The new Q-Poll will come as a surprise if you’ve been watching the Mainstream Media’s take on current events. They seem to believe that Trump is winning the battle for public opinion. Maybe not so much:
As the Senate debates the GOP tax and spending bill titled One Big Beautiful Bill Act and President Donald Trump pushes for a July 4 deadline to sign it, voters 53 – 27 percent oppose the legislation, with 20 percent not offering an opinion, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University national poll of registered voters released today.
Republicans 67 – 10 percent support the bill, with 22 percent not offering an opinion.
Democrats 89 – 2 percent oppose the bill, with 10 percent not offering an opinion.
Independents 57 – 20 percent oppose the bill, with 23 percent not offering an opinion.
Nearly half of voters (47 percent) think federal funding for Medicaid should increase, 40 percent think it should stay about the same, and 10 percent think federal funding for Medicaid should decrease.
That 67 percent of Republicans will probably rise when the alleged Republican resistors in the Senate fold as they almost certainly will. That 10% represents the last dregs of “fiscal conservatives” in the MAGA party and they are all a bunch of cowards in the end.
But Trump is in trouble with the public although I’m not sure that translates into anything material. He doesn’t care about that. He does what he wants.
His overall approval rating stands at 38%. And he’s underwater on every issue:
Voters were asked about Trump’s handling of seven issues…
- immigration issues: 43 percent approve, 54 percent disapprove, with 3 percent not offering an opinion;
- deportations: 40 percent approve, 56 percent disapprove, with 4 percent not offering an opinion;
- the economy: 40 percent approve, 56 percent disapprove, with 4 percent not offering an opinion;
- trade: 38 percent approve, 57 percent disapprove, with 6 percent not offering an opinion;
- universities: 37 percent approve, 54 percent disapprove, with 9 percent not offering an opinion;
- the Israel – Hamas conflict: 35 percent approve, 52 percent disapprove, with 13 percent not offering an opinion;
- the Russia – Ukraine war: 34 percent approve, 57 percent disapprove, with 10 percent not offering an opinion.
I know, I know. Why so high, you ask? Well, I’ll just issue my usual reminder: when FDR won his landslide victory in 1932 at the depth of the great depression, 38% voted for Herbert Hoover. It will never go lower than that.
