Meanwhile, you go right on ahead and deny the American People the voter ID requirements that they all want and watch as the Republicans remove the filibuster and we just finally steamroll over what little remains of the dead Democratic Party.

NBC News SurveyMonkey poll




Quote:

The
NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll (often referred to as the NBC News Decision Desk Poll powered by SurveyMonkey) is an online tracking poll used to measure public opinion on political candidates, policy issues, and approval ratings.
Here is what it is and why it has that name:

What it is: A collaborative polling effort, most notably active during the 2016 election cycle, designed to track weekly shifts in voter sentiment. It often surveys large, diverse samples (sometimes over 11,000 to 20,000+ people) to gauge opinions on topics like presidential elections and approval ratings.

The Partnership: It combines the news gathering and reporting power of NBC News with the online, rapid-polling technology of SurveyMonkey.

The Method: It is an online, non-probability poll. Instead of traditional phone calls, it uses SurveyMonkey's massive online platform to gather responses from individuals, which are then weighted to match demographic data.

Usage: The poll has been used to track major political events, such as approval ratings for Donald Trump in 2026, or election matchups between Trump and Hillary Clinton in 2016.



Yeah? How'd that NBC SurveyMonkey poll work out for you in 2016?



Gee... you mean a bunch of people who hate Donald Trump so much that they'd spend their days watching a network that hates Donald Trump and they'd take time out of their lives do a poll on NBC "News"'s website say they wouldn't vote for Trump?

Say it ain't so!



Regrets? CNN has had a few.

CNN averaged 573,000 total primetime viewers and 102,000 A25-54 viewers during primetime in 2025. The network saw declines in total viewers by -16% and -31% in the demo compared to the previous year (2024*). In total day, it had 432,000 total viewers and 70,000 viewers in the demo. This represented a -10% drop in total viewers and a -23% drop in the demo.

In relation to all the cable networks, CNN was in seventh place among total viewers. In the primetime demo, the network finished in tenth place, down from sixth. During total day, CNN remained in fourth place with total viewers and slid to seventh from sixth place in the demo.



Somewhere along the line they forgot that Hating Donald Trump was their only draw because they pushed everyone else away like MSDNC did, and now they're losing their viewers to MS NOW.

Three surveys conducted in late January and early February all point in the same direction: more voters now believe Mr Trump is performing worse than Mr Biden.

A Harvard CAPS/Harris poll conducted Jan 28-29 found that 51 per cent of registered voters believe Mr Trump is doing a worse job than Mr Biden, while 49 per cent say he is doing better.

A YouGov/Economist poll conducted Feb 6-9 found that 46 per cent of US adults say Mr Trump is doing a worse job than Mr Biden, while 40 per cent say he is doing better. Seven per cent said the two presidents’ performances were about the same.

Similarly, a Rasmussen Reports poll taken Feb 2-4 – from a firm considered Trump-friendly – found 48 per cent believe Mr Biden did a better job as president, compared with 40 per cent who chose Mr Trump. Eight per cent said the two performed about the same.

Chris D Jackson, a Democratic political strategist, described the trio of negative polls as “brutal,” posting on X that “when even Rasmussen shows it, you know how bad things have gotten for Trump”. “Democrats should have stood and rallied behind Biden in 2024,” he added.
