Think of how much better everything would be today, if Hillary was President for the last month.

Some news from legit outlets about the Russia connection is fake news. Numerous examples of shoddy reporting or outright factual errors material to the story.

If the media wants the high ground they could do exactly what people advise Trump to do - slow down, get your facts right and save your efforts for real issues. Instead they've chosen to go into defense tit for tat mode and as a result they are impacting their own credibility.

The growing national discussion about real news vs. fake news may end up having a positive impact. People may become more aware of how much news out there is "fake" and how much of what they've accepted as true should now be questioned. If everyone learns to question the source and look a little deeper, things will go as they should.

Large Metropolitan Areas. Would you disagree?

Do you think the concentrate their polling efforts in BFE?

If I'm wanting a poll to show a Democrat is winning, guess where I'm going to concentrate on doing the polling?

If I want it to show a Republican?


Its all about demographics

The problem now Luther is that your larger news outlets like CNN, Fox, MSNBC, etc are quoting sources that got their info from Bob at the Exxon

CNN ran with the Russia thing that came originally from BuzzFeed. That turned out to be so Fake. It was so Fake, MSNBC called out CNN and BuzzFeed

Regardless of how you align politically, the one thing we all should agree on is a media that is politically unbiased and should report equally regardless of their own political views

You cant hold the peoples trust to report factual when you are biased to one side over the other

Additionally, 24-hour news services are a business and a BIG business. They are in to make a profit. Profit is determined by viewers and if you "break" news first, then you tend to get a larger viewing audience.

This tends to put a lot of pressure on reporters to "break" news and sometimes they do it regardless of the accuracy. Because being accurate takes time and time is money

Its not about the truth as much as its about profit.

It's cute how right-wingers/conservatives think they are so different than left-wingers/liberals.

You're not; you're really, really not. You b*** about the other sides behavior and embrace it when your own does it, just like the other side does.

There is a big difference dude. I don't recall crazy rioters/protesters from the right after Obama was elected and reelected. Do you?

I agree - we need a shake up and shake out. This instant news cycle thing is a relatively new phenomenon and it takes to time for society to adapt.

It's also why I preferred Trump over Clinton - he'll cause much needed shake up in our political system. It may not be pretty but we needed a revolution.

Yes and no - there are upward inflection points and most analysts would say that both the market and the economic indicators are forward looking and betting on a more favorable business climate.

So do his policies deserve credit? The potential of his policies does.

Put another way, I doubt the inflection points would have been as noticeable if Hillary had been elected.

I think the pollsters know how to get a representative sample. We will never know what caused the numbers to be off by a couple of percentage points but my guess is that there were a number of people who voted for Trump who had stated a different intent when polled. There were also a number of people who stated an intent to vote for Clinton, who ended up not voting.

The embarrassment suffered by the polling industry because of the election results will lead to future polls being more valid and reliable, not less. Of course, many are going to use this as an excuse to discount all future polls that are disagreeable.

You live on an ever-shrinking island. Trump's support is evaporating on all fronts. Public opinion is tanking, foreign allies are wavering, and even his own party is learning that he may prove poisonous to align themselves with. Today, you are in the 39% of Americans who support Trump. Don't be shocked as your ranks dwindle quickly.

Trump said its at 55% and rising...like the stock market, my 401k, and that wall down south. Dont believe everything the msm tells you...their approval rating is at about 20%. Cheers.

The election showed that unless you live in cali or ny...you are surrounded by more people who think like me than libs like you. Geographically speaking, about 90 percent of this country wants trump, and all the things hes doing. Its what we voted him in to do. Hide and watch snowflake.

It did not after 2010 and 2014 where the midterms outcomes were counter to polling data.

The problem is typically not the sample or the data collection; it is the model used to adjust the data. In 2010, 2014 and 2016 they used inaccurate models of voter turnout to adjust the data.

I believe clear was just being a smartass because you said "did" instead of "done". Your point stands..lib pollsters ask a bunch of snowflakes in nyc or berkley and project it to the rest of the country. Thats why they were so amazed billary didnt win in a landslide like they ALL predicted. Morons. They said trump couldnt even get 230 points...

Those approval polls were exposed. They were over sampling Dems by a heavy margin. I can't remember the exact number but Republicans represented between 20-30% of the sample.

I feel bad for any translator trying to translate Trump-Speak into another language. Other than being Trump's hairdresser, I imagine it's the most difficult job in the world.

Nope. That has to be rectifying the rectal damage on your ass from the recent election. The butt hurt that you exhibit is significant.

GA has been a red state in every presidential election since 1992. Trump carried GA by a smaller margin than any republican candidate since 1996. GA has moved from a solid red state to a purple state. That trend back toward blue is not changing.

I agree with you 100% but she's not the President and he's also a lying POS.

All this Hillary crap keeps getting brought up but this is no longer about Hillary, she's taking a walk in the woods right now and Trump is in the White House. He can only refer her to so much before it's like "Dude you won, now act like it!"

The reporter asked Trump about Hillary and her leaks, good sir. You aren't making sense.

The percentage margin was exactly the same as 2008.
1996: Dole won by 1.2%
2008: McCain won by 5.2%
2012: Romney won by 7.8%
2016: Trump won by 5.2%

His exchange with a black reporter:

"Are you going to include the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus—" Ryan said.

"Well, I would. I tell you what, do you want to set up the meeting?" Trump said, speaking over her. "Do you want to set up the meeting?"

"No, no, no, I'm just a reporter," Ryan said.

"Are they friends of yours? No, go ahead," Trump continued. "Set up the meeting."

Our president, ladies and gentlemen.
