Donald Trump Demands Investigations Into Negative Approval Rating Polls

45. And of course, Trump is lying here as well.

"The New York Times has only 37% Trump 2024 voters, and the ABC/Washington Post Poll has only 34% Trump Voters, unheard of numbers unless looking for a negative result, which they are."

In the NYT/Siena poll, 16% of their sample said they didn't vote in 2024 which seems very high (It would not surprise me if a significant percentage of these people actually voted for Trump but are too embarrassed to admit it now). But amongst those that did, 38% voted for Trump and 38% Harris. When they removed the "did not vote" people, it was 46% to 46%. 6% said they didn't know or refused to answer. I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of those are Trump voters too embarrassed to admit it at this point. Ultimately, the sample was, at worst, 50-50 between Trump and Harris which is what you should expect and in no way a sample that is biased against Trump.

The WaPo/ABC poll was similar. For some reason, they showed an even larger group of people who did not vote in 2024. Again, I would have to guess that there are significant numbers of Trump voters embarrassed by their Trump vote at this point so they lied and said they didn't vote. The breakdown in this poll was:

Voted - Harris = 848 / Voted - Trump = 842 / Did not vote = 729

So again, 50-50 between Trump and Harris which would not in any way be biased against Trump.
