WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans are painting a pessimistic view of the country and President Donald Trump as 2017 comes to a close.
That’s according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The survey shows less than a quarter of Americans think Trump has made good on the pledges he made to voters.
Among Republicans, just half say Trump has kept his promises, which included vows to overhaul his predecessor’s health care law, withdraw the U.S. from a nuclear accord with Iran and invest millions in new projects to fix the nation’s aging infrastructure. None of those steps have been taken.
Just three in 10 Americans said the U.S. is heading in the right direction, and 52 percent said the country is worse off since Trump became president.
This bitch who is suppose to be the POTUS of the Free World is nothing but a destructive dumb stinking ass bitch!
…
From the poll. These numbers are toxic for Republicans if they hold up. If the economy hits any bumps, they’ll drop even lower.
…
By contrast, an AP-NORC poll conducted a year ago found that Americans were more likely to think the country had become better off over the course of Barack Obama’s presidency than worse off, 46 percent to 33 percent.
Only 9 percent think the country has become more united as a result of Trump’s presidency, while 67 percent think the country is more divided because of Trump. That’s far higher than the 44 percent of Americans who said in a poll one year ago that Obama’s presidency had served to divide the country further.
Even Republicans are more likely to say Trump has divided America than united it, 41 percent to 17 percent.
And this is only the first year, before many of the effects of his policies have had time to take place.
When you read numbers like these there are two things to keep in mind. Do these numbers represent observations or partisan sentiments and that 33 % means nothing. What is motivating the answer? Objective observations or partisan prejudices? Rome will always be there and so will the 33%. 33% today means zero.
None of these polls amount to shit.
Why should I be glad that Trumpistas are sad that Trump has not yet done all the terrible things he promised to do?
