Trump rages at NYT survey, says ‘fake’ polling should be criminal offense?

This week, The New York Times and Siena University released a poll showing a majority of Americans disapprove of how President Trump is handling the economy, immigration, foreign policy and affordability. A full 51 percent say his policies have made life less affordable. Nearly half of voters — 49 percent — believe the country is worse off than a year ago.  

But instead of addressing the substance of the concerns, Trump took to Truth Social to attack the poll itself.  

Trump argues Republicans are fixing an economy damaged by President Biden. But Americans don’t live in talking points, they live in monthly bills. Inflation is up 2.7 percent year-over-year. The typical household is spending $184 more per month than last year, and $590 more each month than they did three years ago, according to Moody’s Analytics. Grocery prices haven’t meaningfully come down. Energy, medical care, coffee and ground beef all cost more.  

Suing pollsters and attacking the press won’t lower grocery prices, won’t stabilize energy costs, and won’t make life more affordable. Governing will. And right now, voters are saying — clearly  — they want less outrage and more results
