Nice try. Strongly approve and strongly disapprove are only partial categories. Combined they equal 99% as shown here:

yea partial categories, when you add all 4, you still end up with 167%

if you look at approve and disapprove, its a 45/54 split in favor of disapprove. those equal 99% but are still only partial categories.

im just pointing out that the strongly approve/disapprove graph is extremely misleading.

i also wouldnt call a study that is based on an automated cold call machine, that targets people that are home during normal work hours, I.E. unemployed or retired people very accurate. god forbid you ever press the wrong button on a phone.
