New poll shows the majority of the country agrees with most of Trump's policies. Why do Dem politicians choose to oppose popular policies?

I am using my phone. I can see it. I am not using a desktop I have no way of knowing how it is going to show on a desktop.  
It does clearly show who conducted the poll. 

You didn't post this which I copied from your link:

STEADY FROM LAST MONTH, 40% SAY THE COUNTRY IS ON THE RIGHT TRACK - That means 60% don't believe that.

JUST 37% OF VOTERS SAY THE ECONOMY IS ON THE RIGHT TRACK - That means 63% don't.

AROUND ONE THIRD OF VOTERS SAY THEIR PERSONAL FINANCIAL SITUATION IS IMPROVING - That means two thirds don't.

TRUMP’S APPROVAL REMAINS FLAT, NOW AT 46%

TRUMP APPROVAL IS NOW UNDERWATER ON ALL ISSUES EXCEPT FOR FIGHTING CRIME

GOP APPROVAL IS STEADY AT 47%

DEMOCRATIC PARTY APPROVAL IS 42%

STEADY FROM AUGUST, A PLURALITY FEEL TRUMP’S POLICIES WILL MAKE THEM WORSE OFF, AND OVER HALF THINK THEY WILL INCREASE INFLATION

VOTERS DOUBT TRUMP’S ABILITY TO SOLVE GLOBAL CONFLICTS; 63% SKEPTICAL ON UKRAINE (+4PTS FROM AUG) AND 64% ON ISRAEL-HAMAS

VOTERS ARE SPLIT OVER WHETHER TRUMP IS A DICTATOR OR STRONG PRESIDENT; A SLIM MAJORITY SAY TRUMP HAS EXCEEDED HIS AUTHORITY

A SMALL MAJORITY SAY TRUMP IGNORES COURTS, WHILE MOST SUPPORT SINKING DRUG BOATS

THERE IS BROAD OPPOSITION TO THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, WITH SLIM MAJORITY BLAMING THE REPUBLICANS

A MAJORITY OF VOTERS THINK TRUMP’S TARIFFS ARE HARMING THE ECONOMY, UP 3PTS FROM AUGUST

THERE IS BROAD CONSENSUS THAT POLITICAL RHETORIC HAS BECOME TOO EXTREME, INCLUDING TRUMP’S LANGUAGE

My post is about POLICIES...And showing that MOST of the people support MOST of President Trump's POLICIES. 

Not the general direction, favorably of the POTUS, rhetoric of both sides, etc.  We can discuss those in another question if you like.  

Just as on another question here, about prescription advertising,  everyone agreed on them....but only one mentioned Trump agrees with everyone as well (policy),  and I am sure some would find someway to disagree with the policy if they realized they agree with Trump. 

TRUMP APPROVAL IS NOW UNDERWATER ON ALL ISSUES EXCEPT FOR FIGHTING CRIME

Do you understand what his approval is underwater ON  ALL ISSUES, except for fighting crime means?  That means his policies.  ALL OF HIS POLICIES except crime.  

Read the poll again.  TRUMP’S POLICIES are supported by the American people. And they are not just crime fighting policies. 

Read MY poll which says his approval is underwater ON  ALL ISSUES, except for fighting crime.

Again your post is about Trump....not about POLICIES.   Read what you posted.   

And the polls on the POLICIES,  most Americans agree.with Trump's positions on those POLICIES.   

All issues means all policies.  I'm done.  You wouldn't admit you're wrong if someone had a gun to your head.

Again, most of the things you posted were about Trump/GOP.  General direction of country etc. Those are not policies/issues.   With Tarriffs and shutdown being the exceptions.  

The polls I posted show just the issues/policies and % of Americans, Dems, Reps, and Inds, that agree the policy/issue positions. This post was edited by my2cents at October 10, 2025 1:57 PM MDT

POLICIES are the foundation for the direction of the country.  You should have learned that in school.

Again your post is just general questions.  (Exceptions of tarriffs and shutdown)...and those cause people to lean more to how they feel towards a politician/party. 

The poll I posted is on specific issues/policies. And as it shows majority of Americans agree with MAGA on policy positions.  

Just on another question about a specific policy,  every user who answered agreed.  I know if is was worded using Trump supports this policy...do you? Most of those users would either ignore the question or find some way to say they disagree.  

This moat recent, even CNN is talking about Trump’s policies being what people voted for...

Thanks for the added details.
Regardless of some of "his" policies with which I can get behind a bit, he as an individual  - constant name-calling, blatant hater of those with whom he disagrees, revenge seeker, (I'll stop there) -- is beyond my vote. I find him revolting as a president and he would probably like that, ha, since he supports fighting, disunity and finger pointing with everyone.
To me,  a president, regardless of policies, needs to act professional. (Prominently putting 'Trump 2028" hats on his desk on the verge of a government potential shutdown is unprofessional to me.) 
And I don't even care if I have TDS - -I've had it before the term was created. I got it before he ever ran for president. And, for me, he's gone downhill ever since.

You might consider talking for him. I find you much more polite. :)

Not the first time I have been told something like that.
I would except the job. But I doubt I will get the job offer. :)

I think as personality,  his actions are not very good. But I am not married to him or even related to him to where his personal actions effect me. So it is all about policies.  

Just as Clinton's behavior in office was something to talk about but it was the policies that he passed that mattered and effected us for years later. Not his having an affair and lying about it under oath. This post was edited by my2cents at October 8, 2025 7:21 PM MDT

Yes, I get your points. I have tried to get beyond Trump himself, and look at his policies - - several times you've helped me research a bit more. But Trump could possibly get more people to his policies if he behaved in a more professional manner

Clinton's famous lying was one time and it was about his private, not public, behavior. I find Trump daily being very, very publicly unprofessional.

Yes, and some of Trump's policies may affect us for years and I don't like it. It happens with all presidents. There will always be people who disagree. (And at a funeral Trump told the world he hates me disagreeing with him.)



:) But, more important to me at the moment, I very much like that I'm not the only one who has mentioned a similar thought about your potential job offer. :)

Clinton's was more than just once and more than just about his affairs...that is just the one that got the most traction and was easiest to prove. And got more people talking cause as anyone in ratings knows sex sells.   But anyway, no need to get into all of that.
Point is his policies hurt the USA and his affairs don't really matter to anyone. 

Well-put. I more understand and get your "policies vs. person" differences.

I also hope that Trump's policies (and, yes, his public behavior) don't hurt the country even more than in ways I see him/his policies hurting the country (i.e.,   having spent most of my working life working with children and adults with special needs, I am much against Trump's administration's layoffs and firings in special education services within the Department of Education).


( I edited my own answer to hopefully make it clearer. )

I think this should belong to a different question.  :)

  Yep.  I noticed it just now.  Think I'll leave it here.. 

For a moment, I thought I was on the wrong post. :)

I think this was meant for WelbyQuentin's CosmicWunderland's question. This post was edited by my2cents at October 9, 2025 7:11 AM MDT
