Some 78% of Americans blame Donald Trump’s policies for rising prices that are outpacing their earnings, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that found majorities of Republicans and Democrats citing the cost of living as their top concern ahead of next month’s midterm elections.
57% of Trump’s Republicans said that costs have been growing faster than their paychecks, a stark example of how his pursuit of import tariffs, war with Iran and other policies have clashed with a central 2024 campaign promise to kill inflation and lower prices “on day one.”
Inflation instead has increased, to the point where the US Federal Reserve has pivoted to rate hikes to quell price increases policymakers have attributed to a variety of factors, including rising global energy costs following the start of the Iran war, and the administration’s imposition of aggressive import taxes.
Once again confirming that at least 22% of Americans are complete and utter morons.
Actually this is kind of refreshing. I think the usual number is like 35%. We’re making progress!
1/3 of the US are Nazis
1/3 of the US want people to live free lives
1/3 of the US can’t tell the difference between these two
Consistently
That’s what I’m saying, 22% is crazy! He’s even losing support of the Nazis!
Honestly, that’s much less than the last time somebody wrote that.
But the real percentage we will learn when election results come in.
There are a significant chunk that properly blame him and the Republicans keeping his in power, but will still vote R down the ballot because that’s what they always do.
