Alternative Trump Approval Ratings

Kellyanne Conway caused a good deal of snickering by using the phrase “alternative facts,” but the hyperpolarized information industry really does offer alternatives. Consider Trump’s approval ratings. If you don’t like him, go to CNN or Salon, and learn that most people agree with you. Crows CNN:

President Donald Trump enters office facing low job approval ratings and skepticism from voters, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.

The survey found that 36% of American voters approve of Trump’s handling of his job after his first week, while 44% say they disapprove.

If you do like Trump, the media can validate that opinion too. Head over to the Washington Times or Western Journalism. Via Western Journalism:

A new poll published Thursday showed that President Donald Trump’s approval rating among likely U.S. voters has climbed to 59 percent.

As noted by Rasmussen Reports, the poll also showed that 44 percent of voters “strongly approve” of the president’s performance, while 41 and 31 percent disapprove and “strongly disapprove,” respectively.

Everyone hates Trump. Everyone loves Trump. Whatever facts you want, the free market will provide them.

But don’t blame the free market if we become balkanized into warring ideological niches that are incapable of communicating with each other. It is our own responsibility to stick our heads outside our bubbles to hear what others are saying. If we don’t, we will crawl ever further out on our limbs until the branch breaks and dumps us to the ground.

At least this phenomenon provides entertainment value, as moonbats become ever more extreme in their comically erroneous views.
