‘How Can That Be Possibly Correct?’: Pollster Describes Inconsistency In Report Showing Trump ‘In Free Fall’

Pollster Matt Towery said Monday on “The Ingraham Angle” that he doesn’t believe polls that say voters have lost confidence in President Donald Trump.

With Trump nearly hitting 100 days in office, new polls from outlets like ABC News, CBS News and CNN have shown a drop in voters’ confidence in him. Fox host Laura Ingraham asked Towery which of the polls concerns him the most and why.

“None of them, to be honest with you. I have a group of pollsters I look at who are public pollsters who’ve been right in all three of Trump’s cycles,” Towery said. “We happen to be one of those. None of 🇺🇸US have had him down by any of these numbers we’ve seen before. The only one that might concern me at all is the Fox News one because Fox did well in the 24 cycle.”

“So that’s the only one of these other ones — I looked at some of them. I don’t like to criticize polling, but how can you have a poll, as John McLaughlin, a good friend of mine pointed out, how could you have a poll that shows Donald Trump at 39%?” Towery asked. “But yet when you ask people who they voted for and they said they voted for Trump, 95% said they would vote for him again.”

According to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll released Saturday, 39% of the 2,464 respondents said they approve of Trump’s job performance, dropping six points from their February poll. With a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points, the poll said 37% of respondents trust Trump to handle the country’s main problems, compared to 30% who said they trust Democrats in Congress.
