sentiment has improved (temporarily).

...1.86% YTD, & 2.2% relative over the last 5 trading days. The S&P is similar though not identical.
It's still down 6.96% from this year's high. (Jan 29)
Not sure the markets reflect the optimism you describe.
Admittedly it's up 5% over the last month. But, still down overall.
There's still a lot of uncertainty & skittishness.

and economic sentiment has improved (temporarily) for now.

But damned if pollsters, MEDIA pundits and many on DU want to keep reposting those election findings. Do you honestly think the morons who voted for him, but have since become unemployed, unemployable, seen their parents panicking over social security and medicare, watched their friends be rounded up and deported to Gawd knows where even though they were legally here to attend school?

Do you think that they have not noticed or recognized what tariffs will do to them and what they can eat or purchase or drive in the months and years to come?

Have you seen valid, real-time polls that say this? Repeated and validated with questions that clearly get at the issues? I haven't. But, please post if you have. Until then, I think it is bullshit.

To promote this madness, that’s why I’m asking here, sure looked like new stuff to me though

I simply wouldn’t understand if it’s real

But if there’s any truth at all to it, I just would like to know what their excuses are, not that it makes any difference anymore

He increased his share of young males, especially young Latino males, some of whom voted for Biden in 2020, others who were first time or irregular voters.

I have seen no evidence that there was a significant shift to Trump by young voters who were registered Democrats.

The DC circuit court from last year that said Trump does not have immunity?

I simply wanted anyone who knew the facts about it to tell me if they saw what reasons were given. I have already given up completely knowing that the Republican Party will not save this democracy.

I will still protest on June 14 at indivisible and I will still fight, but in my heart, I know we can’t win unless the Republican Party decides to be patriotic.

Gallup Poll Showed Trump Approval among 18-34 year olds in May at 33%. That was DOWN from 34% in April.

Civiqs poll shows Trump Approval among 18-34 year olds (as of today) at 34%. A month ago it was also at 34%. At the end of February it was at 36% so it has dropped over the past 3 months.

Good, legitimate pollsters are showing absolutely no increase in approval by young people.

That Insider advantage poll they referenced was so ridiculous it was laughable. They truly should be embarrassed to quote a poll so far out of line with any legitimate reliable pollsters. They should be but they won't be.

Subgroups in polls have much smaller samples than the overall population of the poll. That means their margins of error are much higher than the full poll. A poll with a MOE of 3 might have an MOE of ~10 with a given subgroup. So a number in a subgroup going from 38 to 44 between two polls can easily be explained by normal variation.

More recent polling which I have seen, shows young people heading in the other direction...


After all, he has done NOTHING to "lower prices on day one"---
Everything he has done is moving prices in the wrong direction.....

and the SHIT hasn't even BEGUN to hit the fan yet... well, it has just begun...
