So Fox poll says Trump is at 33% on tariffs and inflation; 38% on taxes and the economy. But but but immigration ... well, about that.

Putting the border separate probably makes his immigration number even worse.

davemei.bsky.social•1 day ago

Why did Fox choose to use the Ukrainian colors in this bar graph?

emilbriggs.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's interesting that his overall approval is higher (often markedly so) than his approval on most of the issues.

lalk66.bsky.social•1 day ago

Rationalization is a hell of a drug!

emilbriggs.bsky.social•1 day ago

Another interpretation is that they don't like his policies but like him personally -- which is pretty disturbing.

farmerallison.bsky.social•1 day ago

Infuriating! It’s infuriating

whodiddoneit.bsky.social•1 day ago

Border security was always be a winner for them, because it’s the easiest messaging. “We shut the border down.” Same as last time. The wall is going to make a comeback I’m sure.

But....but America voted for this

Every single time immigration comes up, someone should be there to remind people Trump sabotaged last year’s bi-partisan immigration bill. I don’t understand why we’ve just let that go.

melancholyjaques.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Because nobody really sold it to the voters. The voters don't know the nuances, they just wanted to see Spanish speaking brown people to be hurt.

Losing FoxNoise can't be cheering him up.

It made me smile, tho

senatornyxen.bsky.social•23 hours ago

I think a lot of Trump voters sincerely believed that he would bring prices *down,* like deflation. He was never going to be able to do that.

lutraphobia.bsky.social•1 day ago

So, ppl love what you're doing with the crimes against humanity, but that economy, though.

lutraphobia.bsky.social•1 day ago

We're so fucked. As a society, I mean.

signonleon.bsky.social•1 day ago

Ah, well, with that big beautiful wall stretching from coast to coast, who can deny his accomplishments in border security.

Oh, you’re telling me that we are under invasion from migrant hordes?

And that there is no wall?

mikeomalley.bsky.social•1 day ago

I don't actually understand why he would be down on immigration in a Fox poll. He's doing everything they dreamed of. Maybe they are feeling labor shortages?

jeffadler.bsky.social•1 day ago

If only we had known how incompetent he is

whitewaterlawyer.bsky.social•1 day ago

Interesting that they separated "border security" and "immigration." Why? What exactly are their readers supposed to mean by each?

chuck-p.bsky.social•1 day ago

They separated those topics because they were looking for something about which they could give Trump a win

farmerallison.bsky.social•1 day ago

American conservatives have a hard on for security theater and argue in bad faith about the “right way” to be in the country. It’s just a reflection of their punitive souls

unnamedwill.bsky.social•1 day ago

He was underwater on immigration the whole first term as well.

It was just during the last 4 years that a collective memory was invented that Trump's policies on immigration were popular.

You can smell the desperation in the headline Trump state media used for this delightful poll.

vickiantle.bsky.social•1 day ago

I would say that the 7% that are not as concerned about inflation have shifted their concern to the fear of being shipped off to a gulag in El Salvador.

shellylay.bsky.social•1 day ago

Or they are the ones that believe Trump when he says prices are dropping, no matter what they see at the store with their own lyin’ eyes. I mean, it’s the same % that think chocolate milk comes from brown cows.

jbyrdmarshall.bsky.social•1 day ago

Roughly 7% of the population caring about "inflation" as a purely partisan cudgel absolutely checks out.

Deeply unserious people.

umberto2.bsky.social•20 hours ago

They either never cared about inflation because it was a convenient cudgel against Biden and Dems, or they’ve just given up caring because they know nothing will happen. Or both.

colinwoodard.bsky.social•1 day ago

Especially the subhed

maverickmatt94.bsky.social•1 day ago

A whole 7%. Fox certainly stopped the presses for this one.

pandaphil.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Boy, they are really reaching, aren't they?

cvillecitizen.bsky.social•1 day ago

To be fair, if you crash the economy, that would reduce inflation expectations

danappalachia.bsky.social•23 hours ago

TBF, the 7% are way more concerned with having the measles.

angrymetalguy.bsky.social•1 day ago

Where's my laugh react?

apo86.bsky.social•1 day ago

Because the president may have worsen inflation prospects but had given to the people another completely auto inflicted things to worry about. Melease, recession, potencial debt crisis, stock markets crash, becoming an international pariah…

phoenixdoglover.bsky.social•1 day ago

Today's concept is "cherry-picking".

techiewonk.bsky.social•22 hours ago

The margin of error in this poll is +/- 3%, so it’s very possible that the shift in sentiment is only 1%.

They're putting lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig!

sybilltrelawney.bsky.social•1 day ago

So what are the more relevant results?

sleeplessinamerica.bsky.social•19 hours ago

The fact that this was their take pretty much indicates the more relevant results weren't good for Trump.

sybilltrelawney.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I assume that, I just wanted to know how bad.

The felon “fake news”

olibradley.bsky.social•1 day ago

Border security though? It's kinda related?

tobellz.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump ordered the military to the US-Mexico border.

They have nothing to do there, but they're there.

grungehamster.bsky.social•1 day ago

I was going to ask: curious if that is usually split out from their results, because that would likely impact what views of immigration are.

lhfeenstra.bsky.social•1 day ago

When even Fox News can't "spin a win" things are getting bad

nephelokokkygia.bsky.social•1 day ago

What about "abolishing democracy", "fighting against basic human rights", "promoting fascism" and "personality cult"?
My guess: about 40-50% of Americans approve all of this.

jshumbacher.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Less than 1/3 voted for Trump for ANY reason.
