Forty-two percent of Independents say Trump has the wrong priorities, 30 percent say an even mix, 9 percent believe he has the wrong priorities and 19 percent don’t know.
He's getting a masterclass in negotiation from Xi and I'm here for it.
30% of the population thinks tanking the economy, shredding the constitution, and deporting people to what is essentially a death camp without due process, all totally legal and very cool.
Sooo... Wait...
"4 in 10 Americans say Trump has been a 'terrible' leader in his second term.
2 in 10 think he has done an average job
3 in 10 says he’s been a great or good president."
4+2+3 = 9...
Presumably rounding, or 1 in 10 thinks he's just done a bad job.
"There are 3 types of people: those who can count, and those who cannot".
Rounding.
They left out 1 in 10 for "Poor." I also didn't find a link to the poll in the article. Here's the poll:
Great/Good NET 31
- Great 18
- Good 13
Average 16
Poor/Terrible NET 52
- Poor 13
- Terrible 39
DON’T KNOW -
SKIPPED/REFUSED 1
N= 1,260
Not the biggest sample size.
Nothing wrong with that sample size, it's plenty.
6 out of ten said what? This is fine..?

The AP-NORC poll surveyed 1,260 adults from April 17- April 21, using a probability-based method from AmeriSpeak. The margin of sampling error for the poll is plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
He’s underwater at 54.6% unfavorable on YouGov as of five days ago.

He’s 59% unfavorable on Pew Research Center as of three days ago.
2/10 Say he's average. 3/10 think he's great!
1/10?
Probably something like:
4.3 terrible
2.4 average
3.3 great
2 in 10: Average 3 in 10: Great
If you all could just try to not take the rest of the planet with you, that'll be great.
Could be 6 out of 10 said he should be put into the ground, it could also be 6 or if 10 said he should be the next pope.
How is it only 4 in 10?
Oh wait, maybe the other options were Horrible and stinking, which both received 3 votes.
