Showing Original Post only (View all)CBS News/YouGov poll: many voters are clueless [View all]
I debated whether or not to post this. I decided to do so to provide a glimpse into how well the propaganda on the right works on voters and in part because I think we tend to underestimate Trump and his appeal (for lack of a better word). There's plenty of time to shift the narrative before November, but I think there's little argument that we'll need to do so.
Setting aside the war-of-the-polls, it's just one set of data and a snapshot of the present. That being said, some of the results are pretty perplexing. Some can be explained by partisanship. Some can't.
Choice for president, likely voters
48/52 Biden/Trump (MOE is 3.5%)
How would you rate their presidencies.
Excellent/Good
Trump, looking back: 46%
Biden, so far: 33%
How was the economy under Trump
Good
Trump, looking back: 65%
Current economy: 38%
Has a vision for the country
Biden: 50%
Trump: 63% (In fairness, I suppose that "authoritarian hellhole" is technically a vision)
After 2020 Election, Trump planned to:
44% Stay in office by illegal means
35% Stay in office by legal means
21% Did not plan to stay in office
12% of those who think Trump tried to stay in office by illegal means support him anyway.
Democracy and Rule of Law will be safe
34% Only if Biden wins
33% Only if Trump wins
13% If Either wins
20% Won't be safe either way.
Side note: er, what??
Trump and Roe V Wade: Do you give him:
19% Credit
33% Blame
48% Neither
Mental & Cognitive Health to Serve as President
26% Only Biden
43% Only Trump
6% Both of them
25% Neither of them
Physical health to serve as president
17% Only Biden
45% Only Trump
9% Both of them
29% Neither of them
