This is disgraceful The US doesn’t have a better ally. Meanwhile, Trump sucks up to dictators.
a different poll:
Category: Polls
35% think Trump is honest
75% of Republicans do and that’s the problem. They believe all kinds of lies.
70% of voters think Trump shouldn’t fire Mueller
66% of Republicans believe Trump’s lie that there were spies in his campaign. There are no facts to support it and prominent congressional Republicans have said it’s not true. The Republican voters believe Trump.
A majority of Republicans think the media is the enemy of the people
This is frightening and sad.
Majority of Americans do not think NFL players kneeling is unpatriotic
A new poll shows that the majority of Americans do not think kneeling during the anthem is inherently unpatriotic.
The poll shows that “Republican voters say 70 – 23 percent that these NFL players are unpatriotic.”
Those are the only voters Trump cares about. He has no interest in being president of the entire country. He has lied about the reason for the protest to rile up his base.
Sad!
Latest NBC/WSJ poll
links and tweets on the poll
Trump’s popularity has increased
Democrats have a 10% point edge in the generic congress question
Democrats and Republicans see the economy very differently
Democrats and Republicans have very different views on the economy.
The article states: “Since the 2016 election, the partisan economic expectations gap—that is, the difference between Republicans’ and Democrats’ assessment of the economy’s direction—has widened to an unprecedented level, going from roughly 20 points during the presidencies of Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama to 56 points today. Democrats now expect an imminent recession, whereas Republicans anticipate a robust spell of growth to just keep going.”
Why Republicans will do nothing to stop Trump
Republicans in Congress won’t do anything to stop Trump because he is so popular with their voters. They should be ashamed of their cowardice.
Sad!
Insights on life in urban, suburban and rural areas
Three articles worth reading:
This Pew Research article discusses the differences and similarities between people in urban, suburban and rural areas.
Rural Americans are less optimistic about their financial future.
Concern about gun safety has declined to pre-Parkland levels
Gun safety is not a top concern anymore and I am doubtful we will get legislation passed as long as the NRA-sponsored Republicans are in charge. How many mass shootings do we have to have before Congress does something?
From this article: “Guns or gun control as the top problem has returned to pre-Parkland levels. The percentage of Americans naming guns or gun control as the nation’s most important problem spiked after the February shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, rising from 1% in January to 13% in March. This issue fell back to 6% by April and is now at 3%.”
Another poll also shows a decline in support for gun control.
