NBC "News" Poll: 74% of Americans Say We're on the Wrong Track; All-Time High Say America's Best Days Are Behind It

This is the longest period during which over 70% of the public has said we're on the wrong track -- nearly a year.

As you know Biden received 81 million vohhhhhsshheszzzzzzzzz.

Sorry, I fell asleep writing that due to the well-known syndrome called Repetitive Lie Narcolepsy.

Nearly three-quarters of voters in a new poll said they believed things in the U.S. were headed in the wrong direction.
An NBC News poll revealed just 21 percent of voters feel the nation is headed in the right direction, while 74 percent think the opposite.
Over half of respondents, or 58 percent, said they feel "more worried that America's best years may already be behind us," while 35 percent feel more confident the best years are still ahead.
About a third of respondents, or 34 percent, said they think the state of the nation will worsen over the next five years. Just two percent more, or 36 percent, said they think things will get better in that same time period, and 21 percent said they think things will stay the same.

In addition, a combined 71% think that the "Inflation Reduction Act" -- which the media now nigh-exclusively calls a "climate bill" -- will either have no effect on inflation or make inflation worse.

Don't worry, Democrats! Don't worry, Paul! Take heart, Raykon!

NBC's Bloated Talking Points Warthog Yamiche Alcindor says that the only reason Democrats say we're on the wrong track number is because they're worried that Trump or any other Republicans will win 2022 or 2024.

NBC's @Yamiche Alcindor on 74 percent of Americans saying the U.S. is on the wrong track: "They're very worried about former President Trump coming back into power, or former President Trump or another Republican stealing the election in 2022 or 2024."

Yamiche's now just blaming any negative polling on Democrats fearing that, at some time in the future, some Republicans at some time will win some elections.

And also, that Republicans are going around the country lying to people, telling them that inflation is bad and gas prices are high.

So, all negative polls are due to Republicans lying, and Democrats worrying that lying Republicans may one day get into office again, due to their lies.

That should take care of all negative poll findings for Democrats from here forward, huh?

Thanks to Anonysaurus Wrecks for that, from @TomSElliott. Video clip below.

Here's an idea: make people's lives better instead of worse, and you can avoid Trump coming back to power.

I assume you could analyze this pretty well now. We've had many, many elections where the candidates have to list their expenditures.

Yes, some elections, markets, and candidates will be different then others, but you should be able to derive how effective each type of advertising is by now.

Was that ever done?

My guess is that they (campaign consultants) have no idea, but because that's the only thing they know, every problem gets addressed that way. How else can they justify their phoney baloney jobs? It's the political equivalent of global warming.

84 Right, Republicans are going to steal the election, but that does not explain why Repubs (especially MAGA Repubs) are doing so well in polling.

"Wrong direction" increasing in polls is correlated with Repub's positive polling (and Dems negative).

Plus it was Democrats across the board involved in shutting out R's from vote counts, Dems funded the drop box fraud, etc.

140 The corrective fixes are to conduct random ground area frame interviews and combine that with your call list to determine the error rate of your call list. Ironically, the smaller the district, the harder it is to poll accurately so for the most part, the media polls right now only focus on macro polling of the US where the sample selection and oversampling of minorities, etc. can be done cheaply. But, the special sauce is what your frame is for sampling--pick a bunch of CA and MASS voters, you get a more liberal response than AL but this is mainly opaque to anyone because these internals are almost never released.

Probably more selective on who they poll. They probably know which phone numbers are more likely to agree with the commies based upon previous polls. They then concentrate on those phone numbers to improve Pedo's numbers. The reverse would to be sure for conservatives.

Biden stopped exploration of ANWR
Biden Stopped Leasing of Federal Lands.
Biden Stopped Permitting of oil leases.

Oil became more expensive.
Russian Oil became more valuable.
Russian Oil filled the shortages from less US Production.
Putin, who was canceling new aircraft, new tanks, new ships to finance the Russian Welfare State, suddenly had more money.
Putin could finance the Russian Civilian state, and the Russian Military this last two years.
Suddenly a year after Joe Biden takes office, thinks get froggy in Ukraine.
Part of it was Russia thought it had enough oil and gas money to go to war.

The private polling that candidates do is pretty accurate but these require big bucks that the media does not pay. A pollster engaged in that particular business has to be accurate or be fired. These are almost never released--except as distorted internal polls for suckers aka donors. The easiest way to do that is adding special sauce in the projected turnout of different groups. Besides the media likes being able to skew their polls for the narrative.

204 In normal times, I would say that this poll is very good news -- that such a solid majority of people agree we need to go back and set things right.

But not this year.

I think this level of disapproval will be used by the Left -- the same people who celebrate the "necessary pain" of gasoline users in order to once-and-for-all change their behavior -- not to turn back to what worked, but to convince the dolts among the 74% that America doesn't work, can't work, and that we've always been at war with Oceania. Thus, the only way forward is to scrap the whole experiment and rebuild it with a focus on "equity" and all that other nonsense.

Only 15% of the population has a Federally guaranteed student loan, and the median amount is less than $30,000.

Only a tiny fraction of student loan borrowers racked up six-figures in debt to get a gender studies degree from NYU, and since they all vote Democrat anyway, there's no upside to forgiving the debt, and lots of political downside.

292 Polling is useful for trends, not for actual numbers unless you have access to the internals of a poll including sampling frame which are not released much if ever.

Some polling outfits have a much better track record than others and some have a good track record in certain states but not others. I knew a guy that used to run the Roper Center polling and learned a bunch from the guy about the nitty gritty of polling on politics. Knew it from the consumer end but not the production end.

So, a binary polling is good, polling is bad throws away useful information. What most people don't do in political analysis is triangulate data sources--like new voter registrations, local economic factors for the respondent, proper weighting via demographics of the sample of voters in a district/polling frame, normal partisan vote in the frame/district, and so on.

Want a lesson, read Michael Barone's Almanac of American Politics which comes out every two years with detailed information about the state or congressional district plus the incumbent if any.

Even in Kansas, which is about as red and religious as a state can get, they voted down a statewide abortion ban.

A lot of voters are able to separate a moral stance from a legal one. Im sure many of those same people in Kansan morally oppose abortion that voted to not ban it outright.

A dozen eggs around here is around 5.69. It does vary, higher and lower. I was just in Costco the other day and it was 4.69 for TWO dozen. Those are 2019 prices, if not even earlier. They have a use by of six weeks or so. I don't see a valid argument against that other than you're not gonna eat 2 dozen eggs, but that depends on the person/family.

445 The effect of campaign money on elections is severely overrated.

Posted by: Ian S.
-----------------------
Yes and no. There is not a linear effect on campaign money and share of the vote nor increasing the likelihood of victory. At a certain point, campaign money increases both the share of the vote and the likelihood of victory but then you either get a decreasing marginal effect or sometimes even an actual negative effect (you are spending because you have a tough opponent) on both. At some point though, you spend through the roof and both variables turn up again. Michael Huffington in the 90's spent over 30 million for a House seat in CA and won. Jon Corzine spent over 100 million in both his initial Senate campaign and then his gubernatorial race. He won.

Funny thing is that Cheney outspent Hageman by gobs but still lost--think it was around $300 per vote for Cheney. She would have done better handing out benjamins on the street corner in Laramie than spending it on ads.

Life insurance industry among others. Unpredictable deaths are hitting them in the profits and these people live, breathe, and speak statistics if you have ever met an actuary. They run rings around the media, pharma, and medical industries.

I had seen rumblings on social media about Big Insurance going after Big Pharma re: deaths associated with mRna jabs. But so far the only follow-up I've seen is that Big Insurance refuses to pay on life policies for those jab-injured because they assented to being guinea pigs, essentially. (They agreed to be treated with experimental biotech.)

475 What the high elite Democrats don't want to acknowledge(and might just be nervous about) is that there is now a good percentage of black folks who have money. Money in their homes, savings accounts, 401k's as well as in jelly jars and coffee cans in the back yard. Those people feel the same smack that white folks have felt since this administration took office. those same black folks watched how their savings and investments grew under Trump. Trump might be the kind of man he is but as the POTUS, he filled the coffers.

Fast forward 50-60 years and we’re collapsing. Anyone care to argue with that?

549 I had seen rumblings on social media about Big Insurance going after Big Pharma re: deaths associated with mRna jabs. But so far the only follow-up I've seen is that Big Insurance refuses to pay on life policies for those jab-injured because they assented to being guinea pigs, essentially. (They agreed to be treated with experimental biotech.)

Posted by: kallisto
----------------
Big insurance can do that if vaxx is stated as the cause but will have problems denying claims of cancers, heart attacks, etc. that are time delayed from the vaxx administration. That is what is driving the death increases and not so much dropping dead instantly. If life insurance starts denying claims wholesale from younger people because of the vaxx then the whole thing goes into the media. Essentially, a secret this big is not going to be kept as it is happening world wide. I would look at getting out of big Pharma companies that have shot exposure as they will likely be bankrupt over time.

Rice (who lives with the Obama's) announced details of Biden’s “unity summit” planned in September at the White House.

“Hate must have no safe harbor in America,” she wrote on the White House website noting the summit would “counter the corrosive effects of hate-fueled violence on our democracy and public safety.”
Described as Biden’s behind-the-scenes “power broker,” in the White House, Rice is a rumored successor to White House chief of staff Ron Klain should he leave his position.

But Trump doesnt really believe he won by some giant margin, he knows he lost a close election. If he thought he won some landlide and they rigged it, he wouldnt run again
