CNBC Poll

[Turbineguy]

Saw their poll today. The graphic is interesting:

?v=1666261549&w=1910&ffmt=webp

Look at the "Reducing Federal Deficit". This shows how successful they are at lying.

1. Turn out turn out turn out

It’s all about turn out.

[irisblue]

2. Turn out our vote, don't get scared people.

[Aviation Pro]

3. What the Ever Loving Fuck?

Who do they poll? Fucks Noise watchers?

[Turbineguy]

6. The graphic misleads.

36% of a smaller group thinks the opposite to 25% of a larger group.

8. RIGHT !!

[SergeStorms]

11. It's CNBC.

Who do you think they polled?

Republicans will always cut taxes for the investor class.

[Celerity]

17. Must be some mental giants like this wankpuffin mixed in:

“I’m shifting more towards Republican because I feel like they’re more geared towards business,” said Robin Ackerman, a 37-year-old Democrat and mortgage loan officer.Credit...Hannah Beier for The New York Times

[GoodRaisin]

24. "I feel like they're more geared toward business".

What does a comment like that even mean? It’s sad we will lose a vote over such stupidity.

[orleans]

26. "wankpuffin"

never heard that word before.

i must say i'm rather amoosed by it

i'd love to start using it, but, unfortunately, i don't think i'll remember to do that...

unless i start using it RIGHT NOW!



wankpuffin wankpuffin wankpuffin

wiktionary:

wankpuffin (plural wankpuffins). (Britain, slang, vulgar, derogatory) A contemptible person.

urban dictionary:

n. wankpuffin is the unrealistic claims declared by Trump, a form of public mental masturbation. It takes a wankpuffin to make that kind of statement.

esquire:
there is a crisis in british swearing

Aug 30, 2018 — 'Cockwomble' is the breakout star, but jump into any Brexit-adjacent Twitter thread and you'll see them. 'Wankpuffin'. 'Nobsocket'.

anyway -- thanks for this word

[Celerity]

27. yw!

[Hugin]

29. Let's say astroturf lady is even real...

Her GQP made-to-order demographics are directly off of some operative’s dream spreadsheet to say the least. If the claims are even half true she would represent around zero percent of the general population.

She doesn’t seem to realize she’s one vote away from being implanted (providing there’s not ‘one drop’ in her background) and shackled to a stove or one office affair from being on the street with no safety net.

Right where the right wants her.

4. This was alerted on; I voted in favor of keeping it

I'd be interested in hearing someone explain how a poll that shows issues voters favor Republicans on AND issues voters favor Democrats on can be considered "right wing".

[Turbineguy]

9. Yes. Alerting can help people from finding out the truth.

[Polybius]

22. I'm so glad you were on the jury

Crazy, right?

[lindysalsagal]

5. Those numbers represent what they blather on about, not what they actually do.

[Walleye]

7. Apparently, lying is the only thing they need to be successful at

If only we had journalists and a free press

[Turbineguy]

10. We know the deficit goes up

as a result of republican policies. Although there is latency due to the repairs made when Democrats are in charge.

[Pantagruel]

12. Polling CNBC viewers

will skew for the GOP, almost by definition.

[C_U_L8R]

13. Completely out of touch with reality

Republicans have tanked our economy over and over again while ballooning the deficit with giveaways to their rich donors.

[randr]

14. Again Repugs are focused on non issues

If they knew the facts they would have nothing to vote against. If they cared about their neighbors they would change their minds.

[sarcasmo]

15. Abortion not even on this poll.

[Johonny]

16. It is literally impossible to do a better job than Joe Biden has done creating jobs.

[Polybius]

23. No, it's possible

But we would need a 60-seat Senate majority to get what we really want done.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

28. Yeah, but unfortunately I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon

More's the pity

[spanone]

18. Looks like another bullshit poll

[andym]

19. These are long held common-sense opinions that are not supported by the evidence

Reagan is why the GOP is thought better on the economy and controlling inflation. The Reagan "economic miracle" in controlling inflation while growing the economy, which was really due to Paul Volcker's work at the Fed, helped further the myth that the GOP is better for the economy and for taming inflation. However, few know of Volcker's role-- fewer still know that he was initially appointed by Carter.
No matter that Bill Clinton and Barack Obama overcame recessions-- they just don't get the credit Reagan gets it seems. OTOH, they didn't have to deal with high inflation that existed in the 70s-early 80's.

[central scrutinizer]

20. "Dealing with taxes"?

Wtf does that even mean?

[GoodRaisin]

25. It's based on the long running fable that Democrats raise taxes and Republicans lower them.

[Carlitos Brigante]

21. Similar to the UK. The US electorate has loads and loads of fickle, moronic, masochistic, low

information narcissists. Who swear up and down that they are well informed. I picture those dipshits that Leno and Kimmel would find on the street so confidently talking about the most basic issues. With not a single fucking idea of what they're talking about.

Is this a nice thing to say? Prob. not. Would I try to persuade people to vote by calling them this. Definitely not. But does that make it untrue. Fuck no! After all, we live in the United States of Amnesia.
