    Trump’s approval rating is listed at 35%. Was I, an American, ever polled on this? No. Am I rejecting it outright because clearly based on my own experience the sample size was not 100%? Nope.

    If the Jewish population, especially those living in Israel, don’t want to be lumped in with genocide, they can do something about it. Same as Americans who don’t want to be lumped in with those committing the destruction of the American country. I’m lumped in until I do something about it, and that’s fair. Want a good name? Make it.

      Um, ok, but you didn’t say the Jewish population of where. Israel? The US? The world? Pretty useless to throw out a number without clarifying that. I guess what I should’ve said is ‘what, they asked a representative sample of every Jewish population or community on the planet?’

      Also ‘an approval rating of x’ means ‘x% of POLLED Americans approve’, NOT ‘x% of Americans approve’. Statistics are misleading when you use imprecise language like that.
