I’m sure Aryan Globalist Bro will find a way to spin this …
On Trump’s priorities:
The Trump administration is perceived as overly focused on foreign affairs at the expense of fixing the economy and lowering costs for Americans.
On Greenland:
There is no public support for buying Greenland or using military force to take Greenland. Congress is unwilling to purchase Greenland or attack a NATO ally. Greenland doesn’t want to be annexed by the United States. The only thing Trump has accomplished is poisoning relations with the EU.
On Iran:
By a 2-to-1 margin, Americans oppose regime change in Iran. Independents are hostile. The issue divides the Republican base. Trump seems bent on doing it anyway to appease donors.
On immigration:
Trump is also blowing it on immigration.
Support for ICE and mass deportations is cratering thanks to these theatrical raids. The numbers are headed in the wrong direction even though barely 250,000 people have been deported.
I voted for Trump.
Obviously, I support immigration restriction and mass deportations, but the Trump administration is going off the rails. The focus should be on fixing the economy, not on Greenland, Venezuela or Iran.
Greenland will be divided up amongst the oligarchs and the Trump Boys will carve off the choicest cuts for themselves. The current Greenlanders might get $1M apiece for a hush payment but us mainland peasants won’t get anything per usual other than a tax bill to pay for US Imperialism.
Most White Americans don’t have the stomach for what it would really take to achieve mass deportations. Surprise, surprise. Most don’t even have the stomach for effective law enforcement, and then wonder why 15-time felon crackhead blacks are allowed to roam free and stab to death or burn alive White people on public transportation, or “randomly” kill Whites just out innocently walking their dogs…
I do agree with the poll in that Trump’s foreign policy is a total off-the-rails train wreck. As for the domestic American economy, it only continues to pick up speed on its decades-long trajectory of squeezing to death all but the elites.
Interactive polls 2022 is generally reputable and accurate. However, their weighted averages are out of date. Specifically, large numbers of Democrats have unaffiliated and moved to Independent and Trump supporting Independents have switched with Anti Trump Republicans making these independent numbers seem dramatic. More importantly, we don’t know how much they are assigning to each Partisan category.
The Democrats have hemorrhages voter registration and participation. Republicans have made small increases, mostly from independents joining the party with a small but not insubstantial number of Democrats.
For Independents, most of their non Trump voters have switched with Republican affiliated Independents who moved into the party. This means that historically, independents were broadly evenly divided with a tilt toward Republicans. Now, Independents have had an influx of Democrats thereby increasing the Democrat leaning affiliate numbers, while Republican Leaning Independents have impacted by Anti-Trump Republicans.
My interest is in seeing what the percentages IAPolls2022 is assigning each category. The margins of approve and disapprove of Trump’s policies aforementioned for each of the major party categories seems correct. I think the Independents are being given to much weight and a substantial number of Trump supporting Independents are being undercounted.
Regardless, the swing inside the Independents is substantial enough, but I’d make it a closer 50 50 given the aforementioned caveats. So until I know what IAPolls2022 is assigning the categories I can’t judge their overall assessment. CBS leans left, I generally add anywhere 5-10 or even more points in Trump’s favour in almost all their polls. More later.
Trump is down on immigration because he is going too slow and letting the radicals impede progress – that’s both the AWFLs and the judges. Hammer down and his ratings pop. In the immortal words of Elvis, “a little less talk a little more action please”.
