There is a group called Alaska Survey Research that periodically sends out (via email) surveys. If I have a few minutes to spare at the time, I will typically take the survey and send my results back to them. They then collate the results and create a report to send back to those who participated. They are not a political group – they just gather data about numerous topics, then put the information out there for everyone to see.
This particular survey was a political one, however: namely asking questions about our current President and his policies. The questions were all “Do you approve/disapprove” type of questions, concerning Immigration/Securing the Border, National Security, ICE Deportations, Foreign Policy, Jobs & the Economy, Tariffs, and Cost of Living/Inflation.
Across the bord, the answers all leaned toward the negative side. A vast majority of those who responded to the survey strongly disapproved of all these policies. And yet – when asked if they would vote for him again, the majority of participants said they WOULD.
Why in the world would you vote for somebody when you don’t approve of a thing he’s done while in office? What kind of logic is that? They even acknowledged that his plan to run for a third term is in clear violation of the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution – and yet they STILL plan to vote for him.
Now, I make no bones about the fact that I am strongly opposed to the current president. I did not vote for him, nor do I approve of a single thing he’s done. And I certainly am not going to vote for him a third time.
But at least
I am consistent. I just don’t see the logic.
