ht. BREAKING: Donald Trump gets SHOCKINGLY bad news as polling reveals that 62% of Americans believe that the country is headed in the wrong direction under his leadership.
And it gets so much better…
71% of independents and 92% feel that way, according to the American Values Survey by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute. Amongst Republicans, 24% now agree that we are headed in the wrong direction. And while that number should be higher given the dire state of our nation, it’s high for what is normally a cultishly loyal political party.
The poll also dove into the specific issues affecting Americans’ perception of the country. 65% of people said that the economy is headed in the wrong direction, while 65% said that about the federal government’s functioning. 60% feel that way about foreign affairs and 57% feel that way about immigration policy.
The fact that a majority of Americans oppose the White House’s immigration policy is disastrous for Donald Trump. This is his trademark issue and the core pillar of his political movement. As it turns out, normal people do not like seeing families torn apart, innocent people brutalized, and widespread violence carried out by masked government thugs. To that final point, 58% of Americans oppose ICE agents concealing their identities or using unmarked vehicles.
60% of respondents said that the administration has “gone too far” with its cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and Obamacare, an unsurprising development given the fact that Trump slashed a staggering $1 trillion from Medicaid with his “big, beautiful bill.” On top of that, the current government shutdown is a result of Republicans refusing to extend crucial Affordable Care Act subsidies. If you attack the American people’s healthcare, they’re going to notice and they’re going to hold you accountable.
According to PRRI’s CEO Melissa Deckman, independents “are very unhappy with Trump’s actions.”
All of this bodes incredibly poorly for Republican chances in the mid-term elections. Conditions are only going to worsen between now and then, because Donald Trump isn’t interested in improving the lives of the American people, he’s interested in lining his own pockets and seizing more personal power. Just yesterday, it was revealed that he’s demanding that his own Justice Department pay him $230 million as recompense for the investigations into him.
It’s worth pointing out that every crime that Trump commits, every civil right he tramples, and every dollar he pilfers from the public treasury will stick to J.D. Vance. The worst vice president in American history intends on running for president himself one day and at this rate he’ll have nothing but a legacy of ashes to run on.
