Topic	How is Trump's Approval rating still at 45%?
Zeus 03/29/19 2:15:23 AM #179:	Entity13 posted... Present statistics to Zeus--and he has actually done this to me twice in the past--and he will tell you that all statistics are made up on the spot, and that's assuming he won't call your source left-leaning. The correct statement or question, if ever, would be regarding the margin of error (example: 50% approval for Trump wit Latinos possibly having a MoE of 9.9 points, meaning the approval could be anywhere from 40.1 to 59.9%). However, if he presents statistics and you ask him about the margin of error--again, he's done this with me, as have a couple other people on this board alone--then he'll just scoff at you and pretend no such standard exists or matters. I'm sorry to say I did not save those examples from the past, years ago. An unsurprisingly large number of "statistics" cited online tend to be bunk and rarely support their argument's weight, when they relate to their argument at all. And I have gone to great pain and inconvenience to demonstrate the flaws in many of the dodgy statistics referenced on this site in the past. Sorry if I didn't waste time tearing apart your particular disreputable claim to your utmost satisfaction. CacciatoPart3 posted... Zeus posted... I know how old you aren't. I love how its its Zeus of all people saying something like this. I love how you of all people dispute this, considering your tendency to remark on my age as being exceptionally advanced beyond the point of hyperbole. ernieforss posted... he still can win 2020 presidency. Incumbency is a powerful thing. It's one reason for term limits. Voxwik posted... He said his supporters would stand by him if he shot someone in the middle of the street in daylight. Zealotry makes one resistant to spotting hyberbole and humor although, in your defense, a lot of politicians say stupid shit for a laugh that people pick on. Yellow posted... This Russian shit was never going to happen. None of his policies favor Russia, he's much more obviously bought off by Saudi Arabia. The DNC establishment just decided to push the Russia thing for 4 years, because they have literally no message on how they want to improve this country, and they can't stand the fact that they're so crusty and useless that they lost to a reality TV con artist. They like to pretend all day that half the country votes for goofy Republicans because they're perfect and humans are dumb. The party of nothing vs. the party of no. Democrats like Sanders and Cortez actually stand for some good ideas, and they get slandered by the DNC. Democrats are the real Conservatives, Conservatives want to change the country a hell of a lot more than they do, even if it is backed by nothing but fear mongering.
