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.
Go ahead and slant the CPI reports too you fucking stupid idiot. The only people that care about the fucking things are people on wall street. Most people shop for their own groceries and can see with their own two eyes that prices are increasing. All but the most devout of your cult members can tell you that you’re full of shit and inflation is still terrible.
He endorses the self enrichment of the capitalist class. Their self enrichment is nothing but blood money at this point. Logically him and all his policies are just free game on looting American families by any means necessary without ethical government regulation. The lack of ethics and accountability has been bad for a long time already in this country but now it’s gloves off. We either revolt or end up in a pedo-tech bro feudal dictatorship as serfs who they allow to live as long as we’re useful.
When / how do we do the thing though?
Welcome to the pedoeconomy.
So nothing’s changed. Still 1/3 of the country accepts this man’s lies eagerly
You may need to check your math there. It’s less than 1/4 based on this article. The missing quarter shouldn’t be omitted, these are apathetic people that have no opinion, which means they don’t believe Trump.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
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.
That’s probably about right - Nixon left office in utter disgrace, according to the general mainstream narrative. However, nearly 1 in 4 Americans still approved of him at that point (24%). And that’s when the media was thought to be “liberal”, LOL.
These days the media is even LESS “liberal” than it was back then due to the blatant disinformation campaign launched in the wake of Watergate: Faux, hate radio, Breitbart, and the brosphere on podcasts and Youtube, not to mention the amount of delusional copium that is permitted on social media platforms like Xitter and FBIBook, etc…so I’d be genuinely surprised if Taco’s numbers went below 24%.
The clown still having a ~39% approval rating is absolutely insane
So many European elected politicians would love to have such a high rating… I’m always surprised at the high numbers in the US.
I don’t believe it. There’s no real polling data that’s been released that substantiates any of this.
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
cHiNa wIlL pAy tHe tArIfFs. Also, tariffs are not taxes, bro!
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!
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!
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.
Who are these 24% of people that think Trump has lowered prices?
Dumbass redhatters that could be living in a tent and wondering where their next meal is coming from, but so balls-deep in the Faux-fic and so filled with hate for most of America that they are chugging any copium about Taco.
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.
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.
doesn’t matter, literally nothing matters as long as Fox, Newsmax, OANN, etc. exist, because the cult will still live in a different reality
I think I saw Meidas replay some clip where some dipshit talking head or one of Taco’s thugs were repeating - as recent as last week - this bullshit narrative in the Faux Cinematic Universe about how Taco is still having to “deal with” a horrible mess that Biden left poor Taco.
I mean…where to even begin with this level of delusion. Yeah, the economy was in freefall under Biden. 🙄 And there was total chaos in the markets because every day different tariffs and trade agreements were being announced via a crappy Xitter knockoff site. 🙄 And Biden was spending every minute of every day finding ways to piss off our allies and so on…
The Faux-fic stuff is incredible, especially when you watch some moron spout the same thing nearly verbatim later, without one single thought in their head. It’s like they are just walking around with a few tracks in their heads (the latest updates from the grievance networks they have brand loyalty to) they can press play on and they repeat them.
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
