Just a reminder to not let Lemmy be your echo chamber. Most people either don’t know about the shit we care about, or don’t care.
Unfortunately, it will probably get worse.
They need to do studies where they remove the name of the politicians and instead ask people their opinion on certain subjects and then end with their political choice and rub it in their face that they’re actually voting against their opinions by voting for Trump.
Take it from someone who has regularly played that card against conservatives:
They don’t care. It doesn’t even faze them. They trundle on with their lives and their opinions like nothing was said.
Cognitive dissonance doesn’t work on those people.
Yeah. Republicans love trump and hate biden. Democrats hate trump and only centrist democrats like biden.
All of Trump’s key policies received majority support except for renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, with deportation of illegal immigrants who have committed crimes (81%), eliminating fraud and waste in government expenditures (76%), and closing the border (76%) as the top three most supported policies.
Surely the proletariat will express their disgust with fascism any day now, we just had to Teach The Dems™ first. Any day now.
Based on the sample, this seems like a disingenuous poll.
-
We always deported felons. Yet, P01135809’s deportation rate is actually lower than Biden’s.
-
We always fought to eliminate fraud and waste. The GOP has invited felons convicted of fraud into the government.
-
The border isn’t closed and hasn’t been.
If you’re asking these sorts of questions it feels more like push polling propaganda than an honest assessment of feelings.
It is a bullshit poll.
eliminating fraud and waste in government expenditures
If you ask that question, without being extremely specific as to how “fraud” and “waste” are defined, you’re going to get mass agreement. Nobody wants their tax dollars misused. But a Dem might say giving subsidies to the oil industry is fraud and waste, while a Republican might say any money spent on non-billionaires is fraud and waste.
It’s a disengenuous poll imo
Penn was a chief strategist and pollster in the Hillary Clinton 2008 presidential campaign. Penn later became a defender of Donald Trump, opposing his impeachment, consulting on his 2020 presidential campaign, and alleging a “deep state” conspiracy against him.
It doesn’t matter that we’ve always fought to eliminate fraud and waste and that the GOP is full of frauds. They support Dear Leader ‘eliminating’ fraud and waste.
Facts don’t matter, man.
I guess that’s my point. If the poll is not based on anything other than bullshit, what’s the point of giving it any consideration?
We may as well be discussing a poll on everyone’s favorite Teletubby.

Alternative more accurate headline would be “Most Americans are really stupid and ignorant and actually believe the things Fox News (or worse) reports are even remotely truthful”.
Also, “mainstream” media is far (FAR) more critical and nitpicky about Democrats and blame everything on them. When they question Republicans the bar is usually “can you confirm that racism is bad?”.
Can you confirm that racism is bad?
“Well, you seeeee …”
Not just Fox News zombies.
But yes. Most Americans are really stupid and ignorant.
Poll is inaccurate garbage because it’s asking whether people agree with Trump’s fake goals that he claims to want instead of his actual goals that he’s actually doing
