I would be interested in knowing the reasons DEMOCRATS in here think Trump won

New Poll Shows Massive Support for President Trump and His Agenda​




The White House

A new poll by Harvard CAPS-Harris reveals the majority of the country backs President Donald J. Trump and his actions to bring much-needed reforms that are making America great again.


  • Americans overwhelmingly support President Trump’s agenda.
    • 81% support deporting criminal illegal immigrants.

    • 59% support cutting government spending already approved by Congress.
    • 57% support ending the ban on new offshore drilling.
  • Most Americans approve of President Trump’s job performance — including pluralities of men, women, independents, and Americans who live in urban, suburban, and rural areas — while almost six-in-ten say he’s doing a better job than President Biden.
  • Almost half of Americans believe the U.S. economy is “strong” under President Trump — the highest number since 2021 — while a plurality say his policies will make them “financially better off.”
  • Americans are significantly more optimistic about the direction of the country, with those who say we’re on the right track up 14 points over last month.
  • Americans strongly support President Trump’s effort to root out waste, fraud, and abuse in government.
    • 77% support a “full examination of all government expenditures.”
    • 72% agree there should be a government agency “focused on efficiency.”
    • 70% say government is “filled with waste, fraud, and inefficiency.”
    • Two-thirds say Congress should join the “effort to reduce government expenditures.”

    • 61% support reciprocal tariffs.
    • 57% say tariffs are an “effective foreign and economic policy tool.”
    • 54% say tariffs will help get “concessions from other countries.”

That's pretty far from being a "new poll" at this point.

Whoops, and you just got done making a smart comment.... now you're back to your usual self.

Trump is currently the most popular that he's ever been.

"that he's ever been" being the key.
The thing with him though is that the vast majority of people either deeply love him or deeply hate him (there's very little in-between or indifference or otherwise).

Which is why his approval and popularity has a ceiling and why he has lost the popular vote in 2 of 3 elections and 2024 was the 4th smallest margin since 1960.

I stand by what I said. Had Americans been the least bit informed or had paid attention during trump 45 - no fucking way would they have voted that maniac in - why am I sure? Because because they were paying more for eggs and gas (which they're still doing) they thought it was all Biden's fault - like the president can affect the price of eggs.

Also: blow me.

That we are willing to go with Trump....that he is the least bad option...is your sign that we are in Big Fucking Trouble.
 
I am MAGA.....but so far I am all the way into Camp Show Me on whether this counter revolution will interrupt the enslavement of the masses.

When or where did I call that fake news? I’m sure you can provide a link to a post where I said that.

Well, I guess since this is a forum for all of us to state our opinions, if the NY Times or the Economist editorial page doesn't say the same things I do, then that should be ok.

I can't wait to post a NY Times opinion article that you won't shoot down. I won't hold my breath.

Trump won largely because conservatives are gullible idiots who lack the ability to see the overall, longer term implications for a democracy based on a strictly adhered to code of conduct and respect for the law and the traditions that have kept this country what the framers intended for it to be.... a nation of laws in which the highest leaders are held to the highest standards and scrupulously avoid even the appearance of impropriety.

Trump is just shitting and pissing all over all of that while the dumbass rednecks who voted for him cheer because it makes the lib'ruls mad.

Yes, part of their reasoning was understandable because of extreme leftist ideology, but there were plenty of hard right-wing candidates in the running who'd have kept any of that from becoming law, who conservatives could have chosen without electing a train wreck just to destroy 200+ years of work building what we have.

There is no excuse for electing trump other than foisting your hatred and resentment onto the rest of the country for the purpose of punishment and revenge even if it destroys you all with it.

Just plain ignorance.

Your post clearly explains why Trump won just not how you think. Ironic really.

More ok than your opinions. Like most here, left and right, you’re a political hack. Incapable of independent thought.

I can't wait to post a NY Times opinion article that you won't shoot down.

Go ahead. The NYTimes is definitely left bias but they do publish differing views.

I won't hold my breath.

I don’t think you understand what you just said. Basically, you said you won’t find a NYT article I won’t disagree with.

Typical democrat, believing their view are "everyone" no matter how low their ideas poll with the actual "everyone".

You are not well and should do some self reflection. It's not too late to wake up and smell the coffee.
