I'm reading "Biden's Approval Hits a Low As Trump Leads in WSJ Poll" (WSJ).
The poll shows Trump ahead of Biden — 47% to 43% — and, with an added choice of third party/independent candidates, Trump ahead 37% to 31%.
December 10, 2023
"Only 23% of voters say Biden's policies have helped them personally, while 53% say they have been hurt by the president's agenda."
"By contrast, about half of voters say Trump's policies when he was president helped them personally, more than the 37% who say they were hurt.... 'Bidenomics,' the president's signature economic platform, is viewed favorably by less than 30% of voters and unfavorably by more than half.... ...Biden is holding only 87% of voters who told Journal pollsters that they had supported Biden against Trump in 2020, while Trump is holding 94% who recall backing him. The 'disaffected Democrats' are part of a far broader group holding a gloomy view of the economy.... Voters say Trump is the better bet than Biden to secure the border (by 30 percentage points), tame inflation (by 21 points) and build the economy (by 17 points). Biden leads on who can best deal with abortion policy, and voters say that he more than Trump respects democracy...."

Since the NewAge began, I've witnessed the media's power to convince the American people to act outside of their interests - which they have - gloating.
I'm not confident about Trump on inflation. He'd be good about driving down regulatory costs but seems to be clueless about the need for high interest rates to prevent it, seeing it as a scam to ruin the economy. He's economically illiterate on this.
High interest rates is the effect of withdrawing dollars from the economy, which is the cure for too many dollars chasing goods.
The "respecting democracy" question borders on the bizarre.
It's a deliberately a push question to remind people of Trump's questioning the last election.

$Do Better$ the Pelosi way!
Look at the party elite vs the party rank-and-file. The Democratic Party elite are all in for Biden, while the Democratic rank-and-file want him gone. Meanwhile Trump is beloved by the Republican rank-and-file and despised by the Republican elite.

If anybody thinks that letting six million “asylum seekers” into the United States with a right to housing and health care has nothing to do with shortages and long waits, well, they probably can’t be helped,
a neoconservative used to say that he was "mugged by reality"
what do you call a leftie that was mugged by bidenomics? Oh, that's right.. a Trump voter
Still within the margin of fraud.
By contrast, about half of voters say Trump's policies when he was president helped them personally, more than the 37% who say they were hurt...
I would love to hear exactly what Trump policies/actions hurt the 37%
Of course the conversely question about Biden. Which of his policies/actions helped them?
This the type of poll that rests on the unknown perspective of the respondents.
Who’s in that 23% ?
Living in an expensive state in the Northeast, Trump’s tax policy actually hurt me personally, even though I think they were the right thing to do for reasons of fostering economic growth, and tax policy fairness.
It's fine. Trump should win. Someone needs to bury the DNC in crowd.
On the flip side, 100% of the 2024 dead voters have not been hurt by Biden and his policies.
Scott Adams says there's always about 25% who are wrong about everything.
19,000 illegal entrants abusing our asylum system are entering Arizona each week.
Biden leads on who can best deal with abortion policy, and voters say that he more than Trump respects democracy...."
Trump has already begun straddling the abortion issue against the extremes. Attacking Biden on his "respect" for Democracy is fertile ground for messaging.
The 2020 election -- after the D's circular firing squad debates ended in the cooperative anointment of Biden -- revealed a room full of selfish D careerists grabbing any power/money they could and allowing each other to grab anything they wanted too. They all missed the key lessons from Trump (populism; slaying out-of-date sacred cows), and fixated on his rudeness and effectiveness (which they resented) rather than the logic of what he did.
One can easily see the fingerprints of specific D donors and voting blocs in Biden's polices. Biden is an empty funnel. Every last policy and Executive Order and agency rule reflects old (and often discredited) rocking-horse dreams and simple "get mine" greed from many decades ago. They are retrying every failed Jimmy Carter agenda item and not much more. This became obvious at least a year ago.
The problem for Biden is that voters have to buy groceries every week, not to mention gas, rent, insurance, etc. So, they notice.
Shows how powerful the democrat media still is. Biden is literally a tyrant, but the media acting in concert somehow have paintedtrump who was one of the most law abiding POTUS in my lifetime as a wannabe dictator.
"I'm not confident about Trump on inflation"
Neither am I. In fact he jawboned the Fed down just at the wrong time, when they had finally been raising rates back up .25 at a time.
When covid hit there was nowhere to go.
Any president would have been hit with rate hikes though. Kinda funny that Biden had to take the pill.
Trump, you magnificent bastard!
I wrote it before- anyone who has to eat to survive knows the claims of Bidenomics' success are lies.
"I would love to hear exactly what Trump policies/actions hurt the 37%"
"The tax plan signed by President Trump in 2017, called the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, instituted a cap on the SALT deduction. Starting with the 2018 tax year, the maximum SALT deduction available was $10,000. Previously, there was no limit."
Rich Democrats didn't like that. When they say the rich should pay their fair share of taxes, they don't mean themselves.
Since the NewAge began, I've witnessed the media's power to convince the American people to act outside of their interests - which they have - gloating.
But what's the goal? Is it a coordinated effort, or just individual psychopathic actors who just like making people dance to a tune that makes their ears bleed?
This is always where I find myself crying out into the void, "What do they want?" The usual answer I get is "Power," but are they all so short-sighted as to fail to realize that absolute power over a garbage dump is worth a lot less than partial, shifting influence over something real and valuable? (Using "garbage dump" as metaphor here - of course we have to have garbage dumps. I just don't want to live in one.)
But maybe they really are that short-sighted. Or maybe the lust for power - which I don't feel, so how can I know? - actually is so strong that all these people seeking it would rather reign in hell than serve in heaven. And for their own comfort, they elide the fact that not everyone who acts to bring about hell is going to be able to rule there.
And here I would agree with Crack, I think, in that post-modernism or New Age stuff or whatever has sufficiently tamed our societal idea of "hell" that for too many people, it's basically an orgiastic rave. Super fun.
This sounds too off-topic. But it's why I will vote for Trump again if he's the Republican nominee even though I'd way rather have deSantis: because on the Republican side, even though there's far more weasel-wording than there should be, at least the general consensus is still that gleefully atomizing society and burning history to ash and believing that We Are The Ones We've Been Waiting For (God, that guy's smug face...) is narcissistic and foolish.
For the uninitiated, here's and explanation.
1) The lower down the income level one goes, the higher percentage of the family budget dedicated to food.
2) A $100 basket of food in January 2021 now will set you back $153
3) Same with energy: gas and heating.
4) Housing inflation is a bit cooler, but still rampant.
5) Thus if you were making $15/hr the day Biden took office, you'd have to be making $18.91 now just to break even.
We really kicked the poor in the teeth.

The US Constitution does not permit a tax on wealth. It didn't even permit a tax on income until the 16th amendment was ratified.
President Trump figured out a way around this and imposed a tax on the wealthy. He did it by limiting the amount one could deduct for state/local property taxes on federal income tax. So legal and uncontroversial that even Brandon has not tried to roll it back.
I suspect that a lot of the 37% may be people who have had to pay more federal taxes because of this.
Some might be state and local officials who object to having their ability to raise more money by raising taxes hobbled.
John Henry
So with roughly half the country thinking they were better off under Trump, and only 37%thinking they were worse off, Trump became the firs president in history to garner more votes for reelection then for election- and still lost when his opponent who couldn't fill a high school auditorium with supporters got even more.
Yeah, nothing at all unusual about that, is there?
RH at 4:53
Not disagreeing, but who would you consider to economically literate presidents?
"Voters say Trump is the better bet than Biden to secure the border (by 30 percentage points),…"
Who could possibly say Biden is better at securing the border? The mind reels.
It's got to be they don't want the border secured. Or they just rote answered Biden on every question. Or both.
Who the hell are those 23%?
Military contractors?
It can only be Michelle Obama if the Ds want to keep power.
They can't piss on a 'black' woman VP by replacing Joe with a caricature of a smarmy white man.
23% of the American voters are in on the graft? Many more people than I had imagined. Oh, probably includes recent college grads who got degrees in subjects ending in the word “studies.” In Trump’s world they’d have had to study something at which they could earn a living.
[Trump is] economically illiterate on this.
Trump has a degree in economics from Wharton, back when it was still Wharton.
I don't know why anyone would vote for Biden unless you personally are getting money from some program he pushed, or are helped by policies he enacted.
He's destroying the USA.
Polls? Polls don't matter. Only the control of mail-in vote harvesting and vote counting in a few key states matters to the election in 2024.
If polls mattered, would the administration with its dementia puppet Biden be doing what they have been doing?

Actually that is being argued in the Supreme Court now. See Moore vs U.S.
Banning Trump from Twitter may very well have been the point where the left guaranteed his reelection. Once he was out of people's daily lives, they could realize how much good he did for them, and he suddenly compares favorably to Biden.
The monkey's paw clenches into a fist, then slowly uncurls its middle finger...
William,
Actually no. Moore is not about taxing wealth. It is about whether the govt can tax unrealized gains.
The govt wants to claim that if your house increased in value from 100m to $200m that $100m is income, even if not received because you didn't sell the house.
It is not a tax on wealth. It is a tax on the increase in wealth. That is the definition of income.
The question before the court is whether it is still income if not received.
Nothing to do with wealth.
John Henry
Might president emeritus Trump benefit from Moore?
If unrealized gains can be taxed, unrealized losses can be deducted. If pedjt can show that he spent $200mm on Mal but the court rules it is worth $18mm, he can claim a loss of $182mm,right?
Or,probably irs will claim it only works in one direction

"John henry said...

John Henry, always like your comments but this is ridiculous. Income is not an increase in wealth. Hell half of the US has no wealth but does have an income.
