Majority of Americans are ready to support Trump and large parts of his agenda, says CNBC survey

Can you please just restart your country? And run a virus scan.

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.

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.

🤡

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:

1. What method was used to select the "1002 adults nationwide"? This is not described. Was it people with landlines that skew heavily older and conservative? Was it an even mix of blue and red states? IOW, was it even really random? I could not find this information anywhere.
2. This polling was conducted by an outfit named "Public Opinion Strategies" (appropriately, POS). Since we apparently can't know what sampling method was used (please! correct me if I'm wrong), we can maybe derive something from the either the organization doing the polling or the data itself. 2a: The data shows a slight shift to identifying as Republican (42/39). Anecdotally we can maybe surmise that people who say they are "strictly independent" may lean right-wing. Other demographic info suggests a slight bias toward older and less educated. 2b: In 2024 POS has been heavily used by Republicans. You can find this data on Open Secrets. Basically every single entity that gave them money that I looked up is Republican.

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.

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.

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.

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.
