Donald Trump stung as new poll shows how unpopular he is
newsweek.com

Donald Trump continues to have a low favorability score among Americans, new polling shows, despite being the likely Republican nominee after winning the lion's share of primaries and seeing off his only remaining rival.

An ABC News/Ipsos survey of 536 U.S. adults, conducted between March 8-9, found that 29 percent have a favorable view of the former president compared to 59 percent who view him unfavorably.

It came after Trump secured all but one of the primaries on Super Tuesday—giving him 1,075 out of 1,215 delegates he needs to become the presumptive Republican nominee—which prompted former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley to drop out of the race to leave him unopposed. Primaries being held on Tuesday could push Trump over the line.

Trump's popularity has remained largely unchanged since last summer. In similar polls conducted last year, which have a margin of error of 4.5 percent either way, he has hovered around a 30 percent favorability rating.

20% uncommitted echo chamber? Who's the one in the chamber?

80%+ of Dem voters want to stop israel's Genocide. Only Dems paid by AIPAC want to keep it going.

Biden will lose 100% if he keeps the Genocide going. He can't even campaign on colleges because of all the protests he's getting. His own left voters are working against him until he stops.

It's up to 60% of Dems as of late January. Source. If you have a more recent poll that shows 80% feel free to link it.

Half of US adults say Israel has gone too far in war in Gaza

No 50%+ of Democrats believe israel is committing Genocide

As for the ceasefire a quick google gives us 77% 15 days ago.

Even the majority of Republicans support a ceasefire. This is not a controversial opinion by now.

"Ceasefire" and "genocide" are two very different words coming from different camps.

"80% of Democrats want a ceasefire" is not what you said.

If Biden negotiates a ceasefire, obviously that will be a huge win. No one is doubting that.

If Biden takes a hard line against Israel, and starts using the word "genocide", he will lose voters.

You should not confuse those two positions.

A ceasefire is stopping israel's Genocide.

Israel is committing Genocide that is a fact.

A ceasefire would stop it that is a fact.

Biden is losing voters because he is not using the word Genocide and supporting israel. You are turning the world around.

that is a fact

Facts don't vote.

But you know what else is a fact? The poll numbers I linked.

You said "if Biden stops funding Israel's genocide", NOT "if Biden negotiates a ceasefire".

If Biden takes a hard line against Israel, he will lose votes.

Which votes? Can you back up your claim?

I already linked the polling data.

Where the AP article?

Yep.

What in there proved your point can you quote it like I do for my articles?

You can't read?

This is obvious sealioning but I'll indulge you this one time.

The poll shows 33% of Republicans now say Israel’s military response has gone too far, up from 18% in November. Fifty-two percent of independents say that, up from 39%. Sixty-two percent of Democrats say they feel that way, roughly the same majority as in November.

So 62% of Democrats say they have gone too far and not forcing a ceasefire would cost Biden votes?
