http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/22/politics/donald-trump-presidency-poll-transition/index.html"Two weeks after Election Day, most Americans say President-elect Donald Trump will ultimately do a good job as president, though fewer approve of the way he's handled the transition so far, according to a new CNN/ORC Poll.
A narrow majority (53%), say they think Trump will do a very or fairly good job as president, and 40% say they have a lot of confidence in Trump to deal with the economy, a share that outpaces the percentage who had that much confidence in Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton or Ronald Reagan ahead of their first inaugurations."
Doesn't pass the sniff test. . .

I usually hang up on pollsters but this time I was curious and spoiling to vent.

Oh, and some people just lie to pollsters and some polls are lies.

and most times the questions are structured as to give an outcome that the pollsters want, irregardless of how either of us responds.
Many times I just simply f with them since I know what they're game is anyway. So yes I agree with you 100% on all points
