That source's homepage  ;D ;D ;D ::) ::) ::)


https://fivethirtyeight.com/

And??

There is literally at least a dozen different pollng outfits listed as the source for 538's piece.

The graph shows the spread very nicely in green and orange.

Its homepage confirms that it's still a ridiculously partisan source. And in the US it's easy to find "at least a dozen" pollster sources that will say whatever you want them to say.

It does nothing of the sort.

538 is highly reputable and Nate Silver very respected. Along with Real Clear Politics it is the leading compiler of polling data from across the board.

But, don't mind me, go ahead and post some of what you consider legitimate poll material on Trump's job approval.

That poster thinks anything even slightly to the left of the Daily Stormer is a communist rag

538 also has jumped around from one media company to another over the years. They were under the NY Times for a while, then ESPN, then moved to ESPN's sister company ABC.

Silver operates it though, not those companies.

538 reports polling data, not Fox News talking points.

Friendly reminder that the right is by far the biggest threat to American lives today. Bigger than any supposed threat from the left, bigger than any threat from jihadists, and these terrorists are now being celebrated by mainstream Rethuglicans.

Meanwhile, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf
Another corrupt Wolf of (Build the) Wall Street

Something you may have missing in the scandal blizzard:
Since Chad Wolf started working for DHS, his wife's firm has received millions in DHS contracts. (Wolf is in the midst of being formally confirmed after running DHS illegally for months.)

It's Trump who's into swinging with 17 year olds, mate

Although he apparently likes them much younger than that

Trump goon in the media blaming Breonna Taylor for her own murder now

I don't even want to imagine the rationalisation somebody could dream up for saying such a thing

I hope he never has a daughter that gets murdered by police for no reason - he's white and wealthy, so luckily for him, he won't

Newsmax's Grant Stinchfield blames Breonna Taylor for her own killing: "She made some awful choices along the way

I won't be voting as I live in Éire

You seem to have a problem with people who don't live in America having perfectly legitimate opinions about America

That seems like cancel culture to me, telling people whose opinion you don't like to shut up

Your silence on the Trump paedophilia allegation is noted

Like the guy at the pub telling you who played well in a game down the local gaa field but he never goes to any game . When I am the loudest most prolific poster on an Irish political thread please tell me to stfu .

My views are formed by facts, by the truth

Your opinions are certainly not formed by real life experiences, no more than they are by facts

You sound like somebody who spends their life in a broom cupboard

No offence

But you come across as one of thickest eejits to ever lay fingers on a keyboard

And you're still silent on the Trump paedophilia allegation, which is highly credible

People are therefore entitled to draw their own conclusions about what your own views on paedophilia are likely to be
