Most Americans support Donald Trump’s policies, despite the president-elect’s approval rating hovering around 50%, according to a New York Times and Ipsos poll published on Saturday.

The poll, which surveyed 2,128 adults from January 2 to 10, indicated strong backing for several of Trump’s key policy priorities, such as reducing illegal immigration and implementing protectionist measures against Chinese imports.

More than two-thirds of respondents oppose offering ‘gender-affirming care’ to children, another major agenda item for Trump. Around 71% of Americans believe that no minors should be prescribed puberty-blocking drugs or hormones.

Last month, Trump vowed to end “transgender lunacy,” promising to prohibit sex change surgeries for minors and keep trans athletes out of women’s sports. Nearly four in five respondents agree that athletes ‘assigned male’ at birth but who have transitioned should not be allowed to compete against women.

The vast majority of respondents (87%) support deporting illegal immigrants with criminal records, one of Trump’s central talking points during his reelection campaign. More than half of the respondents either strongly or somewhat support the deportation of all illegal immigrants in the US, according to the poll.

Nearly two-thirds of the respondents – including 54% of Hispanics and 44% of Democrats – favor deporting undocumented migrants who entered the US during President Joe Biden’s last four years in office. The Biden administration reversed several immigration restrictions set by Trump during his first term in office, contributing to a spike in illegal immigration.

Support for Trump’s promises to impose heavier tariffs on Chinese and Mexican imports is nearly evenly split, but slightly leaning toward opposition. Approximately 46% support raising tariffs on goods imported from China and Mexico, while 50% oppose these measures.

What about raising tariffs on Canada?

Trump’s favorability rating remains just below 50%, according to data posted by poll aggregator website FiveThirtyEight on Friday.

More than half of Americans view the entire US political system as broken, according to the NYT/Ipsos poll. Around 57% of Democrats and 63% of Republicans believe that the political system has been broken for decades.

Of course, it broke in November 1963 when Deep State took over. They have controlled it ever since and now they think they own it. 
Government 'for the people, by the people' refers to the wealthy elite only!

Cowardly NY Legislature Fails to Pass Child Sex Abuse Bill

New York Legislature passed laws on boozy brunches, cremated cats and hunting for her — but squat for sex abuse victims

ALBANY — While state leaders turn their backs on child sex abuse victims again this year, they found time to shower love on female hunters, brunch-goers and pet lovers.

The state Legislature ended its session on Friday with no deal on a bill to make it easier for child sex abuse survivors to seek justice — something victims and advocates have pushed for a decade.

But lawmakers this year did manage to pass an array of apparently more pressing legislation.

Among them is a bill to allow the use of fluorescent pink, instead of just orange, hunting attire in order to attract more women and young people into the woods.

Kathryn Robb, a child sex abuse survivor and advocate, was flabbergasted.

“It’s more important to fashionably dress female hunters than it is to protect children from sexual abuse and give victims of sexual abuse justice?” Robb said. “Wow. That is something much greater than outrageous.”

Meanwhile, Gov. Cuomo and legislative leaders, who couldn’t come to terms on a bill for sex abuse victims, did agree on legislation that would allow restaurants to begin serving alcohol on Sundays at 10 a.m., instead of the current noon requirement.

Always good to have a shot or two before church!

The Daily News has pushed for the Child Victims Act to be passed.

The New York Times, on the other-hand, didn't even mention the failure to deal with child sex abuse legislation when they covered the wrap-up today. Pretty sad! They need to be educated.

The Legislature also passed a bill that would let the cremated remains of dogs and cats be buried with their owners.

Another bill that passed both houses would allow college students under 21 enrolled in programs involving the agriculture, hospitality and beverage industries to partake in tastings at off-campus wineries, distilleries and breweries as long as they are supervised by an instructor.

Gary Greenberg, an upstate investor who was sexually abused as a child, called it “depressing” and a “slap at all the victims” that the Legislature had no trouble passing more frivolous bills while leaving abuse survivors hanging.

“The reason the Legislature passes meaningless bills is to build up their voting records to cover the fact they do nothing on the real issues,” Greenberg said. “The feelings victims have is that by not passing the Child Victims (Act), they are being revictimized by the Legislature.”

In a bitter irony, even as some lawmakers were against the Child Victims Act because they oppose opening a window to revive old sex abuse cases, the state Senate Thursday gave final passage to a bill that leaves open a separate window that allows Vietnam veterans exposed to Agent Orange to bring lawsuits even though the statute of limitations for such cases expired in 1985.

In explaining his support for the bill, Sen. Brad Hoylman (D-Manhattan) pointed out the hypocrisy of the situation.

“Just as Vietnam veterans were exposed to Agent Orange through no fault of their own, we have kids who are exposed to predators at no fault of their own,” said Hoylman, the Senate sponsor of the Child Victims Act. “I hope this chamber takes up the Child Victims Act before it’s too late.”

Robb said while she supports the Vietnam vet bill, “what is astonishing is the flat-out hypocrisy, duplicity and convenient inconsistency around (statute of limitations) reform by the Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan and Deputy Majority Leader (John) DeFrancisco. Nothing short of pure hypocritical deal-making.”

Not to mention cowardly, unfeeling and inconsiderate. 

An Assembly version of the Child Victims Act cleared a key committee Wednesday night, but it was unclear as of Thursday evening whether it would be taken up by the full house before the session ends. The Senate was not prepared to pass it.

New Yorkers, please make these cowards pay in November and elect people who care about children and child sex survivors more than the organizations that abused them.
