Newt Gingrich Explains Methods Media Uses To Churn Out ‘Dishonest’ Polls To Hurt Trump And How GOP Must Respond

Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Thursday on “Hannity” that Republicans need to act “tougher and clearer” against Democrats’ opposition to President Donald Trump, calling out polls against the president.

Ahead of Trump’s first 100 days in office, polls from outlets like ABC News, CBS News and CNN showed a drop in confidence for how the president handles the job, significantly dipping from his high approval rating in February.

“I got a little preview about poll numbers that are coming out tomorrow and from both Robert Cahaly and Matt Towery, who I respect a lot, and, as I suspected, all of the polls that the media has been pushing on the American people about Donald Trump are false,” Hannity said.

“That’s what the early indications are and that all the pollsters that got the election in 24′ wrong and got every election about Donald Trump wrong. All of those people, the ones say, ‘Oh he’s plummeting, but meanwhile they’re ignoring Chuck is at 17% and the Democrats are in the 20’s. I’m trying to understand that logic. Can you help me out?” Hannity asked.

In a CBS News poll released on Feb. 9, Trump reached his highest approval rating of both terms, with 53% of voters approving of his leadership at the time. In a poll conducted between April 23-25, however, the president’s overall approval rating sits at 45%.
