Trump shares an inaccurate graphic on Twitter that overstates his job approval by 12 points

[billh58]

President Trump on Thursday shared an inaccurate graphic on Twitter that significantly overstated his overall job approval rating in a new poll and falsely suggested it was “soaring.”

The graphic, which appears to have been produced by the Fox Business Network and aired on “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” indicated that Trump’s overall job approval was 55 percent while his approval on handling the economy was 58 percent.

The figure on the economy was correct, but the accurate overall approval figure was 43 percent in the poll cited, which was conducted for the Georgetown University Institute of Politics and Public Service.

About 40 minutes after Trump’s tweet, Mo Elleithee, director of the institute at Georgetown, went on Twitter to correct the record. He noted that 55 percent was the figure in the poll for Trump’s unfavorable rating. “Only 40% favorable,” Elleithee said.

Lies and the lying liars who tell them...

1. damage done

the director's clarification comments are henceforth "fake news."

Trump's approval rating must be at least 55% going forward forever. any polls to the contrary obviously have their numbers flipped, so it's up to Fox to unflip them, doncha know?

seriously though, a 58% approval rating on the economy is going to be a tough hurdle for us in the election.

2. Looking more likely

that the economy will be in or nearing a recession by election time.
And Trump voters are probably much less invested in the stock market than Americans as a whole, but the one thing everybody can relate to and understand is the price of gasoline, which looks like it will be over $4/gallon in a year and there's really nothing Trump can do about it. No way to blame that one on the Democrats.

3. 58% approval on the economy must be only the wealthy reporting?

i just completed our 2018 taxes. We received a refund of 470 dollars last year. This year we owe $2,118.00 on the same income as last year and practically the same deductions.

This tax "cut" was a huge scam of working and retired people. The increase in pay checks and annuities was due to having less money withheld but the new tax rates nullified all of that. It was this administration and its financial scam artists fooling the base, picking their pockets to pay for the taxes that Bezos, Trump and others do not pay. Trump doesn't want the public to see his taxes because he doesn't pay any or hardly any.
