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.
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.
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.
Having fewer parties is a big boost. So is the propoganda apparatus the right has.
What planet do the 30% who responded that things are cheaper live on?
The 30% that are always against society progressing
hmm interesting point. They can afford the new price so it’s an advantage to them. A new way to keep the poor down.
There are the poor and destitute amongst that 30% too, they tell themselves that things aren’t more expensive because it will challenge their understanding of the world
We needed a poll for this? We really are fucked.
Welcome to the pedoeconomy.
Well his whole campaign was about tariffs AND lowering prices. The two don’t mix, America! This is not new news.
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.
What specific ways can adding tariffs lower prices? The entire concept involved raising the price of foreign goods so that more expensive local ones can compete. The net result is ALWAYS higher prices on those goods. Often to more than the expensive local one cost to begin with, as they raise their prices just under that of the tariff price
Basically very rarely you will get a situation wherein putting a tariff on specific foodstuffs will lower the price, but you also need to incentives to lower export as well. Like I said I don’t even know if it’s technically possible anymore since the last time I know of it working was back in the 1800s in South America.
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
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.
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.
Americans are VERY Smart Peoples!
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.
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
And more recently, even he’s admitted he can’t.
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.
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.
