Poll: Majority Say Trump Threatened Democracy

 

A New York Times / Siena poll released late last week shows the Malignant Loser is viewed by the majority of voters (54%) as having threatened democracy after he lost the 2020 election. His unfavorable ratings were also under water, with 53% viewing him negatively. A narrower majority (51%) believe that the Malignant Loser committed serious Federal crimes. Depressingly, his cult / tribal MAGA Republican following remains fairly steady from July's polling, proving his statement in 2016 that, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK." If a violent insurrection that he organized and directed based on his monstrous Big Lie won't sway them, it's hard to fathom what will.

The poll was conducted from September 6 to 14, after the stash of classified documents was found at the Malignant Loser's Mar a Lago estate, but before the New York Attorney General's office sued him (and his offspring) for years of widespread fraud in connection with the corrupt Trump Organization.
