Donald Trump would be on track to win a historic landslide in November ā if so many US voters didnāt find him personally repugnant.
Roughly 53 percent of Americans have anĀ unfavorable opinionĀ of the former president. And yet, when asked about Trumpās ability to handle key issues ā or the impact of hisĀ policiesĀ āĀ voters routinelyĀ giveĀ the Republican candidate higher marks thanĀ President Biden.
In aĀ YouGov surveyĀ released this month, Trump boasted an advantage over Biden on 10 of the 15 issues polled. On the three issues that votersĀ routinely nameĀ as top priorities ā theĀ economy, immigration, and inflation ā respondents said that Trump would do a better job by double-digit margins.
Meanwhile, in aĀ recent New York Times/Siena College poll,Ā 40 percent of voters said that Trumpās policies had helped them personally, while just 18 percent said the same of Biden. If Americans could elect a normal human being with Trumpās reputation for being ātoughā on immigration and good at economics, they would almost certainly do so.
Biden is fortunate that voters do not have that option. But to erase TrumpāsĀ small but stubborn leadĀ in the polls, the president needs to erode his GOP rivalās advantage on the issues.
Peril is less bad than those communist democrats, I bet all too many morons believe.
I was basically going to say the same thing, theyāll vote anyway, party over policy. It doesnāt matter what they propose. As long as Democrats disagree with it, their constituents will vote for it, standard team-driven advertising.
Most voters donāt care about politics at all, we just want what everyone else wants - a chance at opportunity, some form of health care and social security, you know, the good life. We can all pretty much agree on that and itās really not that interesting a topic. So, politicians turn politics into a sports game because thatās what people care about and engage with, sports and competition, our old friend, Ego.
Follow your heart, not your ego.
That is politics.
Not really, just basic human rights.
Also politics.
Everything is politics. But people tend to not like to think of things as politics. Because āpolitics is boringā.
Politics explained simply is about who gets what and when they get it.
Triple funny when you consider all the communists fucking hate biden.
