AP Poll: Trump Lacks Mandate on Top Priorities

Though Donald Trump claims an "unprecedented and powerful mandate" upon taking office, an Associated Press-NORC Center poll finds that he lacks public support for many of his highest priorities. A majority in the poll oppose pardoning the 1,500 Jan. 6 insurrectionists convicted of crimes, oppose imposing tariffs on foreign goods and oppose withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement.

Ahh, back to polling. Did they bother to ask "Latinx" people this time?

Polls are for people who think their opinion matters. After noon eastern time today it no longer does, unless those people are billionaires ...

Designating "terrorist" allows bypassing Congress to executive order "wars".

As if polls or the will of the people matter anymore.

He never had a mandate to begin with. No polling is necessary to reach that conclusion.
