Tonights CNN Poll showing that 7 out of 10 think Trumps Speech..

[busterbrown]

was positive and in the right direction? Proves that the election was not rigged or influenced by the Russians..

We live in a country filled with ignorant stupid low informed citizens..

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. But who watched it? Mostly Trumpanzees

and that's who would have been mostly polled.

[highplainsdem]

20. Exactly.

[JI7]

2. no, it doesn't have to be one or the other. it also points to the shitty media we have

the low info ignorant stupid voters does make it easy for russia, shitty media and other things things to influence people so easily though.

[BannonsLiver]

3. WE're basically fucked.

[underthematrix]

4. Give it a couple of weeks and we'll

find out they only sampled trump's base.

[Amishman]

22. After the events of the past six months I may never believe any poll again

[Buckeye_Democrat]

5. Yep.

It's sad that FDR recently passed away or he could've swayed our educated public toward reason.

[Luciferous]

19. I couldn't even finish watching that. It scares me that there are people out there

that are that ignorant...

[Buckeye_Democrat]

24. The intention might have been comedy from Kimmel, but it saddened me.

Here's another depressing one showing people who were gullible about lies regarding Hillary (while lying themselves):

[jalan48]

6. Was the poll before or after the corporate media told them how great the speech was?

[lpbk2713]

7. Are the Russians at it again?

Hacking CNN polls this time.

[BigDemVoter]

8. If it were this easy to turn a burning and sinking ship around,

Tricky Dick would have given a hell of a speech (at least not a DUMB one), and I'm sure Bill Clinton would have conjured up a entertaining yarn if it would have gotten him off the Monica hook.

Of course this is nothing. Pussy Grabber is nothing but a loud-mouthed, reality "star" (who can do whatever he likes!), and he has no FUCKING clue what to do. . . . He has no understanding of anything.

Everybody fucking hates him except the Neanderthals and the dingleberries who attach themselves to Pussy Grabber's orange ass hairs, just hoping they don't lose their job, or worse. . . .

Yes, Pussy Grabber's days are numbered. I couldn't stand life if I thought otherwise. I seriously wouldn't be able to stomach seeing Pussy Grabber "finishing" his term in anything EXCEPT profound disgrace. And by that, I want to see his fat ass in JAIL.

9. Guess you missed this part of the article

The survey, conducted among a group of Americans who said in interviews conducted before the speech that they planned to watch and agreed to be re-contacted, only reflects the views of those who watched the speech, not of all Americans.

People who choose to watch a political speech such as this one tend to be more supportive of the speaker. In this case, the pool of speech-watchers was about eight points more Republican than the population as a whole.

16. It makes sense but it created a rather misleading poll.

What was the percentage of non-Trump supporters watched? How many people actually watched and truly paid attention to the address at all? Most people I know don't actually watch it even if they 'like' the president.

When looking at a poll, the small print (like the methodology used) matters.

[Cha]

10. But, that's cnn's poll and they had the idiot van jones cyin'..

and the rest pushing trump down our throats, right?

[appleannie1943]

11. I can't stomach him so I did not watch it. I assume his base are those 7 in 10 that were polled.

Oh, I just read the posts above mine. I see my assumption was right. They only polled people that planned on watching. That would be his base. The poll was skewed.

[Maru Kitteh]

13. When were they not?

Unless you are a slobbering Trump-humper, it's kind of hard to miss how many completely undeserved glowing, nice things are said about Trump on ALL major media.

[FrenchieCat]

14. That was just a game of false choice...

When they made you believe they were feuding; Chump and CNN! they wanted you to choose who'd you believe between the two of them. I don't believe either .

[MFM008]

15. FAKE NEWS

remember whatever CNN says is FAKE NEWS.
wait..................who said that??????????????????

[MrScorpio]

17. People don't want to know if they're being cheated

Even when they are.

FDT.

[WePurrsevere]

18. That's because at least 7 out of 10 who watched were Trump supporters.

(With thanks) As pointed out by Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin in post #9.

"People who choose to watch a political speech such as this one tend to be more supportive of the speaker."

Basically it's a puff poll.

[Bengus81]

21. Where did they call...Kansas??

Did this idiot win the election with 70% of the vote?? No...yet NOW after a disaster first month supposedly 70% of Americans just loved what he had to say??

Total BS poll............

[erpowers]

23. The Poll Was Rigged

Did you read the story that accompanied the poll? If you read the story you will learn that CNN admits that the poll was about 8 point more Republican than the "population as a whole". I checked out the information because last night, shortly after I started hearing about this poll I received a news alert from CNN that stated the poll was of Republican leaning individuals.

So, it could be argued that the poll results are BS. We would expect Republicans to have a positive view of Trump's speech and think the policies he listed last night will move the country in the right direction.
