CNN Poll: Just 32% of Americans now say that Trump has had the right priorities, while 68% say he hasnt paid enough attention to the countrys most important problems. Thats the presidents most negative reading on that question to date during either of his terms in office.
At the same time, Americans say, 61% to 38%, that Trumps policies will move the country in the wrong direction rather than the right one. And Trumps job approval rating among all adults remains mired at 36%.

(131,432 posts)30% Trump has the right priorities is a breakthrough, of sorts, in hard core MAGA rejecting Trump.

Ain't a basket big enough for all of 'em.

If it does, I'd gladly cop to being wrong

(13,871 posts)Because that's the only question that matters. To state the obvious, on any given question, you might get two conflicting answers, but that doesn't mean either of them are right.
We need to pay attention to costs, health, AI, climate, etc. All this Epstein and ICE stuff belongs in the hands of competent nerds who simply send pervs to prison and make sure immigration laws are enforced consistently with the law. They're important, but it would be wrong to focus solely on them, and the American people would be justifiably angry with one or both parties if that continued.

(8,741 posts)there isn't significant concern about his limitations, emotional disorders, mental disorders, declining health, cruelty, grifting, etc...all extremely important. how about a question about why a lot of people dislike what's going on....incompetence, grifting, inability to grasp issues, ignorance, etc.
Are there ANY polls with questions about his health, competence, demeanor, etc?
