A majority of Americans see Trump as a "dangerous dictator"

[Politruk]

Axios:

A majority of Americans say President Trump is a "dangerous dictator" who poses a threat to democracy and believe he's overstepped his authority by actions such as the mass firing of federal employees, a new survey says.

Why it matters: The wide-ranging poll released Tuesday, on Trump's 100th day in office, is the latest sign of him losing support for his immigration and economic policies — the two issues that largely fueled his election.

Zoom in: Only four in 10 Americans expressed favorable views of Trump after his first 100 days in office, according to the survey by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI).

• And 52% agreed with the provocative statement that Trump "is a dangerous dictator whose power should be limited before he destroys American democracy," the survey said.
• That question provided a big warning sign for Trump: Most independents (56%) agreed that Trump is a "dangerous dictator," suggesting that middle-of-the-road voters who helped put him back in office are abandoning him.

Zoom in: The survey is among those that have shown the most dissatisfaction with Trump's push for mass deportations, sweeping tariffs, more control of colleges, and firing or laying off more than 100,000 federal employees.

You and your deranged friends are not the majority.

This was a poll of the general public, of whom a majority see Trump as a dangerous dictator. Already. At 100 days.

But no Trump supporters polled.

You keep saying this without any supporting evidence.

Hint: Republicans were polled, including maga fucks

That is a lie. It was not a poll of registered Democrats, it was a poll of the general public -- how could Trumpers be screened out? If they had been, the anti-Trump responses would have been a lot more than 52%.

I posted the purposefully low percentages of Trump supporters polled.

No, you didn't. You have posted nothing whatsoever to support that dishonest position.

No, you posted what you said was the low percentage.

You didn't actually post any percentage.

Go back and look in Eric's thread.

Show me.

Hint: you didn't do that

That would have nothing to do with the Axios poll in this one.

A majority of Americans

No, a majority of the 5,397 people selected by Axios allegedly said this.

It was a random sample of the public. That's how polling works.

Trump said that he wants to be the next Pope. Reichguide calls leftists 'deranged'.

If only 5,397 people were polled that seems like to small of a number for an accurate poll

Something in that range the usual number -- it's how all the polling firms have been doing it for the past hundred years.

The poll samples were not adjusted to reflect voter turnout in the recent election. They oversampled "Other" by almost double and did not define "Other" - which means they may have only contacted Greens. Thus the result.

Yesterday he said that he rules the world, today he wants to be Pope. He could be the first atheist Pope in his mind.

He needs locking up.

What on Earth are you talking about? A polling sample should never be "adjusted to reflect voter turnout in the recent election." The rest of your post is simply nonsense.

I'm sure Trump would not be the first atheist Pope.

This.

A majority of those polled see this claim.

The majority of a whopping 5k people. Which means up to 49% of them didn't feel this way. Which means about 2.5k people are making this claim in the poll.

From your source:

A majority of Americans agree that “President Trump is a dangerous dictator whose power should be limited before he destroys American democracy” (52%), compared with 44% who agree that “President Trump is a strong leader who should be given the power he needs to restore America’s greatness.”

This statement heavily implies that the majority of Americans believe this when it's actually referring to only those who were polled.

Also, location, location, location!

Because where the poll was taken is relevant.
