The poll showed that Trump had notched a new high in his disapproval rating of sixty percent. Considering everything that has been going wrong, he&#8217;s lucky it isn&#8217;t worse. But not known for being rational enough to appreciate that reality, Trump went off on a Twitter tirade against the poll:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The ABC\/Washington Post Poll was by far the least accurate one 2 weeks out from the 2016 Election. I call it a suppression poll &#8211; but by Election Day they brought us, out of shame, to about even. They will never learn!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1035717747936768000?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 1, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>First of all, two weeks before the 2016 election, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/enthusiasm-donald-trump-fades-partisanship-close-poll\/story?id=42815332\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ABC Washington Post poll<\/a><\/strong> had the race at forty-seven percent to forty-three percent in favor of Hillary Clinton. That&#8217;s right on the mark since the final election results gave Clinton a three million vote lead. This polling measures voter sentiment, not the electoral college. So Trump&#8217;s complaint that the poll was <em>&#8220;by far the least accurate one&#8221;<\/em> is just another of his innumerable untruths. Will he ever learn? Don&#8217;t bother to answer that. Just take a look at his next tweet:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Rasmussen_Poll?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Rasmussen_Poll<\/a> just came out at 48% approval rate despite the constant and intense Fake News. Higher than Election Day and higher than President Obama. Rasmussen was one of the most accurate Election Day polls!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1035715271418413056?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 1, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Rasmussen does currently have Trump at forty-eight percent, but Rasmussen is a notoriously biased outfit that Republicans lean on for positive news when all the reputable pollsters are providing more credible numbers. And Obama&#8217;s ratings on August 31, 2010, were also forty-eight percent, so Trump was not higher, as he claimed. As for Trump&#8217;s assessment of these two pollsters, the experts at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/projects.fivethirtyeight.com\/pollster-ratings\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FiveThirtyEight<\/a><\/strong> have ABC\/Washington Post at A+, while Rasmussen is much farther down the scale at a mere C+.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s no wonder that Trump is concerned about his polling. As his presidency continues to be mired in scandal, the results on several other topics are just as bad as his approval. For instance, sixty-three percent of voters support special counsel Robert Mueller. Sixty-four percent oppose Trump firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions, which he is threatening to do after the midterms. Fifty-three percent say that Trump is already guilty of obstruction of justice for interfering with the Mueller probe. And a plurality of nearly half (forty-nine percent) of Americans say that Congress should begin impeachment hearings. That includes thirty percent of conservatives.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump is a walking disaster and he knows it.
