Why are you posting such garbage here? You also conveniently ignored where she said Harris would have made a terrible president and was incapable of stringing 2 sentences together. Her entire article is total bullshit.

I suppose. You’re right about the author, and it’s disturbing that USAToday prints it.

I for one don't have to see garbage like this to know how ridiculously stupid and pathetic Trump supporters are,

Trump has been so much of a mess from reading polling articles (which are indeed accurate in stating that his favorability rating has plummeted) that his handlers had to try to stanch the stench he is creating.

One where millions of Trump voters are so regretful of their decision to vote for him that the midterms will be a blowout where the Democrats will take control of Congress.
And that so many who voted for Trump believed they had been misled and lied to by Biden concerning the true nature of his health and ability to finish his term. In hindsight there is some merit in the argument that Biden should have chosen not to run before the primaries in '24, leaving it open for a new candidate to have been chosen rather than all of the ensuing drama of that summer.

That we hate all the Trump is and all that he does is what we believe with all of our hearts, but what will we say if Democrats do not make a strong showing in the midterms? Who will we blame?

At the risk of offending my fellow Democrats, the negative consequences haven’t yet hit the thoughtless and ill-informed Trump voters hard enough. Most of them are either still comfortable in their glass bubble (Like Ms. Jacques) or haven’t hurt hard enough or long enough to feel real pain.

If the USA was a parliamentary democracy with snap elections and a vote a few weeks away, I’d say that the Good Guys were screwed. However, while there are some elections this fall, most of the mid-terms aren’t until next year.

JRRT’s character Gandalf the Wizard said that the burned hand teaches best. We can’t reach most MAGA voters right now. However I suspect that a few seasons of suffering will wise a lot of them up. Unlike successful wanna-be autocrats past and present, Orange Julius isn’t taking care of his followers (At least the ones not mega-rich). There WILL be some prolonged hurting and some painful education.

I'm beginning to wonder if the 2 sides, pro-Trump, anti-Trump can ever be reconciled in this nation. Perhaps we need a national divorce. Perhaps the anti-Trump states could join Canada. We do seem to have irreconcilable differences though. But I don't see this ending well.

shutting down DEI and universities... they are happy.

ACA subsidies, Medicare, and Social Security. While there are some wealthy and financially-secure MAGA magoos, a lot of the Golden Calf's followers are shirt-sleeve folks whose income is either subsidized by the federal government or in funds that the Golden Calf's allies are looking forward to breaking into and squandering. When the money runs out and they find themselves in grinding poverty or homelessness, they'll be more amenable to a re-think.

Not so many people can afford to be MAGAs without government subsidies.

What were those totals in previous elections, especially elections without Trump given he has a unique hold on his base.

I do not see Ingrid Jacques as being particularly trustworthy. She's a right-wing columnist for USA Today and it is my strong belief that such people generally don't put the time and effort to research whether their beliefs have much congruency with the real world or how the real world really works.

She’s a regular columnist for USA Today. I suspect that they were the ones who wrote her pay check.

BTW, I have the receipts on Richard Wolff for all his supporters
and will bringing them soon to an OP of my own.

An article published by the University of Massachusetts at Amherst reports the results of a poll taken by YouGov (I do not know what that entity is) in early April. I do not see where that UoM article mentions polling findings regarding what Harris voters would have done differently if they had the chance to do it all over. The article does mention that the polling results indicate that two percent of Trump voters regretted voting for him.

The writer of the USA opinion piece (quoted in the OP) mentions the aforesaid University of Massachusetts at Amherst article. However, as I stated, I do not see in the UoM article any discussion regarding regret by voters who cast their ballots for Harris.

ON EDIT: The UMass poll was in cooperation with YouGov which is the entity which communicated directly with the poll participants. A total of 1,081 voters responded to the polling questions. The methodology of the posters winnowed down the number of participants used in the tabulation process to 1,000. As far as I can understand, some buffering of the raw data was implemented in order to confirm the results to a broader, albeit theoretical, demographic matrix.

Turns out she LIED. (I know - surprise, surprise!). 11% of Trump voters disapprove of the job he's done so far. 2% answered not sure.

As for the regret question, 74% of Trump voters were very confident they made the right choice BUT 78% of Harris voters were very confident they made the right choice. She also ignores the 1% of Trump voters who have regrets and might vote differently today, and 4% who have mixed feelings. An 12% of non voters regret their not voting and would vote for Harris today. While it's not a surprise that most Trump voters don't regret their vote, they're nowhere near as positive about things as she tries to claim.

all that said, this was maybe the most positive poll for Trump over the past 3 weeks (and it had a very small sample). If this is the best they can do to try to prop up Trump, it shows just how pathetic the overall views of Trump are at this point.

Not a skill the powers-that-wannabe are going to encourage in post-truth Trumpy America

It's helpful to see exactly how she lied outright and by omission. I trust your judgment that "she lied" but I appreciate the explanation. Yeah USA Today is crap journalism. But we cannot ignore crap journalism.

It's all they do, really. Billions of dollars are poured into creating a positive public opinion of Trump.

The effort is strong, but people are noticing that prices are up, not down. They notice that they lost their job. They notice that their local SS office closed. They notice that their VA doctor was laid off. One by one, people will take notice as Trump's fiascos affect them.

She’s as trustworthy as Trump when it comes to facts.

The article is from a conservative and is laced with opinion tha does not align well with facts. I don’t care to take it on one by one, I would rather read quality journalism. Secondly we already know that Trump was elected in large part by people who don’t read news, news being accurate information about what is happening.

Can’t with my cell phone.

written by Ingrid Jacques who backs Mom's for Liberty who is behind banning books in schools.

Ingrid bashed Hillary's belief, "It Takes A Village,"

Ingrid has also bashed President Biden.

I always look at the source before I even click on an article, it's why I will never click on The Hill.

Let's not have a rule about posting right wing talking points then if it's OK to post her BS.

Republicans only make up about 30% of the electorate. Polls show that Trump is severely underwater with independents who make up 40% of the electorate. Those are the people who regret voting for Trump.

A right wing nut job to support a narrative against democrats?
