Trump has sabotaged and botched the coronavirus crisis since the beginning.
That’s why so many people laughed when Lou Dobbs hosted a poll on Fox Business asking viewers how they grade Trump’s handling of the virus, with the options ranging from “superb” to “very good.”
Here’s what Twitter is saying about Dobb’s sham poll:

Dear Leader Trump…
Even by Lou Dobbs standards, this poll has really strong North Korean vibes pic.twitter.com/wmbIHWth7d

If they are only going to put positive choices, they might as well have put a 10/10 option
Absolute iconic poll by @LouDobbs and Fox News tonight. I’m only upset there wasn’t a “10/10” option. pic.twitter.com/2XHORtgvvf

Now, this seems like a more accurate poll.
If the options above don't cover your choice, here's another poll:
How would you grade President Trump’s leadership in the nation's fight against #COVID19 ?— Bendy (@BedboundBendy) March 19, 2020

If people are giving their choices this way, the poll probably needs to be adjusted.
Well you didn’t have my choice on there which is abysmal. For him it is all about him. He lacks leadership, intelligence, listening skills from experts. He waited a month before responding seriously. So your poll is your bias & reveals a lot about your own inability 2 see truth

By Lou Dobbs standards, this poll should be fair, right?
My poll: is Lou Dobbs a joke, a clown, a loser, or a pathetic lackey for a wannabe dictator whose breathlessly pro-Trump disinformation campaign is dangerous for the nation? https://t.co/72oWm1GL8M

These new options are nice.
@LouDobbs this is the poll you should have asked us to respond to. @foxnewsdesk how do you keep this moron on the air? pic.twitter.com/RJgEHmVXUP

Double standards, right?
Better more accurate poll

There is currently a high demand for toilet paper, so it’s no surprise someone thought of this.
If only this poll could be used for toilet paper.

Funny how a similar poll was once created but was a joke rather than serious.
pssst.. That Colbert character/bit was actually making fun of how Fox News handled Bush.
Colbert created a caricature of Fox News hosts and exaggerated their softball questions and polls about Bush.
And yet, here we are today with a real “poll” from Lou Dobbs. pic.twitter.com/YGDT8QKCUg

A poll has to be very frowned upon when someone describes it as”Hindenburg full of smallpox crashing into the Titanic.”
How would you rate this poll:
° Bad?
° Awful?
° Disaster?

Since the majority of Americans are getting their information from social media rather than newspapers, people are basically looking at information through a telescope.
It’s no surprise that people like Lou Dobbs are trying to take advantage of the limited amount of information most people take in, thinking he could create such a poll.
Thankfully, many people quickly took notice of how ridiculous the poll is.
Maybe someone should analyze how many voted in Dobb’s poll to determine how many don’t know the difference between media and journalism, or polls and propaganda.
