CNN Poll: “Just 32% of Americans now say that Trump has had the right priorities, while 68% say he hasn’t paid enough attention to the country’s most important problems. That’s the president’s 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 Trump’s policies will move the country in the wrong direction rather than the right one. And Trump’s job approval rating among all adults remains mired at 36%.”

30% Trump has the right priorities is a breakthrough, of sorts, in hard core MAGA rejecting Trump.

The cult is 25% of the public; the other 5% are libertarian cranks that only care about low tax rates.

After Jan 6th, he hit like 27%? But it is an unmovable 1/3 of the population.

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

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.

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?
