Those are gargantuan approval numbers based strictly on policy, and from another left-leaning source no less (Harvard-Harris). He has only gained where that's concerned since @ColemanwastheGOAT started this thread. 81% in favor deportations, 76% want the border closed? 76% in favor of DOGE...I mean.

Firstly, when you poll people and lay out policy in a way in its most favorable language it always polls well. Kamala's policy polled well ahead of Trump's when separated from party. Secondly, to say 76 are in favor of DOGE is laughable. As you can see here, from various polls DOGE is deeply unpopular. https://www.axios.com/2025/02/23/musk-doge-disapproval-ratings-recent-polling

And as you can see from the polling I posted ahead, DEI is net positive and DOGE is net negative. That's across multiple polls not just one.

Harvard-HarrisX is not a left leaning poll lol. Here is an article from last year from the Crimson (Harvard paper) talking about the right wing bias of their polling outfit. https://www.thecrimson.com/column/forging-harvards-future/article/2024/3/26/bodnick-/

"It’s no secret that the Harvard-Harris Poll is inaccurate and misleading. A number of experts from both sides of the aisle — including statistician Nate R. Silver, Democratic pollster Geoff D. Garin ’75, Republican pollster Chris Wilson, liberal journalist Josh M.J. Marshall, and conservative law professor Ilya Somin — have criticized the survey. FiveThirtyEight, a public opinion blog that aggregates political polls, recently ranked Harris Insights & Analytics in the bottom 50 percent of American pollsters.

Harvard aspires to be the top academic institution in the world — so why is the University attaching its name to a mediocre poll that has been blasted by political experts? Harvard should immediately disaffiliate from this flawed and biased survey.

Since 2017 — when Trump sympathizer Mark J. Penn ’76 became one of the poll’s co-directors — the poll has relied on leading questions. Unlike a proper survey, which asks unbiased questions in order to collect accurate and reliable information, Harvard-Harris poll questions tend to align with right-wing narratives and prompt respondents to lean toward conservative choices."

Ease up.

Guy read "Harvard" and assumed everyone smart or educated must be left wing.

Lol, it's just strange because literally the HarrisX/Harvard poll is known by people that follow polling specifically for its right wing framing of questions to get positive responses. Like, that's what it is famous for. If you want to believe those responses that's one thing but to claim it's left wing is funny. On balance, the overwhelming majority of polling shows most of Trump's policy is either 50/50 or slightly underwater.

Yes.

Pretty disingenuous to claim 76% are in favor of DOGE based on those polls.

I don't think you would find many people to say they're not in favor of eliminating waste in government. If framed more accurately opinions certainly change.

And really it goes for most of those questions, there's a difference in supporting or disapproving of a policy, and supporting how it's being handled by the people in power. When you actually tie the people implementing policy and how it's being implemented to the questions, it radically changes opinions when the policies aren't presented in a vacuum.

"In a perfect world, the three great pillars of U.S. government stand firm, functional, and aligned with the Constitution. It's clear at the moment that registered voters sense dysfunction," said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.

Harvard's CGIS is absolutely left-leaning. Although not nearly as brazen as the Institute of Politics with a former Democratic US Senate candidate as its director. Those polls had Kamala with 30+ point leads heading into the election, lol. You really believe 81% being in favor of deportations and 76% in favor of a closed border with more policies to further discourage crossings can be explained away by "framing"?

You're wrong. CGIS does not do polling. CGIS = Center for Government and International Studies. HarrisX/Harvard Polls are by Harvard CAPS which = Center for American Political Studies. CAPS is ran by Mark Penn who has supported Trump and RDS in recent years. It is not left leaning.

The final IPSOS polls that you said Harris ahead by 30 points had Harris up by 2 with a 3 point margin of error. Trump won the popular vote by 1 point. This isn't going to work.

It just seems like he's gaslighting himself into believing supporting Trump was a good idea.

I'm glad I moved all of my crypto into USDC 2.5 weeks ago. I had a feeling all markets would start deteriorating.

In the plus side, we may have some BTC buying opportunity in a few months.
