Long and frustrating post incoming. I am starting to really question how broken the minds of the citizens of America really are. The link below is an article about CNN's recent polling. Yeah, yeah, I know polling doesn't mean shit anymore and saying Trump has a lead over Biden doesn't really matter unless you are looking at the 5-6 key swing states that really matter but when you look at the way this poll reads it baffles me. 55% of poll responders feel Trumps presidency was a success while 61% say Biden's presidency thus far is a failure. In general, 58% have an unfavorable view of Biden compared to 55% having an unfavorable view of Trump. 70% say economic conditions in the US are poor. I mean, is the economy that bad for everyone on this board? Every indicator shows the economy is doing great. I would hate to see Biden's polling on the economy if we actually had a recession or shitty stock market or inflation that was still high due to Covid. Can someone explain these types of numbers logically?
On another note, I spent the last few days on a business golf trip with a bunch of my clients who are uber Trumpers (these aren't ignorant people but really intelligent successful guys) and they all kept telling me Biden is the real criminal and he is senile and won't live through the next term anyways, so you are just electing Kamala to be President. I feel like while they are super smart guys, they have been brain washed by Fox News and the right-wing pundits to point where they can't think correctly when it comes to politics. The way the media has warped the minds of the public really should be studied as a scientific experiment because it is truly amazing what has happened to the citizens of this country. Everyone on here saw the Kristi Noem puppy killing story but I can't wait until Fox News spends the next 12 months telling its viewers that killing your dog is really good for America and a year from now you will have half the country killing their dogs and being proud of it.
