Voters give Trump higher marks on border security, but they disapprove of his handling of several key issues, according to a national NBC News poll.
Majorities of registered voters disapprove of how Donald Trump has handled the issues that defined the first months of a tumultuous midterm election year, as Democrats maintain an advantage in the battle for control of Congress, according to a new national NBC News poll.
Voters give Trump poor marks for his handling of immigration after his administration surged federal agents into the heart of American cities and immigration officers in Minnesota killed two U.S. citizens in January. They are down on his tariffs after the Supreme Court struck down his main tariff program in February and Trump later reimposed some of those levies.
And they don’t like his actions on Iran, with the U.S. now at war with the nation after Trump ordered strikes starting last weekend — strikes a majority say should not have happened.
Honestly, what was the issue with the border before? I keep seeing Republicans and plenty of reactionary centrists say that Donvict “closed the border because Joe had an open border policy”.
What are they even talking about?
They’re full of shit. They’re calling asylum seekers illegals because Trump told MAGA that means they were let out of an insane asylum in another country and Biden brought them here to vote. It’s a ridiculous premise and he just makes up the numbers as he goes.
It’s a useful tool in that the vast majority of Americans don’t have any personal insight into what’s going on so if a right-wing rag tells them the borders are wide open and terrorist rapist serial killers are pouring in, many are inclined to buy that.
What we’re seeing now is MAGA trying to reconcile that invisible threat with actual problems like the cost of food, gas, housing, healthcare, etc.
