CNN Data Guru Reveals ‘Americans Are Not Buying What Trump Is Selling’
FEELING THE HEAT

Support for President Donald Trump is plummeting after the president’s disastrous economic policies caused the stock market to crash last week, a new poll shows.

Breaking down the numbers on CNN, data guru Harry Enten revealed that 53 percent of Americans believe the economy is getting worse—up from 42 percent when Trump won re-election—with a majority now blaming him more than former President Joe Biden for current economic chaos.

In what has been called “the worst poll that Donald Trump has received in his second term,” 54 percent of voters say Trump bears the brunt of responsibility for the economic downturn, compared with just 21 percent who still fault Biden.

“Donald Trump may try to blame Joe Biden, and maybe that was working a month ago, but since the tariff war began, it’s not working anymore,” Enten explained. “Americans are not buying what Donald Trump is selling them.”

of Americans disapprove and think trump bears responsibility for our plight today? That is obscene. That is a reflection of conservative values. The number should be about 97%. Those of us wacky liberals with short attention spans and public school education KNOW exactly who is responsible.

they are the ones who bothered to vote, unlike our side where tens of millions decided to stay home instead of voting for a brilliant woman.

The biggest law firms in the Nation have promised, as of today, 1 billion in free legal representation to Donald out of fear. That seems to me like they are buying the hell out of trump.
That number was just stated by the NC Pastor John that is a guest on Stephanie this AM.
He is seeing the MAGA storm victims here being told no more FEMA for you, as they stand, stone faced in Disbelief among the rubble of their homes with the Devastated landscape all around them.
I live in ground zero. The damage is still everywhere.
Maybe they, MAGA’s are getting close to NOT buying his shit any more.
But, I doubt they will blame Trump as long as they have electric power enough to play Fox all day in their tents.
