""President Donald Trump has evidently found a popular poll that isn’t “fake news.” The commander-in-chief, under fire for and awaiting the ruling of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling on his immigration ban, tweeted out a Morning Consult/Politico poll that shows a majority or plurality of Americans support his executive orders.
In particular, the results show that 55 percent of the 2,070 respondents support both revoking federal funding to sanctuary cities and the same percentage are for the ban that locked out immigrants for seven Muslim-majority countries. In contrast, 33 percent disapproved of the sanctuary cities de-funding and 38 percent disapproved of the immigration ban.
The poll also examined the respondents' approval or disapproval to Trump’s nine other executive orders, including on federal government spending freezes (54 percent approve), delays or ignoring parts of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare (49 percent) and fast-tracking the construction of the highly controversial and much disputed Keystone XL pipeline.""
However, Morning Consult/Politico did point out that Trump’s overall job approval rating continues to trend downward.

Mr. Trump found a poll that he likes and this is now the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth of his popularity. Never mind that it was only a poll of about two thousand people. Hip hip hurrah.

Wait, so now polls are reliable again? I'm getting confused on when I should believe them.

It's like the BIBLE. Just pick and choose the polls and parts of polls that you want to believe. That's OK, since all of them are subject to massive errors.

Any negative polls are fake news, just like the CNN, ABC, NBC polls in the election. Sorry, people want border security and extreme vetting.

When the MSM won't report a poll, you can bet it is important.

That part is fake news.
Sure is because Rasmussen still has him at 53%.
Another at 50.
Considering all the snip being said for the past two weeks.
That's amazing.
