Mileage Psycho Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Hmmm Quote Poll: 60 percent of Americans say Trump is usually dishonest A majority of Americans think that President Trump either rarely or never tells the truth, according to an NBC News/SurveyMoney poll released Wednesday. Overall, 61 percent of respondents to the online poll believe that Trump tells the truth either some of the time or never. The survey results came a day after The Washington Post's Fact Checker reported that Trump has made more than 3,000 false or misleading statements since taking office last year. Perceptions of the president's honesty are largely divided along party lines. According to the NBC News/SurveyMoney poll, 94 percent of Democrats and 76 percent of independents believe that Trump tells the the truth only occasionally or even less frequently. Republicans, on the other hand, overwhelmingly view Trump as a consistent truth-teller. Seventy-six percent said that he tells the truth either all or most of the time, while 22 percent believe that he tells the truth only some of the time or less. Among that 22 percent, more than half approve of Trump's job in the Oval Office, the poll found. The survey overall pegged Trump's approval rating at 45 percent. By comparison, 53 percent of respondents disapprove of the job Trump is doing. The NBC News/SurveyMoney poll was conducted from April 20-27 and includes responses from 10,163 adults nationwide. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/poll-60-percent-of-americans-say-trump-is-usually-dishonest/ar-AAwCpWc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriftBusta Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 64% think the press is an enemy of the American people. Far more troubling, particularly when 90% of that 60% probably couldn't tell you or prove that Trump is lying about anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mileage Psycho Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) Hmmm Republicans, on the other hand, overwhelmingly view Trump as a consistent truth-teller. Seventy-six percent said that he tells the truth either all or most of the time, while 22 percent believe that he tells the truth only some of the time or less. Let's have a look at his top five whoppers. 5. “The overall audience was, I think, the biggest ever to watch an inauguration address, which was a great thing” - 26 January 2017 The furore over the inauguration crowd feels almost quaint now, but when the White House claimed 720,000 people attended - and Trump himself went for 1.5 million - it did rather set the tone. Fact-checkers reckon the number was closer to 600,000, a third of Obama's 1.8 million-strong crowd in 2009. 4. "They take a bowling ball from 20 feet up in the air and they drop it on the hood of the car. And if the hood dents, then the car doesn't qualify... It's horrible, the way we're treated" - 14 March 2018 This is apparently how Japanese firms use industry standard tests to block American companies from selling cars in their country and protect trade. Politifact reckon Trump has somehow misconstrued the pedestrian head protection performance test, which measures how much force a person's head would absorb in a collision - so, basically, the exact opposite of smashing the bonnet of a car up. You'll be surprised to learn the test also features precisely zero bowling balls. 3. "You know, one of the things that people don’t understand — we have signed more legislation than anybody. We broke the record of Harry Truman" - 27 December 2017 Afraid not. In his 336 days in office, which was where he was at when he made the claim, Trump ranked last of any post-war president for legislation passed. He'd hit 96 bills by 28 December, 13 behind George W Bush with the next fewest. 2. "We've got to keep our country safe. You look at what's happening in Germany, you look what's happening last night in Sweden. Sweden! Who would believe this?" - 18 February 2017 In an attempt to puff up his travel ban, Trump criticised Europe's refugee policies. Look at Sweden! Look at it! So everyone did, and Sweden turned round, slightly confusedly, and pointed out that the worst thing that had happened that day was an avalanche warning. Who would believe this, indeed. 1. "I never said Russia did not meddle in the election, I said 'it may be Russia, or China or another country or group, or it may be a 400 pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer'" - 22 September 2017 Besides usually couching any near-admission that Russia might have tried to swing the election alongside wild guesses about who else it could have been, Trump repeatedly called the idea of Russian interference a "hoax" and "a made-up story" and told Time magazine: "I don't believe they interfered". He also believes the butter-wouldn't-melt Vladimir Putin's word on the matter ("Every time he sees me, he says, ‘I didn't do that. And I really believe that when he tells me that, he means it."). So there. https://www.esquire.com/uk/latest-news/a20111768/donald-trump-has-managed-to-tell-3001-lies-as-president-here-are-five-of-his-best/ Edited May 2, 2018 by Mileage Psycho forgot the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted May 2, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 2, 2018 Nothing new. People who supported Hillary complaining about Trump's truthfulness. Forty-seven percent of Americans sampled said they don't believe Mr. Obama is being truthful about when he was informed of the IRS targeting scandal, which has been roiling Washington for weeks, while only 40 percent believe him. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/polls-recent-controversies-deplete-public-trust-in-obama-administration/ Sixty-one percent of respondents in the poll released Thursday said Obama lies at least some of the time on important issues. An additional 20 percent said he lies every now and then. Only 15 percent believe the president is completely truthful. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/poll-most-americans-believe-obama-lies-on-important-issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there. OMG. Those are "whoppers?" As for the audience size. It wasn't as large as Obama's but that comparison you gave is not accurate.
