President Trump had a heck of a week. There was SO MUCH bad press. MSM was on overdrive, especially with the Cohen stuff.
But we’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. They’re only hurting themselves. Their relentless attacks bore us. At least, that’s the story Trump’s approval ratings tell.
Prior to the Cohen explosion, NBC did an approval rating poll. Trump clocked in around 46% (August 18-22). NBC conducted another poll after Trump’s press week from hell, and guess what happened: Basically nothing. His approval rating dropped a whopping 2 points– 44% (August 22-25). That’s it. As Chuck Todd said, it “barely changed.”
The first poll number– the 46%– was largely due to what the Free Beacon describes as the “rock-solid support Trump has among Republicans, at more than 90 percent.”
Todd said NBC elected to conduct a second poll from Wednesday through Saturday “because we knew some of you might be skeptical of the results.” However, the numbers barely budged, with Trump shifting to 44 percent approval and 52 percent disapproval, but within the margin of error in its difference from the first survey.
It’s almost like the American people aren’t interested in participating in MSM’s manufactured outrage or something.
