Here’s Why Many Pollsters Are Probably Still Getting Support For Trump Wrong

Pollsters appear to be misreading support for Donald Trump’s presidency for the same reason they got it wrong on the campaign trail. Many so-called “shy” Trump supporters are hesitant to express their support.

Approval ratings for the president vary wildly in the polls on what the American people think of his first few weeks in office. A recent CBS poll found just 40 percent approve of his job so far, a rather abysmal number. A Rasmussen survey released Friday found a much higher number — 54 percent — approve of Trump’s presidency. The disparate ratings could be explained by the fact that Rasmussen conducted the poll via automated phone calls and online surveys, which afforded respondents a much greater degree of anonymity, while CBS used more traditional live interviews over the phone.
