What do you think it is that makes Trump so popular?
Even though the media would have people believe he's not. He's got a very large following.

What were you saying about "alternate facts"? Because you have just shown yourself an expert.

You found one day, in one poll, over one year ago. Your own link says that poll “often reflected higher approval ratings for Trump than most other major polls.”
Here he is graphed against all recent presidents over multiple years, showing there is no precedent for his unpopularity.

Now, what was that you were trying to believe? What you did is a classic example of how “post-truth” works. Ignore all the easily available evidence except one tiny anecdote or crumb that lets you keep believing what you want to believe. @Abrienda

Not sure I would call a Rasmussen polling a "crump" but what you REALLY mean is TRUTH are your facts not those that contradict your "opinions".
However, as for you being the "arbiter of truth", the Moslems would say to you "So, Mohammed was NOT the last Prophet?"
I'll just simply say...you are not God, although many psychopaths believe they are. Something for you to think about.
Hope you enjoy Trump's victory next year.

Do you understand what 538 (source of the linked graphs) is? Genuinely curious, because it doesn’t seem like it.
It’s the single most respected, impartial, data-driven analyst of all major polling in the US. It became famous a couple of election cycles ago for correctly calling every major election race in the country.
In other words, your single data point of one cherry-picked poll on one day is included in its overall picture — which also includes about 100 times as many polling sources on roughly 1000 times as many days.
That’s a ratio of 100,000 : 1. Your belief that these are equal forms of evidence and I’m somehow just picking the one I like requires a special kind of very determined stupidity.@Abrienda
