Unfortunately very little evidence suggesting US voters make voting decisions r/t foreign policy

gemmaroslin.bsky.social•5 days ago

That was sick. A war time president scolded by a wimp is disgusting. And that so called VP who never served in combat questioning him disrespectful. Well maybe uncle con and Vance need to go to war and let's see what they say.. oh wait they will run away unlike president Zelinski!

kattfot.bsky.social•5 days ago

That orange buffoon needs a detailed script to be able to function. When it runs out he either deteriorates into talking through his hat, temper tantrums or both at same time.

JD Vance seems more calculated evil, though.

I think it bears repeating that Trump and his goons simply do not care about polls, about elections, or even having a robust economy. They are hell bent on stripping the government for parts as fast as they can, and pocketing the proceeds before the whole thing crumbles.

jeff-notheotherone.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yep, as has been said since 2017:
They will steal everything that isn’t nailed down, take a crowbar to the rest, set fire to whatever remains then charge us to look at it & make us pay to rebuild, too

Embarrassing to the United States in and understatement. Tariffs have been a disaster. All he had to do was steer the country straight from what he was handled and he had to do a 180.

Looking for a good polling aggregator now that 538 has been sacrificed at the alter of Trump.

Anybody know of one?

excharger.bsky.social•6 days ago

Would love to read these polls if they weren't generated by the Amazon propaganda daily.

forevernever.bsky.social•6 days ago

Looks like a good chunk of Americans had a "wait and see" approach and are now like "holy shit what the fuck"

we-are-toast.bsky.social•6 days ago

Unfortunately no. Despite them disagreeing with him on most issues, they still approve of how he's doing the job by 2%. This shows how swing voters vote from the gut, and not by issues, and it also shows some voters can't admit the horrible mistake they made.

mulledwine.bsky.social•6 days ago

Would be curious to see which poll has him up 2%. Recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, for example, had him at 44% approve and 51% disapprove.

Much appreciated. Thanks for the direct link.

bdknapp86.bsky.social•6 days ago

Not even close. Only 49.5% of voters cast a ballot for him. And from the sounds of it, that same percentage thinks he's either doing a great job or have no opinion on the matter. He could kill someone's family right in front of them and if they're a Trump supporter, they'll say he was justified.

harryfabian.bsky.social•6 days ago

Too bad Americans don't consider foreign policy when making voting decisions.

gdubba.bsky.social•6 days ago

Give it time. The right-wing propaganda will get to work on this and these numbers will soften in a few weeks. They win with relentless, disciplined repetition.

When are American politicians, journalists and pundits going to start clearly articulating what's been patently obvious throughout Trump's presidencies - that he's deeply compromised (due to debt or other kompromat?) & under Putin's control and that EVERYTHING he does is for the benefit of Russia.

mac807.bsky.social•6 days ago

Zelensky will not submit to Putin or tRump. That’s why they belittled him in Oval Office. No deals. Putin invades a neighboring country & has a warrant for his arrest, sat by, watched, enjoyed. Continues bombing Ukraine. We are told 45 wants peace, only 1 in universe who can get it.
I don’t believe.

SOS I'm in a horror movie !! The USA has just handed itself over to Russia !!! German Press: Trump the blackmailer of the free world. Moscow welcomes Marco Rubio's phrase “proxy war” For Donald Trump, however, it is not allies and values that count, but power and money.

demlove70.bsky.social•6 days ago

pingl.bsky.social•6 days ago

Trump is sure that he can do anything against America and even sell the country to Russia and his bunch of MAGA cult members are so stupid that they will still support him.
The worst part is that he seems to be right about that.

jaydeedouble.bsky.social•6 days ago

It really is an indictment of a good chunk of Americans…

He said this was all what he wanted to do.

So either that flipped amount either weren’t paying attention during the campaigns or had no idea how foreign policy works… or both.

berg8311.bsky.social•6 days ago

“Americans don’t love” is a very Trump-friendly headline when apparently it should be more like “Americans hate” it

Admittedly an n=1, but talking to a self-confessed MAGA from rural LA, she had bought into a lot of Trump's conspiracy theories, but completely disagrees with him on Ukraine.

Terrible news for his re-election campaign. The problem is he's clearly never leaving.

kat5501.bsky.social•6 days ago

Just curious - in his first term, Putin's Puppet cared about the numbers. Does he this time around? I think the only numbers he cares about have $ in front of them. He's in office, he doesn't care about poll numbers or disapproval ratings. Same with his traitors in Congress that he protects.

nickreeves.bsky.social•6 days ago

Trump, Vance, and Musk don't care about popularity. They have no intention of democratically relinquishing power.

You have to be irrelevant.

Sorry

kmthrfcknt.bsky.social•5 days ago

Pleased to see they don't generally approve but all Americans need to stop seeing concessions of land to Russia as an option here. They cannot be allowed to retain so much as an inch of land they have taken - the message has to be that you can't take the land of other countries by force.

murshedz.bsky.social•6 days ago

Worth noting here that Trump's foreign policy numbers are disaster despite nonstop relentless spin from right wing media to bully Zelesnky after that ambush and enabling of proliferation of that spin by access based elite media outlets.

Wish DC Dems understood this dynamic.

twittermuerto.bsky.social•5 days ago

Wait another year and the spin will have worked.

lovewinzalways.bsky.social•6 days ago

DC Dem leaders are legit terrifying me right now.

All the evidence shows Harris lost in 2024 by moving right *at those same leaders' demands*—intending to attract disaffected Rs, but succeeding only in losing Ds who stayed home and sank her.

Leaders take this as "we didn't move far right ENOUGH."

lovewinzalways.bsky.social•6 days ago

The consultant class is caught in a loop of insanely dangerous fantasy, where their basic idea—"we have to move right"—apparently can't fail, it can only BE failed.

Evidence doesn't matter. What, are we Republicans now?

lexou.bsky.social•6 days ago

They'd rather lose elections by being a right wing party than any outcome of being a left wing one, so yes, sort of, as they work for the same corporate interests as a priority and only care about constituents for vote sources.

winstonsmith2024.bsky.social•6 days ago

Trump's intention isn't to collapse American support for Zelenskyy and Ukraine; it's meant to collapse Republican support, which will be enough to sink any more aid for Ukraine, for at least the next two years.

winstonsmith2024.bsky.social•4 days ago

Surprise, surprise. According to https://YouGov.com Republican support for Zelenskyy has dropped significantly in the last week or so. I wonder what (or who) might have contributed to that?

murshedz.bsky.social•6 days ago

While Trump's foreign policy polling numbers continue to tank - he continues to reorient his regime in subservience to Putin - this time moving to "revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia."

Unimaginably cruel - but that's their point.

demandside.bsky.social•6 days ago

Trump was never going to roll Americans on Ukraine. Right wing media has no credibility except with the cult. Trump may hold all the cards, but Zelensky is not playing cards. Ukraine is officially the new leader of the free world.

raginpagan.bsky.social•6 days ago

Worse.

dgal201.bsky.social•6 days ago

Trump is jealous because he is a fat, round,and older than dirt. President Zelensky is is slim and fit and young.

voegel.bsky.social•6 days ago

Only 50% disapproval on foreign policy speaks volumes on how little a large share of them care about the rest of the world. For them, Africa and Asia are just countries and if not, they are MAGA brain-fried. It has always been risky to have them as the dominating country in the political west…

I'll never understand why they ambushed Zelensky. It made no sense. They always had the power to just abandon Ukraine, but they chose the option that maximized the number of people who would notice and disapprove.

elliottsmithblesky.bsky.social•6 days ago

Wait. We’re still in the business of believing that MAGA feels it needs popular support to rob the country…?
