I don't know what your point is? The numbers from the meme are right in your source?
Memes aren't journalism.
Ah, you just wanted to provide a source?
This is a good example of a poorly worded poll question, assuming that the respondents were actually asked "the United States is in a Constitutional crisis". Different people can answer that question "yes" with wildly different mental states. For example:
- Someone who views Trump's actions as unconstitutional and sees a need for congress/the courts to reign him in could say, "yes" as they see this as a Constitutional crisis.
- A full blown MAGA believer could see Congress's and the Court's attempts to stop Trump as unconstitutional and prompting a Constitutional crisis.
Without followup questions, all this poll question would tell us is that a bunch of people see "Constitutional crisis" as a fitting description for the current state of the US government.
Thank you!
For anyone who listened to anything coming out of the right wing media, they have been screaming constitutional crisis since the first of trump's trials.
They believed their choice of media pipeline. Some knew exactly what they were voting for, but some were just scared into submission by cable or Facebook.
We need to embrace every single defector by assuming positive intentions, the same way psychologists help transition people after leaving a cult. We win by healing and unifying.
We want 'change' and Obama didnt scratch that itch, so people tried trump. Oh a lot changed. But not in a good way, so lets go with Joe. Nothing. Well we're back wanting change so lets try trump again, oops rolled a 1 on a d20.
YouGov is a UK Government polling service, so you're seeing British polling responses regarding the chaos on the USA.
We didn't vote for him.
The survey was done of U.S. citizens. You can look up the survey on YouGov.com to see the population surveyed. The survey is titled “Democracy, Trump, and Musk”
Target population: U.S. Citizens, aged 18 and over.
Sampling method: Respondents were selected from YouGov's opt-in panel to be representative of adult U.S. citizens.
As noted in their “about” page, YouGov does international research. https://today.yougov.com/about
With operations in the UK, the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, India and Asia Pacific, we have one of the world's largest research networks.
Even if it were the results from American respondents, the question is vague enough to go either way. Trump supporters feel like their dear leader is being challenged by the courts and foreign governments thinking they can claim sovereignty over their own country just because it's theirs. Trump critics would also say we're in the middle of a constitutional crisis because they have functioning eyes and brains.
Propaganda works.
But he'll lower the price of eggs and gas. And he'll get rid of of all dem illegals dat tooked our jarbs we don't want.
Maybe conservatives just want to buy cheaper shares and sell them after Trump's term ends.
