New York – Donald Trump is shrugging off polls that show him with low approval ratings.

The president-elect tweeted early Tuesday, “The same people who did the phony election polls, and were so wrong, are now doing approval rating polls. They are rigged just like before.”
The Revolt of the Masses (described in the book of the same title) is complete !!
The man is correct. Also Trump voters tend to not answer polls as much. Unless the polling stations can prove that their sample size is truely reflective of the greater population their credibilty is quite low.
Let me add one more point. I have participated in polling at times. Its question are often very narrow and slanted towards a specific goal. Just an example I was asked if I support my governor increasing pension investments via raising taxes.. I would have liked to answer I support increasing pension investments via cutting social programs. But I was forced to answer yes or no. Thus polling is very not accurate.
The “Main Street Media” did report that the pollsters predicted a Clinton win. Including (generally RW) Rasmussen, WSJ and Fox.
And some generally “left” media sources (like the Los Angeles Times) predicted a TRump win, was also reported by the MSM.

Even the polls by ostensibly neutral/right-leaning publications and media sites show Trump’s popularity/approval at record lows. Given that he seems to go out of his way to vilify anyone who disagrees with him and function as the “Troll-in-Chief”, thats not surprising. What happens in few months when even Breitbart and Alex Jones throw in the towel and realize that he is an egomaniac who exists for self-adulation and could care less about the poishete American
It’s a very simple formula, fake news = fake polls = fake news = fake polls etc.
Let me add one more pointer re polls. Most of those closer polls came out after the elections to save grace. I don’t really believe that a week before the elections Hillary had a strong lead and just punkt the day before it tightened. All those polls showing a 3% margin were only released post elections stating these were our polls on Nov 7. Sorry I don’t buy it.
