Trump Approval Polls

[Anonymous]

I saw a good quote that I will summarize as such. Most politicians are successful when they do good things for their constituents. Trump's supporters see Trump as successful when he does bad things to people they don't like, regardless of the impact on themselves. As such, the worse Trump is for "the libs" or "immigrants" etc, the more successful he is seen through the eyes of his MAGA supporters.

This is a confounding, yet common thing in human nature. There are plenty of studies that show people will lower their own gain as long as it is larger than someone else’s.

NEW: New York will soon send its 'first-ever Trumpflation refund' checks to taxpayers. The NY Department of Taxation will send refund checks to over 8 million New Yorkers starting at the end of September. The exact amount paid will depend on the taxpayer's filing status and their adjusted gross income for the 2023 tax year. New York Governor Kathy Hochul first announced the program in May. The one-time payments aim to provide financial relief from higher sales taxes due to Trumpflation.

Where is she getting that money from? NY can't print money. Is she shrinking the state to let people make their own better decisions about how to spend money? Or is she mortgaging NY's future?

That's not a Presidential approval poll. In normal times, "wrong direction" means "needs new leadership". But now the President is so much more polarizing than anyone in history, "wrong direction" could also mean "not supporting the president" to some respondents.

The money is from the increase in sales taxes that NYS will receive due to Trump's tariffs. Not only do you pay a tax in the form of a tariff but you also pay a tax on the tax.

And, yet when Dems said they disapproved of their party I was told here it was because they were now turning to MAGA. Can you please keep your story straight.

Well, joke's on them, because MAGA voters will suffer the most - give it a few more months.
