I simply said unpopular. if you fall below 50% approval rating that means more than half the country doesn't like them, thus making them unpopular. Well if you don't want to be helpful, I just looked it up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_approval_rating#Historical_comparison mooreandrew58 posted... what kills me though. is how accurate can these things be. i've never been asked by a poll if I liked the president. and two i'm willing to bet money they do these polls much more in cities where as you guessed it more democrats reside. they don't do these polls out in the rural country thats infested with republicans That's literally what sampling is and there's an entire branch of mathematics that exists to help do sampling right. It's very accurate if it's done right (which considering it's using the Gallup Poll, it's done right). umm no its never done right. as said I never see them polling out here in the country. kind of ignoring an entire population of people that have a different mindset because of the lives they live versus city dwellers. and to think any group is unbiased is being a bit hopeful imo. a news company is seldom ever going to put out a story that goes against what they want to be the truth. and that goes for 99% of them and thats a generous number.. everyone knows fox news is biased but the other major networks are too. think it was CNN that got busted on showing some big Muslim rally and someone recorded it on their cell phone where they just had a handful of people crowded into a tiny are the camera really close up giving the illusion it was a large crowd edit: and even if news network is truly unbiased you can't say the same for the reporters I bet, the ones who write the stories. and those who approve the stories. its almost impossible to find any individual who is unbiased and would actually push a story that went against what they are for --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"
