A poll that was conducted between February 2-4 by left-leaning Politico shows that Americans support all of the Executive Orders that have been signed through February 4, including the Travel ban.
The national survey polled 2,070 registered voters with a +/- margin of 2 percent.

Interesting logic there and VERY polarized.
Accurately though, from a polarized/polarizinging perspective, I would have to say you’re not quite right about that.
Why is that? It’s because you can only consider those who approve, as actually approving it. That would mean, the majority of americans (and even then, again, polarized crap, because it’s barely more than 50%) only supported 3 of those executive orders.
Now yes, I understand you would argue (again, with polarizing sentiment). “But look at how much more it is than those who disapprove!”
You have to remember too, it’s a poll (and a supposedly liberal poll), the same sort of poll that happened to be bullshit, repeatedly, not too long ago.
So what exactly can you read from that? Is the poll misrepresenting again? Which way is it misrepresenting? What sort of agenda this time?
I ran some statistics on polls and I found them to be consistently shit.
Also, the usual issues with sampling size, etc. too.
In fact, unless he gets 0% approval there, some americans support him. Conversely, unless he gets 100% approval, some americans don’t support him.
Certainly though, the poll show a larger amount of americans (of the ~2000 polled) support Trump than those who don’t.
Polls are shit.
Oh yeah, like a week or so ago.
HuffPo pollster suggested, polling sector isn’t doing so well and appealed “Trump reads polls soyou should answer them”.
Now, I dunno if you can figure that out, but it’s kinda like pandering to authority.
