A new survey shows very little buyers’ remorse among Floridians who voted for Donald Trump to be President for a second time.
The first four weeks of the Trump administration have seen shake-ups in foreign policy, the fight against illegal immigration and the federal workforce. But a University of North Florida poll shows that among the 380 Trump voters polled between Feb. 5 and Feb. 17, just 3% regard the man from Mar-a-Lago unfavorably.
Meanwhile, 94% of that group still approves of the President’s job performance.
Polling Director Michael Binder notes that “even with the sweeping changes implemented since he took office, so far it seems that Trump’s supporters in Florida are still along for the ride.”
Trump voters standing with the President are a key reason that he is still regarded favorably overall, with 47% approval against 45% disapproval in the larger sample of 871 registered voters.
Poll respondents who voted for Democrat Kamala Harris are not sold on the first few weeks of the Trump presidency. Just 2% approve of the President’s job performance so far, while 93% disapprove.
Non-voters polled are also nonplussed. Only 24% of them approve of Trump’s second term thus far, while 52% disapprove.
While they may be sour on Trump post-election, though, their failure to turn out in November when it mattered makes their concerns moot.
Trump took 56% of the vote in Florida in last year’s election, defeating the then Vice President by 13 points and making a mockery of Democratic claims that Florida was in play despite the Harris campaign not investing significant resources in the state.

No surprise here! If the twice impeached convicted felon shot and killed someone on 5th Avenue in NYC…….MAGA supporters would applaud and the SCOTUS would determine that Trump can’t be prosecuted because office of the President protects him.🤡

Trump won overwhelmingly in both the popular vote and electoral college vote. This should be no surprise. His polling is higher now than it was at any time during his last presidency. People want change. They were tired of the dumb and dumber administration.

Trump got 49.8% of the popular vote (77.3M) to Harris’s 48.3% (75M). How about Obama’s 2008 with 52.9% and 365 electoral votes. Sort of trumps, Trump’s 312.
And with protests on Presidents’ Day, his polling isn’t exactly booming (which isn’t even out yet).
Why do you keep lying? You won’t answer because you know you are wrong. Paid Shill.

So what?
Knowledge is power and everytime you put up some BS that isn’t true or stretch, I’ll be there with all the facts and a better analysis.
Why? Because at the end of the day you’re a sham and so is your ideology.

Also Clinton was over 370 electoral votes in both his wins, and speaking of landslides George HW Bush had 426! Trump is a bottom-third electoral victor, both times.
No mandate, no mandate, you’re the mandate.

JD,
Don’t be a DOGE bag. All of your stupid narrative turned out to be bullshit, and Republicans control every branch, the federal court system, overwhelming majorities of governs and state legislatures. We are in charge and are making policy, you’re punching the clown. What a tool.
JD

Hung Wiil, you finally crawled out of your bunker, or did someone leave the door to the short bus open?
What exactly turned out to be “bullsh!t”? The numbers? The fact that your “overwhelming” win was outpaced in 2020, when your side got absolutely steamrolled after botching a pandemic response so badly that people were literally dying in hospital parking lots? That loss was historic, trounced at the presidential level, the Senate flipped, and even Georgia turned blue. That wasn’t just a loss, that was an ass-kicking.
And now you’re here, beating your chest over a margin so thin you could spread it on toast? Acting like you’ve built an empire while standing on sand? Republicans might be in charge for now, but we both know how this goes – you overreach, you f@ck up, and two years later you’re back to crying about stolen elections and deep state conspiracies.
Enjoy your little power trip while it lasts, champ. History suggests it won’t be long before you’re back to shaking your fists at the sky and blaming Soros for your problems.
Don’t be a DOGE-Bag indeed.

Hmm…. That you for proving Peachy’s point. Trump and MAGA won, Harris and woke Marxism lost. Talk about a low intelligence voter…..

Trump won the election by a small popular margin, slightly less than 50 percent of the popular vote. Many of the anti-Trump popular voter believe Trump is an incipient fascist, which his immediate aggressive executive actions tend to bear out.
The flurry of Trump executive actions is overshadowed by the Big Show, which will be the tax laws being considered in Congress now. As in 2017 there will be massive tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations — like Musk, reputedly the world’s richest person, who paid no federal taxes last year.
My sense is many Trump voters did want change but others knew, win or lose, Trump would manufacture a Constitutional crisis that the Supreme Court would have to deal with. That crisis is shaping up now.

Peachy’s constant criticism of FP posters using google (a stand-in for search engines in general) is due to his aversion to facts. He cleaves instead to slander and insults, forever the playground bully..

A sham and my ideology? Huh? So I am for a smaller, more efficient government and the elimination of these crap programs that are funded by US taxpayers. I’m not alone JD. People voted for change and they are getting it. Trump is an ahole, but he is our ahole and taking care of the citizens of this country. What is wrong with that? You, the Squad, the liberal media, simply went too far. Trump is a disrupter and this is what the country needs. Biden was horrible and Kamala is just plain stupid.

Are they really creating meaningful change, or is it just sleight of hand? It’s like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic while the band plays.
Your ideology is a sham because of its hypocrisy. Where is the care for our citizens? Show us how his and Musk’s actions are achieving that. Connect the dots for us. We’ll wait.
Trump isn’t a disruptor; he’s a swamp creature like the very ones he claims to oppose. He’s just crawling out from a little deeper and more dirty muck.
And being “not alone” (a slim 1.5% majority isn’t much) doesn’t make something just or right. So far, you haven’t shown that the ideology you all champion is making anything better. Just that the guys at the top going to cause a lot of pain to others and not themselves.
What the country needs are politicans that are public servants . These guy are not.

Lina Khan’s legacy: The Trump Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division both affirmed their commitment to what the Biden enforcers built, to the ten plus years of anti-monopoly arguments.

Peachy, aka Impeach Biden, this is a classic: “…he is our ahole and taking care of the citizens of this country.”
No on both counts. He is your “ahole,” not mine, and he is taking care of himself, not anyone else.

It’s risible to claim allegiance to “smaller, more efficient” government while laws and norms are increasingly trashed by a non-elected plutocrat acting on orders from Trump.
MAGA: Cut social programs, give tax breaks to the wealthy and corporations.
