I'm starting to have friends turn 50 and yes, I am using the shit out of Sally O'Malley.

According to that it was never lower than 42%. I think that is probably an outlier poll.

Anyway congrats on the LOLZ and the meme.

Democracy, it's not the best system, but it's the best system we have.

Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director!

Good thing Kasowitz was smart enough to use the past tense.

This administration makes a dumpster fire seem like a rose garden.

50% of "likely voters" who don't use mobile phones.

That's actually more than one demo bias, since that group also skews heavily toward rural areas with poor to no cellular reception and poor to no Internet service, e.g. Trump Country.
Experience bij!

That said, I wouldn't totally throw out a Rasmussen poll. It can tell us the general trend of how that segment of the population (those more likely to vote for Trump/general Rs) is feeling about the President.

Looking at the poll back to inauguration, the trend has been downward overall, and what is strikingly interesting is that Strongly Disapprove is consistently now much higher than Strongly Approve.

More data is good.

I think the Rasmussen poll is very important. I just notice that Spicey constantly uses it exclusively to, I presume, troll Tim because Tim annoys him. And I sympathize with Spicey but Tim is remarkably bullet proof.

OMG that means he's guilty!!!

No, it means he's a bit smarter than the POTUS.

Choice of counsel kind of says something about the personalities.

Donald hires a NY company litigator with an attack dog rep.
Pence hires a quietly effective Beltway pro with long white collar experience on both sides.

I love how he brags about ultimately poor approval ratings.
