Must be buyers remorse.... no wait.... he lost the popular vote by three million: Trump's 40 percent favorability rating—a CBS poll actually has it as low as 32 percent—is 39 points below President-elect Obama's in 2009. ("If America's known for anything," Colbert grinned, "It's giving black men the benefit of the doubt.") It's also 20 points behind Obama right now, three months after Trump won an election that was supposedly a referendum on Obama's eight years in office. In that same CBS poll, 62 percent of Americans said they approved of how Obama had handled his job of president, while a CNN poll, also out today, has it at 60 percent. That 62 number is the third highest among outgoing presidents since 1981, behind Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan, tied at 68. Again, right now, 60 percent of Americans approve of President Obama, while only 40 percent of Americans approve of President-elect Donald Trump. So much for "let them eat cake".....
Ralph, you might also be thinking of school vouchers, which give low income families access to private schools. If properly administered and controlled, they are useful tools for school choice. The Catholic high school I attended years ago is in a part of the city that has evolved to lower income. Without vouchers, the school would have closed its doors. I don't know what percentage of the enrollment are voucher students, but it is significant. Indiana is a fiscally conservative state with an excellent public school system. Charter schools, vouchers, and public schools all are co-existing peacefully.
Just an FYI, it's going to be cheaper to send my daughter to Catholic school than it is to day care..
So now that the fake presidential polls are over what is the media to do? Why lets publish a bunch of fake popularity polls. (The morons on the left will believe these too.)
Gip, I held back from mentioning this as its already been documented that the particular poll is as accurate as Obama running for a third term. But you know the story, grab the headline and run to satisfy the feeling.. The funny thing is the left is SO FAR left they refuse to understand how far separated they are from the average American. With each comment they only guarantee 2018 and 2020 as they push farther left...Oh my Jimmy Kimmel said this, and TMZ is reporting this celeb said this...Please keep running toward that direction..
Trump lost Los Angeles big.. If you're going to throw around numbers, do it right. There's large portions of this country where a Trump joke will get your ass kicked. Just as it was when President Obama took office.
What does it matter anyway? Seems no one believes the truth anymore..... only sees the truth if it supports their point of view and refutes the other. Trump is one of the masters at this technique. Just say it's false if you don't like it..... truth be damned. We're on a steep descent into chaos if this keeps going the way it is.
In 1992 Hillary's husband received 43% of the vote but he became president. What's your fuckin point?
William Clinton Albert Gore Jr. Democratic 44,909,806 43.01% 370 68.8% George Bush J. Danforth Quayle Republican 39,104,550 37.45% 168 31.2% H. Ross Perot James Stockdale Independent 19,743,821 18.91% Clinton had almost 6 million more votes than did Bush. You can thank Dumbo for that.
14 million more people didn't vote for Clinton but he still won. That's how we elect a president. It's not a majority get it????
Clinton had 6 million more votes than his nearest competitor the incumbent president. But in all fairness Perot hurt Sr. tremendously in that election.
As has been pointed out, take mind-****** California out of the equation and Trump wins by 1.5 million votes. That is why there is an electoral college.
Yeah.... every one of those millions in Ca. is just as twisted and liberal as are the millions in Kanas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Alabama and other red states twisted dumbass redneck conservatives. Then again California has 128 colleges and universities including highly ranked schools academically like Stanford and U Cal Berkely. http://www.4icu.org/us/california/
Funny that you would choose two of the most liberal bastions of left wing ideology as your shining examples. The point is Dave (since it went over your head)... The electoral college prevents a large local population center from dominating a national election. It worked exactly as designed...
I have long understood how the electoral college works Scott. Could have been that political science course I took at U of F.... 8)
No doubt Florida.... with areas like my hometown of Jacksonville which is the biggest redneck town in America.... is a reflection of the last few nationwide electoral maps in the presidential elections. All rural redneck areas vote GOP along with the aformentioned Jax and areas of mixed lineage and transplanted retirees voting blue along with academic communities of Gainesville and Tallahassee.
Texas isn't much different from Florida or the rest of America either: https://www.texastribune.org/2016/11/11/analysis-blue-dots-texas-red-political-sea/ Except that the popular vote in Florida was very very close as opposed to that vote in Texas.
