Trump "approval poll" offers no negative options

Source: CBS News

The joint fundraising committee of President Trump's reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee released a three-question "Inaugural Year Approval Poll" that offers readers no option to give a negative assessment of the president's first year in office. The only options for "how would you rate President Trump's first year in office" are "great," "good," "okay" and "other."

Visitors are also asked the same question of former President Barack Obama's first year in office, but that question provides "poor" as an additional response option. The third and last question the survey asks, "Do you believe the Fake News Media will fairly cover President Trump's first year approval rating?" with the options of "yes," "no" and "other."

The survey from the Trump Make America Great Again Committee requires users to provide their contact information, noting in small print at the bottom of the page that by doing so the user agrees to receiving calls and texts from Trump-associated committees.

The forum hosts would have locked the thread if you did not amend it, but Trump's tanking poll ratings are worth discussing which is why I mentioned the rule. Thanks for making the edits and welcome to DU!

Choice 1: I love our dear leader and wish him a long and happy life.

Choice 2: I am in severe need of political rehabilitation and will spend the rest of my life in a labor camp.
