Is PINO'S Approval Rating Fake?

With all the issues about bots, I have serious technical concerns about the numbers "it" is carrying.
If the numbers were true, why would they freaking president of the United States need go go to North F'n Dakota for applause in a state where 10% of active voters is 15,000 people?
Only thing I can think of is that even the handlers of the pet monkey know they need to put on the circus somewhere where it looks like everyone loves the monkey!
Why go there unless they know the approval rating is faked high?

Singapore was about feeding his pathology not actually making any peace deal.

These are grifts to feed his bloated and damaged ego.

But, even among the work crowd (engineers, who unlike scientists are more conservative),
I'm not seeing the support. Just disdain, disgust, or dispassion
That's why I think something if faking the numbers
Yeah, small sample set, but I'm talking dozens not 5

It was about motivating voters and n the state. Every newspaper, television and radio news program in the state covered or mentioned the rally. Fox carried it live for the entirety. It was targeted to ND voters as well as Republicans elsewhere. His rallies are not only directed at the small crowds who attend them.

Explain the delta of support among Americans for the top 8 ideas "it" supports
Overwhelming disagreement
Can't answer that, can you?
Even immigration hard line doesn't have plurality support!
Ibid!

because Heidi Heitkamp is vulnerable. I believe the election was just moved from "toss up" to "lean Republican" after his campaign rally.

In that state, the voters leaning "stupid" were going stupid anyway
The idea that it talks to 9000 "true believers" makes the difference is mathematically ridiculous
This is all fake

seems to me if they wanted to fake his approval numbers they'd do much better than 42% in the aggregate -- take him up to a normative 55% or some such.

honestly i don't think anyone on Trump's side even cares what the numbers are. Trump will just make something up at his rallies if he feels the need.
