His malignant narcissism demands that he be exalted at all times. While he does post some polls from mainstream sources, others are conducted by right-wing outfits that are shamelessly slanted. He even posts some Twitter polls conducted by such reputable figues as <em>&#8220;Catturd.&#8221;<\/em> Only rarely does he post anything that shows him losing. And when he does, it&#8217;s only to whine and rebuke the faithless reprobate&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SUCH AS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56964\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Hack Laura Ingraham Draws Trump\u2019s Wrath for Showing a Poll that Affirms He\u2019s a Loser<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Politico just completed a new poll that reveals the nation&#8217;s views of Trump&#8217;s legal tribulations. And given the results of the poll, we should not expect him (or Fox News, or any of his media or political flunkies) to promote it. Unless it&#8217;s to bash Politico for having the audacity to publish anything that demeans Dear Leader. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/magazine\/2023\/07\/06\/trump-trial-poll-ipsos-00104772\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">According to Politico<\/a><\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Forty-nine percent of respondents \u2014 including 25 percent of Republicans \u2014 said that they believe Trump is guilty in the pending federal prosecution, which alleges that he willfully retained sensitive government documents after leaving office and obstructed a subsequent federal investigation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A nearly identical 48 percent of respondents \u2014 including 24 percent of Republicans \u2014 believe that Trump is guilty in the Manhattan DA\u2019s pending prosecution, which alleges that Trump falsified business records in connection with a payment to the porn star Stormy Daniels in the run-up to the 2016 election in order to keep her quiet about an alleged sexual relationship between the two.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The only thing surprising about the broad-based results of this poll is that the number of those who believe that Trump is guilty isn&#8217;t higher. However, it is a bit surprising, and welcome, that a quarter of Republicans are convinced of Trump&#8217;s guilt. But don&#8217;t expect Trump to <em>&#8220;truth&#8221;<\/em> that poll, if he is even permitted to see it by his handlers.<\/p>\n<p>The Politico poll is not the first to show that Trump is losing ground among the American electorate. A recent NBC News poll found that, while Biden and the Democratic Party are not exactly universally adored, Trump and the GOP are roundly hated and are underwater by more than 20%. And Trump won&#8217;t be pleased to learn that only 33% of Republicans identify as Trump supporters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56223\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Americans are Unsatisfied with Politics in General, But Specifically Despise Trump and the GOP<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is likely that Trump posts so many of his rosy polls as a defense mechanism to convince himself that he is the shining object of everyone&#8217;s creepy desire. He needs to satisfy his humongous, yet fragile, ego. So whenever you hear Trump fluffing himself and boosting his position among the public, remember that he is a pathological liar with psychotic self-esteem issues. The truth that Trump cannot escape is that he was the most unpopular president in modern times, and continues to reach ever deeper depths of disrepute.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56568\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GOP Presidential Poll Reveals Why Ron DeSantis is the Only 2024 Opponent that Trump is Attacking<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/newsie.social\/@NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mastodon<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of Donald Trump&#8217;s favorite pastimes is posting polls on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social.
