Overall, 55% of Americans disapprove; 34 approve. I don\u2019t know how that works. Well, 55 disapprove, 34 approve, but of the 34% that approve, 67% of Republicans approve. And yet what are the Republicans doing? They are vamoosing away from this.<\/p>\n<p>It was a telephone poll conducted August 14, 15, and 16. Random sample, 1,223 adults nationwide, 55% of Americans disapprove. Shouldn\u2019t that be, based on media coverage, shouldn\u2019t that be 90%? Shouldn\u2019t the polling 90, 95% disapprove, the way the media is covering this? I mean, 55 margin of error in the poll is two or three, 55, could be 52, could be 58 as well, but it\u2019s not what we would expect. Sixty-seven percent of Republicans agree with Trump.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-244904 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-17-at-2.01.04-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-17-at-2.01.04-PM.png 1286w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-17-at-2.01.04-PM-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-17-at-2.01.04-PM-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-17-at-2.01.04-PM-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-17-at-2.01.04-PM-1080x608.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>And <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2017\/08\/17\/poll-most-voters-want-confederate-statues-to-remain\/\">another poll here<\/a>, 62% of Americans believe Confederate statues should remain.
