President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday dismissed the mounting signs that he remained a highly unpopular political figure, slamming polls showing him to have a historically low approval rating for an incoming president.

"The same people who did the phony election polls, and were so wrong, are now doing approval-rating polls. They are rigged just like before," Trump tweeted.

In case Trump missed it, the polls were within 1% nationally. Guess facts don't matter again.

    He is my president. But he's not the one I chose to lead the country.

    http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2017/images/01/16/trump.2.pdf

    "METHODOLOGY

    A total of 1,000 adults were interviewed by telephone nationwide by live interviewers calling both landline and cell phones.

    Among the entire sample, 32% described themselves as Democrats, 24% described themselves as Republicans, and 44% described themselves as independents or members of another party."

    Exactly

    And 81% of independents are democrats who are too embarrassed to admit it

    The story isn't that by the time of the election the polls had tightened to fool the hondo's of the world, the story is the polls showing hillary up by double digits headed to an electoral college landslide for most of 2016

    This is a similar method.

    Most polls were well within their margin of error by election day. Hillary won the popular vote by 2.1%.

    I highlighted the ones that were outside of +-3%.

    It looks to me that most polls overvalued the impact of Johnson and Stein. Both performed way under what they were polling. Both Clinton and Trump got a higher percentage than originally predicted.

    Electoral college models definitely weren't accurate, but even then we are talking about a couple tenths of a percent in a handful of states.

    Regardless, the 1000 person sample is pretty representative of how Americans currently identify with political parties. The latest Gallup poll has it as Rep:28%, Dem: 25%, Ind:44%.

    That's the real story from the polling error, but I imagine it's not easy to model scenarios where a candidate wins the EC while losing the popular vote by 2%.

    Nate Silver at least brought up the possibility.

    Approval polls are more of a popularity poll. People personally liked Obama based on polls but hated his policies. More people dislike trump as a person, of course his approval numbers will be down. Many people approved of Obama on the polls because they didn't want to be seen as racist by the pollsters.

    Almost accurate. Obama's approval numbers went up at the end because he looked great compared to the shitshow of candidates that lined up to replace him.

    Hillary actually won the popular by more than 2.1% look at the total, she only won by 2.1 million there when the final tally was 2.9 million. So really the polls were closer than RCP notes.

    There are definitely biases, and I'm sure there are examples of what you mentioned re: Obama. Much better to look at how the poll is trending over time than any one poll.

    I agree completely on this one.

    It's subjective preseason polling bullshit anyway.

    So what you are saying is Trump's approval is 42% instead of 40%?
