WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Donald Trump is the first elected president in Gallup's polling history to receive an initial job approval rating below the majority level. He starts his term in office with 45% of Americans approving of the way he is handling his new job, 45% disapproving and 10% yet to form an opinion. Trump now holds the record for the lowest initial job approval rating as well as the highest initial disapproval rating in Gallup surveys dating back to Dwight D. Eisenhower.
If you scroll on down to the bottom of the page to "Survey Methods" you will find this:
Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted Jan. 20-22, 2017, on the Gallup U.S. Daily survey, with a random sample of 1,525 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. For results based on the total sample of national adults, the margin of sampling error is ±3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. All reported margins of sampling error include computed design effects for weighting.
Each sample of national adults includes a minimum quota of 70% cellphone respondents and 30% landline respondents, with additional minimum quotas by time zone within region. Landline and cellular telephone numbers are selected using random-digit-dial methods.
This is so bogus. For folks that don't quite understand I will try to explain. If a "random sample" of only one or two people are polled in each of the conservative states and the other 1325 or more samples are taken from the remainder of states then guess what? The data is bias weighted. Also, by calling people from any state around 10:00 A.M. insures that the most of the conservative folks who work are most likely unable to answer the phone. Get it? Unfortunately, this totally biased data is pushed to and spewed daily from every lap dog media outlet in the country and is accepted by their illiterate constituents as the gospel truth.
The only thing we can do as True Conservatives and Patriots is call out each of the polling entities where their data is bring used and demand a that they provide a more detailed description of their data sets. Such items as the time of day polled, which state and quantity of folks polled per state could give us a much better understanding of the quality of data used to quantify their results.
