Democrats wake up! Poll: Trump's jobs offensive is scoring points with Dems and independents

[realmirage]

I really wish more Democrats would wake up and realize what needs to be done to get back in the majority of our government.

New results from the CNBC All-America Economic Survey found more than half of Independents and a quarter of Democrats said they are comfortable and prepared to support Trump as president. An overwhelming 56 percent of those respondents said the top item on his economic agenda should be keeping jobs in the U.S.

The survey of 800 Americans from across the country was conducted December 2-5 by Hart Research Associates and Public Opinion Strategies. Its margin of error is 3.5 percentage points.

Republican pollster Micah Roberts said the results indicate Trump's push to keep jobs on U.S. soil, like his recent deal with Indiana-based air conditioner company Carrier, extends his appeal beyond the coalition of voters who helped him win the election.

"Americans see it as him being potentially a strong advocate for the worker," said Roberts, who is vice president at Public Opinion Strategies.

1. He is going to have to bribe a lot of companies to keep that up for any length of time. n/t

[kimbutgar]

2. This is a bs poll and CNBC has always been rethug lite network

I know of nobody who has accepted the election results and agree orange hitler is legitimats. You go on Facebook and see the petitions against him. Bs poll.

[Historic NY]

3. A survey of 800 who don't even have a fucking clue how many Obama created.

Trump Mafia keeps China in business from his daughter monthly shipments of cheap crap and his crappy ties, shirts. etc.

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Average viewer of CNBC earns in

excess of 150,000/year. So apples and oranges when it comes to their surveys. BTW,this so called Business News Channel has the nick name of "the day trader channel".

[annabanana]

5. This guy just staffed Mar-a-lago with H1B workers

instead of Americans. Why the hell do they believe them?

[bdamomma]

6. is this article legitimate???

I see trump as a nut case.

"Americans see it as him being potentially a strong advocate for the worker," said Roberts, who is vice president at Public Opinion Strategies.

[Freethinker65]

7. I will admit, this is offensive

[WhiteTara]

8. bwahahahaha

these people are so funny, and stupid.

[resistance2016]

23. I think it's time for a new word besides "stupid"

People who voted for f'ing Donald Trump because they think he's going to help them with a job - that's WAAAAAAY beyond "stupid."
We need a new word, something like "strumpid" to describe those people.

[WhiteTara]

25. Well, strumpid is very close to

strumpet, which is a derogatory work for a woman, so maybe something different.

But stupid is rather mild for these "people" and I'll think about another word for them too.

BTW Welcome to DU

[elleng]

27. Yes. Thanks.

Too many foolish words being used around here, without thought, imo.

[realmirage]

9. I guess losing to a nutcase isn't enough for us to ask why we lost to a nutcase

[Me.]

10. What Jobs Offensive?

So far it's stagecraft and spin

[realmirage]

11. So if he's such an idiot why are the Democrats in the minority? We have to be smarter and listen to

the people in all 50 states. Or at least act like we give a fuck so they'll vote for us.

[brush]

17. Most of us are smarter than those idiots polled who seem to have forgotten how many jobs Obama saved

by stopping the repugs from shutting down the entire auto industry.

What about you? Did you forget that too? And the millions of other jobs create during the last eight years?

We were losing 750,000 jobs a month under Bush. God, stupid people must have short memories.

And we are not the minority. Clinton won nearly three million more votes, but even that couldn't stop Comey, Putin, Assange and repug vote suppression.

And haven't you heard of the huge story erupting today that Russians undermined out democracy in working to install Trump? No one wants to hear anything right now about Trump's phony grandstanding bit of saving 800 jobs by bribing Carrier with tax benefits when he's now under huge suspicion for working with Putin to swing the election.

[realmirage]

18. I haven't forgotten that we just lost, and we'd better figure out why, very quickly

After the 2020 census, Repubs will do their gerrymandering shit and we will be toast.

[brush]

19. I must told you why . . . Comey, Putin, Assange and repug vote suppression.

The story is breaking out right now.

[Me.]

24. Please Remind Me Who Won The MOst Votes

[LenaBaby61]

12. CNBC and a poll saying what?

No thanks

I've had ENOUGH fake news to last me a lifetime.

[Quixote1818]

13. His plan is to act tough, save a few thousand jobs while undermining American workers

in every other aspect. He is master at calling attention to BS stuff like Carrier while he wants to cut SS and Medicare and keep wages low. This will work well until we go into a recession which is very likely. Then nothing he says will resonate as he will just look like he is fucking up the economy. I suspect he will blame Obama but that only goes so far once you are in office and have both houses.

[doc03]

14. Oh yes I have heard more than one person say Trump hasn't even taken

office and he has done more than Obama did in 8 years. These dumb asses fall for his bullshit.

[calguy]

15. Polls right now are meaningless

Then next election is two years away. Can Trump keep up the bullshit that long? Yes he can.
The question is will the people still be so easy to bullshit?
I doubt it.

[JimBeard]

16. I guess if I had watched the Apprecince I might be a little more understanding.

I think the masses who are having a tough time making money looks to the TV Show and the Lottery as their way out of debt.

HOWEVER, many of the working Labor Union people making up to $75,000 spit on Hillary. Screw them, start working on Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Texas. Adding New York and North and a few more East coast states. Its the new voter block.

[spanone]

20. utter horseshit fake news.

[workinclasszero]

21. Boy those those dems and independents will be shocked

when god emperor Dump kills the Federal minimum wage law huh?

CNBC is the voice of Goldman Sachs and Wall St...fuck it.

[KamaAina]

22. Your autocorrect snuck 'jobs' in there for some reason

and substituted 'is' for 'but'.

[Lint Head]

26. And Mussolini mad the trains run on time.

[Nevernose]

28. I don't know how to change the narrative

Does anyone out there?

[uppityperson]

30. Why are you accusing a duer of being a Trump supporter for copy pasting an article?
