CNN is skewing polling data to show the majority of Americans disapprove of the way President Donald Trump is handling the presidency.

The network published a poll Sunday that claims 35 percent of American adults approve of how Trump is performing as president. Those results are in stark contrast to a Monday Rasmussen Reports poll that found 49 percent of respondents approved of how the president is managing the White House.

What accounts for a roughly 15 percentage point disparity?

Hey, the MSM has honest, and trustworthy polls.  All the high tech stuff.  Just ask President Hillary Clinton, who won in a landslide election!

Polls don't lie (but pollsters do).

But, but, but - the exec in 2010 was only HALF black. So - if 57% were racist, and 43% were not racist, which portion were racist against which color?

Sproink - now I have a headache. Thanks... ;)

Technically CNN hired SSRS to do their poling. 

SSRS is a relatively new polling organization that seems to have a very strong left lean.  In the 2006 elections, they had one of the most inaccurate polls out there - they gave Hillary a 10 point lead, with her winning 50%-40%.  For comparison, there were online surveys done on SurveyMonkey that were more accurate.  My observation is that they seem to use smaller sample sizes and that their corrections don't appear to be very good. 

My conclusion, they have introduced a personal bias into their polling methods and they're just not very good at what they do.

 Exactly correct.

 But the pukes that run CNN aren't stupid, and they know this information as well.  Their (CNN) intent is to use the poll as propaganda just as they manufacture news stories (fake news) to drive the narrative of the Alt Left radicals.  Look no further than a CNN "town hall" broadcast which is scripted.  Or look at CNN's practice of paying to have their channel broadcasting in public places.

 CNN is today what Pravda was back in the cold war.

Polling organizations often push poll for the exact result they wish to hand to the purchaser.
It's not any kind of scientific polling.
It's propaganda polling to cause public opinion, instead of reflect it.

CNN pays to be broadcast in public places?  I hadn't heard this before but it doesn't surprise me.
