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.
Well his whole campaign was about tariffs AND lowering prices. The two don’t mix, America! This is not new news.
“Adding things make thing go up big? No, ugg, add thing make thing go down small” -the average tRUMP supporter
Well, his all of his campaigns were about assuring his voters that nothing going wrong with the country was there fault in any way and they wouldn’t have to change their behavior at all to fix it. Tariffs was just something he fixated when he didn’t know how to deliever.
They could mix if done in very specific ways, but there’s no way in hell Trump could do that. I’m not even sure anyone could do that anymore.
Maybe not to the rest of us, but it is news to the MAGA crowd!
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.
- Hiding Epstein files
- No affordability
And what’s sitting on the edge right now
- New useless (for working class Americans) invasion of a third world country
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.
I don’t believe it. There’s no real polling data that’s been released that substantiates any of this.
It doesn’t matter what Americans say anymore. Trump can’t run again. If he manages to hold on to power past Jan 2029, he won’t need popular opinion (or votes) to do it.
Trump can’t run again.
Really?
in four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.
-Trump on July 27, 2024
Exactly, if Trump is still President past Jan 2029, he won’t need an election to do it. We won’t have to vote!
Say what you will about Trump, but he delivers on his campaign promises. Albeit with a monkeys paw.
Of course, his supporters thought he was exaggerating or talking hyperbolically. They believed him when he claimed to never know about Project 2025. And maybe he really didn’t, who knows. Its pretty clear he doesn’t know wtf he’s doing or even where he even is most days. He talks out of his ass constantly. But they find that endearing, I guess.
Its funny, the same people worried about a shadow government, rounding up citizens for FEMA death camps, poisoning our water supply, etc…elected us a guy who did and does all those things. Proudly, even.
Personally I think a political leader, while they should be likeable (I mean, that should be a bare requirement to even get anywhere in politics in the first place), they should also be composed, professional, respectful, and even if they disagree with you, do so receptively and constructively. He is none of these things, and they think that makes him great. Really it just makes him a baffoon and makes the entire country a laughing stock.
Soggy corpo middle manager types are unelectable anymore
He’ll need to be dead. That should be the ONLY acceptable result for anyone in a third term.
They wanna talk about third term abortions? Let’s show em.
He’ll need to be dead.
This quote has me worried for what comes next. And has since the election.
Although I remember hearing it closer to October when they had the debates.
It’s the quote that substantiates every American training with a long gun.
The amount of people I see on facebook calling the polling bullshit is insane. Everyone just writes it off as only dems being polled, etc etc. I know facebook is an absolute shitshow to begin with, but how much of these piles and piles of comments are just propaganda bots doing their thing?
A lot are propaganda bots. I don’t trust a damn thing on Facebook, even the ones saying opinions I agree with.
Citing or referencing Facebook was the first issue here.
Don’t worry, there are plenty of rubes who believe that sLeEpY jOe and BARACK HUSSEIN are making everything more expensive at Walmart.
Americans are VERY Smart Peoples!
Who are these 24% of people that think Trump has lowered prices?
Those are the people that voted for him. Remember that 64 percent of the voting age voted in 2024. 49.8% of the voters were for Trump and 48.3% for Harris.
49.8% of the 64% of those who voted is about 32% of the total voting population.
Of those, majority still believe him.
So if 2:1 believe he raised prices, that actually tracks, given that 1/3 voted for him, 1/3 did not, and 1/3 did not vote.
66% didn’t vote for him or 2:1.
The real issue is that those 1/3 that didn’t vote, could have helped prevent this. Hope they learn, some will, but who knows.
Many are disenfranchised for some reason or another.
And I love they’re getting what the voted for.
You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know.… morons.
It’s not okay to only quote this genius moment!
doesn’t matter, literally nothing matters as long as Fox, Newsmax, OANN, etc. exist, because the cult will still live in a different reality
He’s lowered the lost of living for the parasite class that only takes, they now no longer contribute to the society they are economically pillaging
