Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

A new CBS News/YouGov poll showed that Americans are increasingly critical of Trump's handling of the economy, and that more people are blaming him than a month earlier. It surveyed 2,410 U.S. adults from April 8 to 11.

When asked whose policies are more responsible for the state of the economy, 54% said they believe Trump's policies are more to blame. Only 21% said they believe Biden's policies are to blame. 20% said both of their policies are equally to blame, while 5% said neither are to blame for the state of the economy.

This compares to a March CBS News poll, when 38% of respondents said they blamed Biden for inflation, while only 34% blamed Trump.

A poll from YouGov and The Economist also showed that more Americans are blaming Trump for the economy.

Surveyed 2400 people. Out of that miniscule portion of the population, those were the results.

MAGAts are still fully stuck to drumpfs ass like remora. They will NEVER change their minds.

i mean yeah, that's how polling works. you ask a representative slice of the population and extrapolate from there. did you want them to ask all 340 million americans?

looking at another poll conducted by yougov around april 5th-8th, they had a distribution of 48% harris voters to 50% trump voters

i think you're somewhat right though, considering that in that same poll, 81% of "maga republicans" (unsure how they defined that) said they approved of trumps recent tarrifs, with 11% unsure and 7% disapproving source

The economy is being used to distract from the crimes of his followers. Too much concentration on that and not enough on how he wants send US citizens to a prison in a foreign country without any real due process.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Concentration is a good word for this, as in camps.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Its why I used that word.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago

Oh no, Trump is polling poorly? Surely if he wants to be elected again he will change course...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

True believers will blame anyone and everyone else but Trump. It's been amusing watching the excuses get more and more convoluted. It's especially ridiculous because several times on the run-up to the election, Trump mentioned that if he had ONE DAY in office, he'd fix things.

Now he's in and it's either "well, things are real tricky" or "Biden has crippled us for generations". Totally embarrassing, but it's nothing I didn't expect.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

he said" I dont care about you, just your votes" many times, and different variations too.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 days ago

"You idiots put me in power and I'm not leaving, don't care."

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's cute that people think voters opinions are going to matter much longer.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

They do still rely heavily on their base being supportive as their power base. This is also drivibg a lot of people in minor positions of power not to resist. If that were to evaporate significantly I could could see things changing significantly.

But I doubt it will.

gov going full fascist, journalists pretending polling matters

let the music continue until the titanic is fully sunk

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Oh no, he is only supported by 150 million people bow. So sad.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

This is Trump, he's immune from all consequences.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Good for the voters.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 days ago

Before the next election: "I declare the Democratic party a terrorist organization!"

Poll "problem" solved. At the rate we're going I really don't doubt this. :/

Inflation drops precipitously under Biden, gets blamed for inflation.

Make it make sense.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

and the wierd Egg inflation gimmick started by vance.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I told you Bidenomics was going to increase inflation. Now, who do you believe, Me, your God, or your lying eyes?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

God's not real, so lying eyes, 10 out of 10 times.
