I would like the OTHER poll.

ResearchOct 20 · 7:38 AM

This is a national survey. It cannot allocate House seats or decide individual Senate races.

I go into these rooms, enormous response, people standing, people who couldn't get IN, and then a man on a computer says something completely different. Did he count the people outside? Did he count Enthusiasm?? Very small screen for the tremendous amount of President they are trying to measure.

The margin of error applies to the estimate. It is not a credit balance for the campaign.

Donald J. TrumpOct 20 · 7:50 AM

I'm very popular with the people who approve of me. Start there.

My dashboard has tremendous numbers, now they bring this little number over and expect it to sit with the others. I want it explained, in writing, LARGE writing so they can't hide the explanation!

SUGGESTED NEXT STEP

Brief candidates on the findings before requesting a more flattering chart.

PUBLIC RECORD

The October 19 Reuters/Ipsos poll put Trump’s approval at 31%, one point below the previous survey. Registered voters favored Democrats over Republicans 47% to 35% on the generic congressional ballot. The online survey included 1,679 adults and 1,279 registered voters, with reported margins of error of 2 and 3 points respectively. National preferences do not determine individual contests or establish an election result.
