Majority of Americans are ready to support Trump and large parts of his agenda, says CNBC survey
54% of Americans are about to find out that their insurance companies will no longer cover their Hopium prescriptions.
While it's just a poll and should be met with healthy skepticism, this is also where we are at as a nation. If you're horrified by the result of this poll, me too, but that's an illustration of how much work needs to be done. Now is not the time to wallow or wring our hands or rend our clothes. Now is the time for action. Things won't get better without your help.
Have you tried a bake sale?

CNBC is a mouthpiece of the billionaires just like fortune
Yup. Buckle up buckaroos.
Got an email from HR this morning to make sure that any employees who were late had it noted on their time cards and any one who had to leave for doctors visits had the proper doctors note upon return.
It’s been years since we’ve been requiring any of this sort of stuff but suddenly we are going to start dicking the employees again and not just here.
My wife told me, she was told by a friend in HR that her company that they anre about to start rolling out some pretty draconian rules for employees (right out of the Project 2025 playbook).
Prepare to enter the Fuck Around and Find Out stage my friends.
Are these the same Americans that don't know that the ACA and Obamacare are the same thing, but want different things to happen to each? Fuck us all.
Please buckle your seat belts and keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times. We are now entering the “Find Out” portion of the ride. God luck.
54% of 1000 ppl. Majority of 300+ million. Yeah this seems totally legit and not bait.
🤡
And yet, only 22% voted for him… hmmmmmmm…
A little low sample size. Standard is 2000 and any more is wasted effort.
It's helpful to remember that news reporting on anything involving numbers is usually relying heavily on hyperbolic horse shit.
Here is the "source data" (LOL) for this: https://pos.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/FI14730D-CNBC-AAES-Q4.pdf
There are some key points that really matter here:
So, tl;dr until any poll can tell me their methodology and confirm that their sampling is truly random I'm just going to laugh at the "conclusions" made by the media.
Where did they hide that link? It's not in the article or the link the article points to when referencing the survey. Not surprising they want to hide it considering how speculative they are in their extrapolations.
It wasn't in the article or anything the article referenced. I had to dig for it. And yeah, not surprising at all.
They voted for him so yes that would be the case.
Oh yeah, I need to buy those solar panels before Jan 20, thank you for reminding me.
Where is the survey data? The article link just points to more articles editorializing.
If they just asked 1000 people willing to answer a survey from an unknown caller that's not exactly the heartbeat of a nation.
They just make shit up now, that was what the majority of pollsters were doing in the lead up to the election
News conglomerates owned by the rich exist to manufacture consent.
Overall, the survey found that 54% of the public are “comfortable and prepared to support” Trump as president. That’s down 2 points from when he took office in 2016. Some 41% are not comfortable, up 5 points from 2016.
The survey of 1,000 people nationwide was taken Dec. 5-8. It has a margin of error of +/- 3.1%.
The survey found 60% say deploying the military to the border to stop illegal drugs and human trafficking should be a 2025 priority for the new administration, with an additional 13% saying it should still be done but later in the term. The proposal is only opposed outright by 24%, including 51% of Democrats, 12% of independents and 3% of Republicans.
Support for raising tariffs is also more lukewarm, with 27% backing it outright and 24% saying it can be done later in the term. It’s opposed by 42% of respondents.
I'm sorry, this article isn't worth the bits it's saved in. Trying to read the national opinion and using just 1,000 people is bad science. At best this represents the (very small) portion of the population who would waste their time responding to a junk survey.
That's pretty standard size for a national opinion survey. How large do you think they're supposed to be?
For good, reliable data, several orders of magnitude more than 1,000 and it would need to have the methodology and data published along with it.
Opinion polls in general are not reliable sources of information and the wrong approach anyway. Telling people that X% of their neighbors hold Y opinion is a well known and effective propaganda and marketing tool for influencing opinion and decision making.
It's essentially institutional peer pressure.
The percentage of 'prepared to support' went slightly down from 56%to 54%, which is 2 percentage points or around 4%.
The percentage of 'not prepared to support' went up from 36% to 41%, which is 5 percentage points or around 14%.
The numbers are still kind of unbelievable, but at least the trend points into the right direction.
Well, isn't Trump the one who loves the poorly educated?
Although he is dumb as fuck, he understood that part.
I'm skeptical given he didn't even get 50% of the vote
well. America is asking for it.
América is officially a country of scum
That's generally what happens when you win the popular vote.
Barely.
Can you please just restart your country? And run a virus scan.
No virus scans under RFK's watch, sorry.
Try hitting him with a stick and shush him back to the woods.
The only antivirus we have installed is Windows Defender thanks to the Microsoft DoD contract
And it doesn't even defend against Windows 😔
Oh we're definitely on track for that. The reboot won't be any better though. "Classic Coke: now with 600% more billionaire control!"
