A new CBS News/YouGov poll showed that Americans are increasingly critical of Trump’s handling of the economy, and that more people are blaming him than a month earlier. It surveyed 2,410 U.S. adults from April 8 to 11.
When asked whose policies are more responsible for the state of the economy, 54% said they believe Trump’s policies are more to blame. Only 21% said they believe Biden’s policies are to blame. 20% said both of their policies are equally to blame, while 5% said neither are to blame for the state of the economy.
This compares to a March CBS News poll, when 38% of respondents said they blamed Biden for inflation, while only 34% blamed Trump.
A poll from YouGov and The Economist also showed that more Americans are blaming Trump for the economy.
Because he’s the one currently tanking the economy. Fuck Trump - even as a conservative, I can say that he and the current Republicans are awful. They singlehandedly pushed me into becoming a conservative Democrat since 2015-2016. Blue Dog Democrat or whatever.
So you were fine with decades of hate for minorities and what not, it’s the economy doing shit that you can’t tolerate?
nice bro, someone announces they’re reluctantly coming closer to our camp- attack them! good job
Look I get it, some of you are fine being in bed with the right wing and are happy moving further to right than ever standing for something.
I’m not.
This person did not stop being a conservative. The only motivation they have for not supporting Trump is the economy.
maybe. its possible there are other semi-conscious awakenings inside this person as well. cognitive dissonance makes it very, very difficult to admit you were wrong. we can’t expect people to do a 180. the people on the right win elections because they run a big tent. I personally believe the left(more-ish) in america loses elections largely due to purity tests.
anyway, its hard to say what’s inside someone’s head. I say if someone is willing to vote blue for “the economy” they’re welcome in the tent. with any luck, the influence of the other people they’re no longer knee-jerk hostile to will rub off over time, issue by issue.
Remember when Republicans seemed concerned with reducing debt? Guess some may still say that but look what’s happening with spending now at the same time they are cutting everything, and still looking to increase tax cuts for top earners. 😩
I remember when a democrat balanced the budget and gave the US a surplus from 1998-2001
And destroyed the economy as a result.
Public sector growth (federal budget surplus) is private sector atrophy.
You can keep the charade going through risky debt, like mortgage-backed securities. But since there’s no new money entering the economy, those will eventually collapse. And they did.
Whatever flaws the Clinton plan had, it was followed by 9/11 and GWB/Obama so I’m not sure how you go back and blame Clinton for that? This feels like blaming Clinton for not having a perfect solution.
I’m not super interested in blame here. Clinton did something dumb. GWB didn’t undo it.
But neither of them invented this obsession with retiring the US debt — which would in fact retire the US dollar.
It’s not the first time we’ve balanced the budget, after all.
Literally no. Please tell me when this was.
every time we had a D president, the concern goes away it’s an R in office and then spending goes through the roof.
They’ve long said it, but never shown it through actions. Just used it as a cudgel to beat social programs.
Hah, I would be ecstatic if we had a Romney now instead of what we do have. Or even a McCain. Or hell, even a GWB as long as he wasn’t allowed to invade anywhere.
Welcome friend. We may not be as cult like as Maga, but at least our representatives are worthless.
