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.
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?
Bots, bots everywhere.
Do not read, nor listen to anything on FB other than your family & friends actual personal posts. Not repost, memes, etc.
How do the bots infiltrate people’s social circles? Like who is seeking out and befriending these bots? Maybe I don’t understand how FB works as I stopped using it like nearly 20 years ago.
Some people collect “friends” without vetting who’s who. In addition, there are a lot of Spam accounts that show up on main feed pages and people interact with those. Vast majority of it is political crap. Easily sucks people in to add their comment.
What’s in the main feed pages? Is it just your friends? Or like your friends + n degree of friends? Or is it just like a random twitter collection of accounts?
Friends +, then whatever random shit META feels like throwing at you.
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.
