The Trump administration is more trusted than the news media among voters, according to a new Emerson College poll.

The administration is considered truthful by 49 percent of registered voters and untruthful by 48 percent.

The poll was conducted Feb. 5-6 with a sample of 617 registered voters and a margin of error of 3.9 percentage points.

In a country of over 300 million, 617 is just not a statistically valid sample. There is no amount of horseshit you can shovel at me to make me buy an error margin of only 3.9 percent.
