Stunning how badly Trump and the Rs have lost the debate on what their reconciliation bill will do. From new CBS/YouGov polling:

Hence, Trump's sending the military to California and threats to escalate by arresting the state governor.

Equally frightening is the poverty level for a family of 2 is $20,440 a year and you must make less than 200% of that to qualify for cost-sharing in certain programs or benefits. ($40,880) CHIP, MEDICAID, etc.

If the election was held today Trump and the GOP would probably still win, and thats the sad part

Sadly, the only ones the Republicans care about are the wealthy 60% who voted that it will help.

I'm referring to the wealthy 60% who voted in the poll, not the overall population.
jun 9, 2025, 6:58 pm • 0 0 • view
That’s not what the 60% is. 60% of all respondents believe that the bill would help the wealthy. It could be that every single wealthy person why was asked denied that it would help them, but regular folks know that’s exactly who it would most benefit.

I’ll guess the unbothered* non-voters who are either deeply cynical, uninformed/misinformed, or all of the above The “government always sucks so why bother to try” cohort. “Unbothered” doesn’t mean they won’t complain about what’s happening. Just that they won’t do a damn thing to change it.

Bold to assume there's consensus that "will hurt poor people" is a bad thing. The GOP has morphed from "trickle-down economics will help you eventually" to "let's make the people you don't like suffer." They don't even pretend they're going to help ordinary people anymore. Just hurt the Others.

"will hurt the middle class" is def not good; basically everyone considers themselves middle class
jun 9, 2025, 7:48 pm • 10 0 • view
When more of the middle class figures the bill will either help or have no effect, how is this "stunning how badly"? Seems to me a continuing indictment of American stupidity and ignorance.

How are so many still oblivious to what’s in the bill and what will happen to them if it passes? There are some people with their heads buried so deep up the anal canal of the current administration that they’ll believe any BS being spewed forth. Wow.😮

IMO, This poll means nothing if the GOP passes the bill
jun 9, 2025, 8:11 pm • 0 0 • view
It’s not a debate when one side lies outright. Trump and the GOP push policies they know will harm people, then rush to pass them before the truth catches up. The goal is simple: inflict damage, deny responsibility, and leave the public to deal with the fallout.

I see 53% of respondents think the middle class will either benefit from or be OK w the effects of this bill. That’s stunning. They think the rich will benefit & the poor suffer but they’re ok. Be glad you’re not poor.

It’s not stunning when you consider the lengths they have gone to to distract from it. Like “call in the national guard” really means “my poll numbers are absolutely fucking tanking.”

Sure. "Bad." Because both the left and the right vote based on what's economically advantageous for disadvantaged folks. Sure. That looks bad to many, but looks good to MAGA and Trumpies. Of course so good for people God has favored and remove incentives for sloth for others

It's only a stunning failure if you measure it in a vacuum. If you measure it against the underlying truth that it will hurt, it's pretty good support for the bill.
