Poll Position
Any Republican in Congress wetting their pants ought to take a deep breath.
There’s a full-court press on right now to frighten Republicans into thinking that the public is horrified by the actions President Trump is taking. Several polls have been released lately that suggest the American people are turning against Donald Trump. Of course, many of these polls are the same ones that showed Kamala Harris winning on Election Day.
Any Republican in Congress wetting their pants ought to take a deep breath. A new Harvard-Harris poll, hardly favorable to the GOP, finds encouraging results. For example:
- 58% of voters say Donald Trump is doing a better job as president than Joe Biden.
- 81% of Americans support Trump’s policy of deporting criminal illegal aliens.
- 76% support closing the border.
- 76% support efforts to eliminate fraud and waste in the federal government.
- 69% support cutting $1 trillion of government spending.
- 69% support banning men from women’s sports.
- 57% say tariffs are an effective economic and foreign policy tool.
- 72% want a negotiated settlement to the war in Ukraine.
- 61% of voters believe we should give Ukraine security guarantees only if it agrees to give the United States access to its rare earth minerals.
- Only 36% of voters approve of the Democrat Party, while 49% approve of the GOP.
