A new poll found more Americans are unhappy with Donald Trump’s stances on the economy and cost of living, with almost twice as many saying the president has helped raise prices rather than lowering them.
In a Yahoo/YouGov poll conducted Nov. 21-24, 49% of respondents said Trump’s actions since taking office for his second term in January have raised prices instead of cutting them. That’s a nearly two-to-one ratio to the 24% who said he’s done more to lower costs.
The survey also found more Americans (38%) blame Trump for inflation than his predecessor, former President Joe Biden (31%), despite the now-president campaigning on the economy during his successful 2024 presidential bid.
So nothing’s changed. Still 1/3 of the country accepts this man’s lies eagerly
The absolute floor is maybe, maybe 22%. That’s the cult that will always follow him.
And what’s sitting on the edge right now
I would guess the polls are written with some bias in questioning and we hit an absolute low in polling of just under 30% if we have direct air “support” in Venezuela. If he dares to actually put boots on the ground there officially then no poll phrasing can keep him above 25%.
Another drop would be a public support of Israel (apart from maybe with Iran as that’s for some reason ok with Americans). But any large news story of Israel acting hostile to its neighbors enough that even the New York Times has to report it, well, shits quiet in Israel for a reason right now. Trump doesn’t want to lose more favor with the MTG portion of his party that are on the right side of history for all the wrong reasons.
Edit: not to say Israel isn’t continuing genocide and settlement expansion. It is. But it’s being careful to not hit the point that liberal media would be forced to report it. The recent execution video in the west bank was apparently not enough for the western media to care.
That’s probably about right - Nixon left office in utter disgrace, according to the general mainstream narrative. However, nearly 1 in 4 Americans still approved of him at that point (24%). And that’s when the media was thought to be “liberal”, LOL.
These days the media is even LESS “liberal” than it was back then due to the blatant disinformation campaign launched in the wake of Watergate: Faux, hate radio, Breitbart, and the brosphere on podcasts and Youtube, not to mention the amount of delusional copium that is permitted on social media platforms like Xitter and FBIBook, etc…so I’d be genuinely surprised if Taco’s numbers went below 24%.
The clown still having a ~39% approval rating is absolutely insane
So many European elected politicians would love to have such a high rating… I’m always surprised at the high numbers in the US.
I don’t believe it. There’s no real polling data that’s been released that substantiates any of this.
