55% of voters support birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants, with 63% believing it is a requirement in the U.S. constitution, breaking with Trump on the issue.
Ok, so 37% are denying reality

Most notably, Trump is outperforming Biden’s public perception across a variety of issues. Of those surveyed by the Harvard/Harris poll, 58% said Trump is doing better overall now than Biden at the end of his term in January.
—On the economy, 49% approved of Trump’s handling compared to just 37% for Biden at the end of his term.
People thinking Trump is doing better than Biden is different than people thinking Trump is doing well. It's definitely biased by Trump blaming everything going wrong with the destruction of the federal government on Biden, and DEI and wokeness etc.
The parts of the economy that are/were going well are from Biden's inflation reduction measures. Likewise, the shit economy in 2021 was what Trump's COVID response brought him. Like it sounds like a double standard on the surface, but the idea is that Trump and Musk are currently breaking the government, but people are only going to start feeling it in a few months.

That's a fucking dream. People don't react to reality. They react to their perceptions. And everything has been tee'd up for the Trump regime to dictate the perception of the mass of Americans who don't follow politics or don't care, in addition to already controlling the perceptions of their party-line goons.
Trump, like Hitler, will be able to run the country into the ground, and still have majority support a decade after everything has been turned to rubble.

Polls from Gallup, Ipsos, CNN, and Quinnipiac show Trump's approval rating between 45-47% while one from YouGov puts him exactly at 50%.
This poll:
Donald Trump's favorability stands at 50%, with a net favorable of +7 points.
Unfortunately, it will probably get worse.
History demonstrates that it's very likely to get much worse. Too many humans refuse to ever admit they might be wrong. The problem is each time things get pushed to the limit, it affects more and more of the world at the same time. This may be one of the last - if not the last - times we get to go through this cycle and still manage to survive as a relatively civilized set of societies.
Yeah. Republicans love trump and hate biden. Democrats hate trump and only centrist democrats like biden.
Yeah, plus a lot of people in the Democratic party are more comfortable going after Ilhan Omar and protesting college students than their Republican friends, so the counter messaging has been totally incoherent and confused and that's gotta be helping Trump's poll numbers a bit
And quite frankly, among (young) progressive people, getting attacked head-on by Trump is somewhat more predictable and less emotionally taxing than getting backstabbed and gaslighted by liberals.
Which is why a lot of them didn't vote for Kamala.
I don't yet know where the American political realignment will end, but the liberal/progressive coalition that elected Clinton, Obama and Biden seems to be irreparably damaged.
Yeah. There's nothing like cutting our own throats.
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(tm) 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 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.

Among Republicans, 71% of respondents believe the country is trending positively under Trump, compared to 21% of Democrats and 31% of independents.
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.
