Chuck Schumer, for one. Democrats have been promoting the idea that Trump’s poll numbers are in the toilet, his voters are experiencing buyer’s remorse, and so on. Actually, Trump’s numbers are pretty good, and clearly better than Joe Biden’s, which is the most relevant comparison. But who is really down in the polls? A reporter asks Schumer an inconvenient question:
LMAO! A reporter just EMBARRASSED Chuck Schumer after Chuck claimed Trump’s poll numbers were bad
REPORTER: “There's a poll out today that has your approval rating lower than any other Congressional leader at 17%…”
SCHUMER: “POLLS COME AND GO!”

Politicians all swear by the polls, except when they don’t. But more significant than Schumer’s personal poll numbers, which are dragged down by antipathy from the activist wing of his party, is the fact that more broadly, the Democratic Party’s approval rating is in the 20s–way below Trump’s.
Maybe if they align themselves with more Central American gangsters and firebomb more Tesla dealerships, their numbers will improve.
