    So CNN, the network that was bitterly denouncing their own poll as worthless is now saying that according to their self-described worthless poll, Trump got the lowest approval records since 1998

    I'm always still in trouble again

      Figures lie and liars figure!
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        Different people who have had more time to analyze more information are making a different argument, yes.
        "I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
        "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
        "[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

          IOW, they found something in their self-described worthless poll that they like and now decided at least that part wasn't worthless

            Kinda sounds like it might be fruit picking time. I'm thinking maybe cherries.

              it's just a nice payback from having to live through 8 years of insufferable liberals under Obama.

                And an adoring media that acted as the palace guard screening him from all scrutiny with screams of "RACISM!" directed at anyone who had the temerity to oppose or even question any of his actions.

                  I don't pay too much attention to the first year of a president far as finances and policy effects are concerned because the new incumbent hasn't had much of an effect yet...it's still the previous president's influence. I believe the second year is more telling.

                      Just this headline is hilarious:

                      "Students Hate Quotes from Trump’s State of the Union, Until Realizing They Are Obama’s"

                      Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
                      But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
                      Than a fool in the eyes of God
