses?

If you are talking about an increase in support that took place prior to any hearings even beginning seems irrelevant.

That said this is way too obvious so you must be totally seeing something I am not.

[Grasswire2]

34. you must be looking at some other site, then. SMH nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. Honestly not trying to be a pain G...I am using link

You sent.

There's only been three polls out there (or listed) since hearings started..politco, NPR, and Economist. None of them went up. They either went down since last poll they did or stayed the same and had noes go down.

[orangecrush]

19. The gaslighting has started

And the closer we get to removing Trump from office, the stronger the torrent of bullshit from the right wing bullshit fire hose will get.

You ain't seen nothing yet.


DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!!

[C Moon]

20. There are members here who are sad-sacking the impeachment process.

Annoying as hell.

[certainot]

21. they keep approval down by selling the RW bullshit meme about waiting for the election

media keeps repeating it too, along with democrats. americans need to forget that shit and use whatever activism and protests needed to politically destroy gop congresspeople like nunes, jordan, coneway and the others on that committee who played the trump bullshit - to warn republican senators who plan to protect trump

[EveHammond13]

22. agree - they are using every propaganda weapon they have against us

[helpisontheway]

25. Msnbc discussing an Emerson poll that shows support for impeachment dropping. Nt

[FBaggins]

26. The Emerson poll has some concerning data... BUT

Their most recent poll also shows a 27-27 tie between Biden and Sanders that is unsupported by other polls that show a double-digit gap.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

33. Holy moly...u should see their latest trump approval #s

Way different than other polls. Think it was like 48%? approval?

[gab13by13]

27. The Hill should be boycotted by posters here,

I listened to Frank Figlusi say yesterday on Nicolle Wallace that Russian trolls and bots are active now and it's going to get worse.
Why do people constantly fall for polls? Polls are a perfect means to use propaganda.

Common sense; no way Trump's approval is 40%, it's in the 30's, I know, I did a poll of my friends.

[Delphinus]

30. Appreciate this.

Thank you.

[FM123]

31. The Hill has really gone downhill.

I am so over them now.
