72% OF VOTERS SUPPORT THE EXISTENCE OF A U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCY FOCUSED ON EFFICIENCY INITIATIVES

 

In his first month in office, President Donald Trump’s approval rating is at 52%, with voters most satisfied with his job on immigration, reducing the cost of the government, and returning America to its values.

 

“People are taking a generally positive wait-and-see attitude for Trump but have really reassessed their attitudes toward Biden, Harris, and the Democrats, taking a much harsher, more negative attitude,” said Mark Penn, Co-Director of the Harvard CAPS / Harris poll.

 

72% of voters say they want Ukraine to negotiate a settlement with Russia instead of winning the war. 

 

• 67% of voters say the current level of U.S. federal government debt is unsustainable.
• 83% of voters favor reducing government expenditures over increasing taxes, and 77% say a full examination of all government expenditures is necessary.
• 70% of voters say government expenditures are filled with waste, fraud, and inefficiency (Democrats: 58%; Republicans: 78%; Independents: 75%), and 69% support the goal of cutting $1 trillion of government expenditures.
• 60% of voters think DOGE is helping make major cuts in government expenditures.

 

 

 

Tough message from American citizens regarding current US President's policies.

 

Hate the President all you want - they LOVE his policies.

 

Oh, well.

According to your beloved Fox News, that poll is overwhelmingly off of every other major polling firm.  Like miles. And there's nothing in it about Ukraine.

at the end of the day why come on a message board if you don’t have any doubts or openness. If you know how everything works why waste your time on the board…

 

Yeah, say what you like - quite a few have changed my mind on issues - @changegonnacome @Ulti@Sweet@Dinar@Xerxes  for example.

 

I try to be very critical about what I write, as well as what I read.

 

I'll put you down as dubious.

Posting this - primarily for our American friends here on CofB&F - just to show how European sentiment is in motion by now, - from Kyiv, yesterday :

 

 

 

 

That's a wonderful clip. All I learned is that European leadership has finally woken up, which was necessary 2 years ago when the war started to look like a stalemate. Much of this carnage may have been avoided - at a huge cost to Ukraine. But facing reality 2 years latter has been extremely costly.

 

Nice clip

We [the US and Europe] need to get along, Mike [ @cubsfan ],

 

It's actually that simple. Everything else will provide nothing but chaos and armageddon. Europe reaction late, sure, but not too late, by  now.

I have never disputed that. Such is the nature of negotiation and compromise. 

No one is happy.

I can't believe that President Krasnov has just voted with Russia to drive through the Ukraine war measure. Disgusting.

The mere existence here on CofB&F of the topic US franchises at risk to me, personally, & in the end, and eventually : Prevails the developments of the future to the better.

Nothing about Zelenskyy being a dictator.  That there is corruption in Ukraine...yes...but nothing about being a dictator.  That's a new Trump talking point being repeated by the faithful!  Cheers!

Take him at his word at your own risk

Someone should tell Trump that Charles III is also head of state of Canada.
