Trump: Approval polls are rigged against me

Source: The Hill

President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday tweeted that approval rating polls are rigged against him, as a series of polls show him with historically low approval as he enters office.

“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,” Trump wrote.

A CNN/ORC poll released Tuesday morning showed Trump with 40 percent approval — six points lower than it was after Election Day, and lower than the last three presidents. More than half of respondents said they are less confident in Trump’s ability to do the job of president due to his statements since becoming president-elect.

An ABC News/Washington Post poll also released Tuesday found just 40 percent respondents approved of how Trump has handled his presidential transition, and 54 percent viewed him unfavorable. In comparison, the last four presidents all had approval ratings of at least 72 percent for how they handled their transitions.

By Friday, he'll be president and there are special laws about what you can say (1st Amendment be damned, apparently)

Even though he denies it, the narcissist watches TV compulsively to hear about himself.
I was watching CNN when they broke in with his tweet. After he accused everyone of being "so wrong", CNN was ready for that. They instantly put up their final poll that showed how their polling was NOT wrong but actually correct within the final margin of error. He's got to be fuming that they refuted him.

No normal incoming president would be bitching and moaning about these things at this point.

You know what President-elect Obama was doing on this day in 2009? This:

Hell even after you win an election you spout stupid shit like "I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally".
