U.S. Voters Don’t Want Socialist or Very Old President: Poll

[anonymoose]

Americans are least favorable toward a presidential candidate who’s a socialist or older than 75, according to an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll that said President Donald Trump’s approval rating ticked up in the past month.

Only 25 percent of respondents ranked “socialist” as a desirable trait for a candidate. Only 37 percent said “someone over 75” was desirable, according to the survey, released on Sunday.

The poll comes as Democrats line up for a chance to take on Trump in the 2020 presidential election. It suggests that 41 percent of voters would definitely or probably vote for Trump in 2020, against 48 percent who said they would vote for the Democratic candidate.

Among the perceived front-runners for the Democratic nomination are former Vice President Joe Biden, 76, and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, 77. Trump is 72.

Heading toward the first 2020 nominating contests about a year from now, Democratic primary voters reported that they prefer a nominee who proposes policies that could bring major change over one suggesting less change by a 55 percent to 42 percent margin.

Republicans in the White House, Congress and in the media have made “socialism” a significant point of attack.

The NBC/WSJ poll of 900 adults was conducted Feb. 24-27 and had an overall margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.

It's hard to put a lot of faith in these polls. While it says only 25% of respondents ranked "socialist" as a desirable trait for a candidate, many would vote for a candidate that support things that are socialist by definition because they don't consider them socialist or know what socialism is. How many of that 25%, if asked specifically, would support single payer healthcare and "free" college?

Trump is the oldest president ever. He turned 71 soon after he was sworn in. He is showing signs of Alzheimer's and was not too bright when he started.

For someone you claim isn't very bright, he kicked the political ass of someone you lefties thought could never lose.

They said the same thing about Reagan. Get a new playbook and stop embarrassing yourself.

It was true then too. Reagan had obvious signs of Alzheimers in office. If you read any the books written by insiders, you would know about Nancy covering up for him and his staff doing it too. You actually know so little. Go do some homework and quit being a jerk. Reagans press conferences were very narrow in subject matter. His handlers figured he could learn enough lines to get through a presser. His staff all said they sweated out pressers hoping he would not go off the script. Does that sound familiar to you? It should. Trump is the same way. You are not even in the administration and you cover up for Daffy the same way.
You sold your soul to this disaster. Try a little honesty.

The OP is mistaken as to age and as to what is socialism.

I understand completely that's the story you've been told. But in year two of his first term they were saying the same shit too. Perhaps if you got your information from sources other than authors that hated him you'd come off as more intelligent.

You do not know my sources. The books were written by highly placed Reagan people.If you remember the Contra hearings, Reagan was so out of it, that all watchers were embarrassed for him. He was saved because the house felt sorry for him.You really run on empty. Back then, political books did not tell all. Reagan even had a house astrologer,Quigly, advising him. Took years before that came out.

I don't remember that. We didn't like him but back then presidents were given a honeymoon so we could see what he was like. But since Obama, that is over. The first day after Obama won, the Repubs met and decided to fight any and all that Obama wanted to do. Asshole McConnell said his job was to make him a one term president.
Reagan was given room to settle policy.

As long as there are Democrats, candidates will be chosen thinking skin color and gender are qualifications.

If Americans elected someone like that to office imagine how bad his opponent must have been.

How convenient, you forgetting how the Left and their minions in the press treated Reagan from day one.

"I can say with confidence there has never been a man or a woman more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America." claims the President Democrats consider one of the best ever in the office.

How can someone so qualified get beat by someone those losing to him consider an idiot?

She got more votes and she was savaged by the Repub house and senate investigations for decades. She was found guilty of nothing. Trump will not survive investigations intact. He is a crook.

A person can be qualified but disliked. 2016 was the first election in which both candidates had negative public approval ratings.

Forgot nothing. Reagan was like Trump in many ways. He started the slash taxes and spend like crazy to deliberately jack up the debt. The people who were running him were establishing the Republican plan of crank up the debt so you can take away all social programs that help the poor and middle class. McConnell has actually said they are doing that in public. So did that jerk Ryan, I have no use for building a plutocracy, but the Repubs have almost acccomplished it.
The press was not as rough as it is now. Trump was not treated like Obama was.
Trump creates his own bad treatment. He thinks he was elected king.

LIE and LAME. But this bullshit comes from a low IQ, unaccomplished loser on the internet so there is that.
