73% of a tv audience in the Charlotte, NC area has 73% saying Pelosi “acted inappropriately” in an online poll they’re conducting this morning.

Charlotte usually trends blue.

Charlotte is blue, and will vote blue (I know you have roots in NC like me). This poll was posted in The Donald and other racist subreddits last night to brigade.

russian propaganda is working big time.

The sheeple are back in force now. What's next erecting statues in his image in DC?

Gallup's tracking which I've been watching since day one trended up. 538 ticked up a point. MSNBC ticked up. Harris up.

Even if not sustained, it's true.

the party of tRump swallowed Russian propaganda from this fool and those supporters of this idiot have too. I really don't put much credence into polls.

inspired. Thanks for explaining.

I do understand that you can't micro-analyze every one day poll change from yesterday, of course. But I don't understand how anyone can ignore long term trend lines. It seems so completely counterintuitive that his trends rise in proportion to the horrors he commits. His approvals around the end of 2017 were in the mid to upper 30s.

I know we are aware of the situation here, but what about other Americans. They are so uninformed.

We are ignoring a segment of people who aren't necessarily horrible, but just have lower IQs, and don't ever read or learn or research anything. Seems the only way would be to advertise on their favorite shows? Like bachelor or the voice? Problem is Facebook. A quick hit ad smear can spread like fire.

why do so many people trust that site. Now, I do have it, but I really don't spend as much there as I do here.

At least here is vast amount of information, and there's still viable sources of information NY Times, The Atlantic, Vanity Fair, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. Also sites like Alternet, Daily Beast, and independent sites like that for progressives to read.

But then again, we are dealing with those who view education as "elitist" which I do not understand why is being educated being "elitist?"

He's still down in RCP average from where he was even a week ago.

If you're going to cherry-pick polls to make a point, here are a few you missed:

Down in the latest Rasmussen, released yesterday and notorious for right-wing bias
Down in latest Morning Consult
Down in latest You-Gov

But, I wonder if Trump hand-wrote an insulting barb on her copy of the speech - a little Trumpian Easter egg, as it were? If so, she should release a photo of his turd-toss and explain that that was why she tore it up.

There was much Dem-bashing in the speech, and borderline racist BS. Fuck Trump and fuck Republicans in general.
