Poll Shows Plummeting Trust In Trump

A new Garin-Hart-Yang/Global Strategy Group poll finds the worst ratings for Trump on his truthfulness, temperament, dealings with Russia, and immigration policies we have not seen in any of our eleven previous national tracking surveys on the Trump presidency.
Key finding Trumps dealings with Vladimir Putin, his handling of immigration and the separation of children from their families, and the impact of his trade war have stuck with voters in a way nothing else has since the beginning of his presidency.

A good journalist needs to do some investigating on that. I know countries where they actually went to other states with empty buses, filled them up with ignorant people, gave them red shirts, gave them food and liquor, took them to the rallies, then drove them back, and the appearance was one of popularity, that is how they filled the stadiums.
When you watch these people on TV, some of them have this look of "being somewhere else", when they hear the claps they join, after the clapping is done they look away again, like they are not really there, they are not listening to the idiot talk.

(6,881 posts)From my days as a European historian (Nazi Germany), I learned that, in the art of political warfare, the number one rule is know your enemy, without underestimating them. And for most (no, ALL) of these cretins, "deplorable" is a compliment. And the audience seems to be getting even further out there. I've noted white guys carrying "Blacks for Trump" signs and men carrying "Women for Trump". And Trump has increasingly fallen into this litany of red-meat catchphrases and rambling incoherency that only a psycho-historian can decipher. He's remarkably open in a way when you learn to read between the lines (or is it, lies).He always lies about "If you think this is a huge crowd, you should see how many are outside." This is not true. They whip themselves into a kind of revivalist frenzy, like at Nuremberg. They've gotten so extreme I think they might start to backfire. They should be called "deplorables" without apologies. Just have to have faith that decent, sensible people still exist. Who don't want to be associated with this crowd.

I'm sorry to say that all these polls and ideas that we're really winning rings false in my ears. I want to believe it, I really do, but I have a sinking feeling (just like that feeling at 7:00pm on election day 2016). I live on Long Island (NY) and just about everyone I know, loves Trump. No one really knows any details about what he's doing, or what he's done. They simply don't care. They're carried away on emotion, especially the "us versus them" crap.
So, when I hear stories how they have to bus in supporters, I shake my head and think "wishful thinking". The supporters are there. They love him, and he can do no wrong in their eyes. It's facinating and frightening.
Snellius
(6,881 posts)It's become like two different species. I have studied right-wing politics for a long time, primarily European, and the American right is unique and much harder to understand because it is not really ideological as it was with fascism. The only defining character is not what they stand for. They don't know. But they know who they hate. But who they hate is almost as hard to pin down. They are not necessarily racist or zealots or even nationalistic. What they hate is "us" or "them" who they demonize as "elites" or "baby killers" or the "others". They will always find someone to hate. Some hated "Jews". Each comes with his own private grudge. It's more psychological than logical. The self-loathing that they are looked down upon and ridiculed. It's a new type of "fascism" that Trump via Bannon really understands, intuitively. The most terrifying is that Americans, that any "civilized", rational human being can think and act like this. I used to tell my students in German history it's a mistake to think what happened there was because Hitler was evil and that it can't happen here. After all, the Nazis thought of themselves as "decent, civilized" heroes who were doing what they thought was a good thing. If they win, expect to see counter hysteria on the left.

(2,166 posts)And the old style republicans are now displaced, and lost.
As we all see, this is not the GOP of 10 years ago. The tea-party came in and basically infultrated it, and created a wedge. Then Trump came in and all hell broke loose.
Of course, many old style republicans are hanging back (holding on for dear life) telling themselves that they'll get their deregulations and tax cuts and all will be well. No danger in going of a cliff... but there is danger. Trump and his cult are dangerously changing the USA, and many changes are not easily reversed (such as the farmers losing their international markets). The question is, how far is this thing going to go?
Snellius
(6,881 posts)Almost a disavowal of everything Republicans used to stand for.
The really odd thing is that I don't think they really even like Trump. He's an asshole. Everyone knows an asshole. Even his die-hard zombies know he's an asshole. Which seems to be why they like him. He's not charismatic in any way other than that he has this pretense of being double-down strong. But even then it's obvious he's a loser at heart. The "laughingstock" he always talks about is him. Historians will be working on this for a long time. Like with Nixon. But in this case it's kind of a revolt of the dispossessed. That's possessed. We just can't panic.

They want to hurt US more than they want to help Trump.

NSDAP no exception. What set it apart was their organization and ideology. By 1933 Hitler had abandoned his military attire for a plain, respectable suit. The violence as a terror weapon was working against his popular vote and his alliance with the army and industrialists. Once they took power Rohm and his Brown Shirt SA thugs were ruthlessly purged. Others, more disciplined, took their place, the violence and terror institutionalized in the Gestapo and SS, who used it to wipe out any opposition. Sorry for the lecture. I used to teach it and get carried away.

This is exactly what happened in Venezuela, and although Hugo Chavez was intelligent, Maduro is not, all he does is take orders from Cuba, which is what Chavez did too, until he got wise and that is when Castro got rid of him. The playbook that was used in Venezuela is being used in the USA, the difference is that Venezuela was played by Cuba, and the USA is being played by Russia, the odds are against the USA when you have complicit people in power.
The media keeps asking, why did trump eliminate the position of cybersecurity officer?, why is it that republicans are not doing anything to safeguard the 2018 election? Please....it cannot be more clear, because they know Russian intervention helps them win, they can't do it otherwise and all they care is about power, even if they have to commit treason.

Putins also gotten a number of members in Congress compromsied and working for him also now. That's why they chose to go after Hillary , the Democrats didn't have near as much dirt to use against them when they needed Congress, but the republicans had many more that they could have compromised from corruption , and illegal acts they know about now. Its backfiring on putin and trump now, and they know almost everything on them now.

RE: New Poll & Messaging Guidance: Russia, Immigration and Trade War Sticking to Trump
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
Donald Trumps dealings with Vladimir Putin, his handling of immigration and the separation of children from their families, and the impact of his trade war have stuck with voters in a way nothing else has since the beginning of his presidency and greatly imperil Republican chances in November. In response to an open-ended question, voters volunteer in large numbers concerns about these issues, showing the remarkable saliency the recent negative actions by the Trump administration have had. This translates into the worst ratings for Trump on his truthfulness, temperament, dealings with Russia, and immigration policies we have not seen in any of our eleven previous national tracking surveys on the Trump presidency.
Aspects of the economy are significant vulnerabilities for Trump. Only 35% say that Trumps economic policies are good for people like them, and only 33% report a favorable opinion of the Trump-Republican tax bill. By 47% to 22%, voters say things are getting worse rather than better in terms of wages keeping up with the cost of living a significantly more negative result than our February measurement. By a 20-point margin, voters say increases in the cost of living have outstripped any tax cut they may have received. Trump continues to be identified in voters minds as looking out for the interests of wealthy people and big corporations rather than the interests of regular people. Despite Trumps bragging, our poll finds that President Trumps economic record falls far short as a counterweight to all of the other negative impressions that surround him.
The survey results identify many opportunities for Democrats and progressives to reinforce voters growing concerns about Trump, including among a key group of Trump voters whose current support for him is weak. Especially important in this regard is the record of Donald Trump and the Republicans in giving large tax cuts to drug companies and health insurance companies while allowing them to raise drug prices and insurance premiums without any limits. Unlike Russia and immigration, voters wont hear about this as much in the press, meaning Democrats must continue to carry the message in paid media and on the campaign trail.
The Fight for Congress
Voters unhappiness with Donald Trump has given Democrats their largest lead in the generic congressional trial heat in any of our three national surveys this year. Nationally, 49% of voters say they intend to vote for their Democratic candidate in their district, while 41% say they intend to vote for the Republican candidate. Democrats have large advantages among women, particularly college-educated women, younger voters, African American voters, and Hispanic voters.
In addition to having a lead with voters overall, Democrats have regained a significant advantage in voter enthusiasm: 75% of those who intend to vote for a Democrat say they are highly enthusiastic and motivated about voting, compared to 64% of those who intend to vote for a Republican. Non-college educated white voters, who often are thought of as Trumps base, report substantially lower levels of motivation than other parts of the electorate. Among all highly-motivated voters (68% of the total electorate), Democrats are ahead in the generic congressional trial heat by 54% to 38%.
Our survey results clearly indicate that the Trump factor is helping Democrats and hurting Republicans. By 51% to 37%, voters say they would rather see more Democrats elected to Congress to be a check and balance on Trump than more Republicans elected to Congress to help Trump pass his policies and programs. Notably, voters who backed Trump in 2016 are far less eager to elect Republicans to help Trump (75%) than Clinton voters are to elect Democrats to be a check on Trump (94%). This reflects the fact that Clinton voters are far more likely to strongly disapprove of Trumps performance (83%) than Trump voters are to voice strong approval (63%). Among the 37% of Trump voters who do not strongly approve of him, just 52% want to elect Republicans to help him pass his policies. Large shares of these weak Trump voters express an unfavorable reaction to Trumps temperament and leadership style (53%), his dealings with Russia and Vladimir Putin (48%), and his truthfulness in the things that he says (47%). By 35% to 27% they express more doubts than confidence about whether Trump has the integrity and honesty a president should have (34% say they feel somewhere in between).
The Weakness of Trumps Economic Position
For as much as President Trump brags on his economic record, the new Priorities USA poll shows that voters are largely unimpressed and most of them are not feeling any personal benefit from Trumps policies despite viewing them as a boon for the wealthy.
When asked about their reaction to what they have been hearing lately about Trumps economic policies, voters are equally divided: 41% report a favorable reaction, and 41% report an unfavorable reaction. Trumps trade war clearly is a liability for him: by 56% to 31% voters report having an unfavorable reaction to what they have heard lately about Trumps trade policies and his decisions to engage in a trade war with China and Europe.
But the weakness of Trumps economic position goes far beyond trade policy. Even as national job statistics improve, only 37% say that things are getting better in their own communities with regard to the availability of good jobs. A significantly larger share of the electorate, 47%, say that things are getting worse with regard to wages and incomes keeping up with the cost of living (only 22% say things are changing for the better). Among non-college educated white voters, more say that things are changing for the worse than for the better with regard to wages. Nearly two thirds of voters (64%) say that the cost of health care is getting worse, including 57% of weak Trump voters.
When we ask voters about their opinion of the new tax law passed by the Republicans and signed by President Trump, only 33% are favorable, 21% are neutral, and 38% are unfavorable. One reason why the tax law is doing so little to help Trump and the Republicans who passed it is that most voters feel the law is doing little to help them. Just 24% say the tax cut they received is larger than any increase in the cost of living they are experiencing, while 44% say their increased cost of living exceeds any tax cut they may have received.
One of the key questions Democrats and progressive should use to frame this election is whose side are you on. Of particular note in this regard is that by 61% to 5% voters say things are getting better for people who already are wealthy, while by 38% to 32% these same voters say things are getting worse for the middle class and average working families. It is little wonder, then, that voters say by 56% to 25% that Trump mainly looks out for the interests of wealthy people and big corporations rather than the interests of regular people. Even among Trump voters, just 54% have a clear sense that Trump is focused on the interests of regular people.
Advancing the Case Against Trump and the GOP
One of the clear and important takeaways from this survey is that Democrats and progressive should be playing offense against Trump and Republicans on economic issues, including on the cost of health care.
The best testing message in our survey that advances the economic/health care argument against Trump and the GOP is this:
Donald Trump and the Republicans in Congress have given large tax cuts to drug companies and health insurance companies, while allowing them to raise drug prices and insurance premiums without any limits.
Fully 70% of voters have an unfavorable reaction to these policies, including 57% who are very unfavorable. Nearly half of all Trump voters, including 62% of weak Trump voters, have an unfavorable reaction to Trump and the GOP Congress on this matter showing its potential to cut into the Trump base. Non-college educated white women react strongly against Trump and the GOP on this matter.
There is nearly as strong reaction by voters against efforts by Trump and the Republicans to cut Medicare and Medicaid: 65% overall react unfavorably when they learn that the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress have submitted budget proposals that include large cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. A 52% majority are very unfavorable. This issue also is important in winning over white non-college women in the upcoming elections.
The battle over Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh also provides an opportunity for Democrats and progressive to make an important point about health care: 59% are unfavorable (including 49% who are very unfavorable) when they learn that Trump nominated a new U.S. Supreme Court Justice who is likely to overturn and eliminate the protections for people with pre-existing medical conditions in the Affordable Care Act.
It is worth noting that a second argument related to Kavanaugh also is potent: 58% are unfavorable (including 48% who are very unfavorable) when they learn that Trump nominated a new U.S. Supreme Court Justice who has argued that a president cannot be indicted for criminal offenses and cannot be required by a special counsel to turn over evidence.
Trumps inhumane zero tolerance actions on immigration proves uniquely motivating for Democratic voters. Of all the issues we tested, the one that evokes the strongest reaction from voters who already intend to support Democrats this November is: the Trump administration instituted a new immigration policy that separated children from their parents at the border and held young children in government detention facilities (87% very unfavorable). Voters across the board reject Trumps cruel family separation policies. This is a reversal from recent elections that saw immigration as a more motivating issue for Republicans than Democrats.
About This Poll
Garin-Hart-Yang and Global Strategy Group conducted this poll by telephone July 26 July 31, with a representative national cross section of 1,000 presidential year voters and recent registrants. The margin of error is +/- 3.1 percentage points, and care has been taken to ensure that the geographic and demographic divisions of the electorate are properly represented based on past voter turnout statistics.
