lol... sure. We disagree on if we should declare 36% as an outlier. The nature of a poll is going to suffer from swings in the first place. You don't want to believe it, and that's cool.
But it's hardly upset material.

But you're responding like you're upset. "Sure man whatever" kind of attitude. If poll swings don't bother you, you would be talking about the even more recent Rasmussen Report poll that shows Trump at 48%. Probably another outlier, as most polls in the same period show him in the low to mid 40s. The anti-Trump crowd attached themselves to the ABC poll because they like the numbers. They wouldn't have questioned it if it showed 5% approval. And that's weak minded and down right stupid. If you want to discuss why you think a statistical outlier is meaningful in rational scientific terms, I'm game. If you want to persist with the uneducated "you do you" mentality, that's fine too. Your opinion doesn't really matter to me. I was trying to help. If you don't want my help, please do carry on with your circle jerk.
He's not disagreeing. I challenged the poll. He didn't know how to respond, so he kept telling me to do me one post after another. Which sounds to me like what people do when they're flustered and getting angry. I don't see where the disagreement is. I would respond to the disagreement had it existed.

I've never heard someone say 'you do you' in an upset manner. Dismissive, sure. I think you're just reading into it a little too much.
I'm not going to go back and forth over the best interpretation of a poster's emotions. If I say something, and someone "disagrees" by telling me "whatever" over and over, I'd assume they're flustered and upset. You apparently consider this to be just a disagreement over the facts. I don't. I am still waiting for a non-idiotic response to my challenge. It won't come.

You're displaying Cy levels of argumentation here. But, uh, you do you I guess lol.
The hard number in the poll, like 36%, really isn't informative in and of itself, really. But if you have results from the same polling agency asking the same question over several polls the trend can be informative.
I'd have to see exactly how the question was asked from a 48% approval rating poll to a 36% approval rating poll. And how do they contact people? I mean, polling has a **** ton of issues. Hard to draw conclusions based on a single poll.
"Do you approve of the Job President Trump is doing?"
"Do you approve of Donald Trump?"
Huge difference.

Ya, people often do get upset at Cy when they don't know how to respond to his arguments.
Thank you. If only there were others who wanted to reach an understanding instead of being part-time cheerleaders.
This is really embarrassing. Don't start arguments if you're ill-equipped to engage in them.
Do we need a consensus? On poll data and what it actually means?
That's what people do when they get angry. They become dismissive. It's not that funny. You feel compelled to defend someone you see a teammate. That's all.
Don't know what that means. Anyways, you're making liberals look stupid and uneducated. Please stop.
