Pathetic innumeracy

Trump excitedly retweeted that. It is, of course, utter bullshit. Even with the country struggling to recover from the worst recession since the Great Depression, Obama’s approval rating was better than Trump’s:
They were cherry picking one poll by the right wing hack outfit Rasmussen which has him at 51% right now which is 10 points higher than most other polls.
As the president’s approval ratings rise against Obama’s, it may be fair to conclude the House Democrat effort to impeach him is based on their fear that none of their candidates will be able to beat him at the ballot box in 2020.
The danger in this pathological lying is that if Trump loses despite all these “polls” showing him winning, the party will claim that the vote was stolen. The disinformation campaign by foreigners and Republicans alike are inexorably leading to to the right being unwilling to accept any election results that don’t go their way no matter what the real polling showed or the magnitude of the loss.
