Political Updates and Public Opinion Survey Results

Political Updates and Public Opinion Survey Results

 

The past week in Politics has been one of the most stressful and divisive in America . In this blog, we will go over results from our recent survey where we asked over 2500 Tellwut members their opinions on the recent political news.

 

Biden's Solo News Conference: A Mixed Performance

Last Thursday, President Joe Biden participated in a solo news conference with the White House press corps, an event he had not faced earlier this year. During the session, he made some significant errors, mistakenly referring to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as "President Putin" and calling Kamala Harris "Vice President Trump" in response to a reporter's question. Despite these mistakes, Biden offered comprehensive answers about his work to maintain NATO and detailed his vision for a second term. He also asserted his commitment to staying in the race, even as more Democratic lawmakers call for him to step down.

 

Tellwut member sdouglass commented "Biden also quickly corrected himself when he addressed Zeleskyy as Putin and that should be noted. I didn't see the Orange Convict doing the same with "Tim Apple" or when he addressed Nikki Haley as Nancy Pelosi or correcting himself the numerous times when said he was running against Obama. They're both old so get over it. The difference is one is old, a good man, intelligent, and loves this country whereas the other is old, an evil bast*rd, ignorant, and loves himself." while grillo.linda47 commented something similar, saying "Why is the outcome of the debate only focused on Joe Biden? What about all the lies uttered by Trump. No one seems to mention that part of the debate. I would much more prefer Biden than a lying, cheating felon like Trump. People only see & hear what they want. Democracy will be gone if Trumper is elected. God help us all!!!"

 

Public Opinion on Biden's Future

In a survey of over 2,500 Tellwut members, opinions were divided on whether Biden should step aside:

  • 50% said yes
  • 30% said no
  • 20% were undecided

 

Tellwut member Melv commented "Still hoping Biden will step back and let someone young and dynamic run. I know it's a long shot."

 

Trump's Assassination Attempt and Public Reaction

Former US President Donald Trump is recuperating after being shot and injured during a political campaign event in Pennsylvania on Saturday. The suspected shooter was fatally shot by the Secret Service. The FBI has identified the gunman as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. Federal authorities are currently investigating the motive behind the attack.

In the wake of the assassination attempt, social media was abuzz with claims that the event was "staged." An analysis by the Israeli tech firm Cyabra revealed that 45% of the accounts using hashtags such as #fakeassassination and #stagedshooting were inauthentic.

 

Public Opinion on the Assassination Attempt

When asked if they believed the shooting was staged, the responses were:

  • 30% said yes
  • 70% said no
 
Praplechaos comments "I think there is something very fishy going on with the timing of his so - called assassination attempt. I'd say the word staged comes to mind" and Brewster55 comments "As to whether the shooting of Trump was staged, while I highly doubt it the timing of it does look suspicious. The authorities have been unable to find, so far, any reason for this young white registered republican male to do what he did. No history of mental illness, no affiliations with any terroist organizations, no secret manifestos,etc. They media does seem to be fixated on the fact that he did donate $15 to a liberal democratic organization in the past which could be reason enough to try and shoot Trump."
 

Concerns About Future Assassination Attempts

Respondents were also asked if they thought there would be more assassination attempts on Trump and possibly Biden before the election:

  • 24% said yes for Trump
  • 4% said yes for Biden
  • 25% said yes for both
  • 47% said no for both

 

Judge Dismisses Trump Classified Documents Case

Florida-based U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the criminal case accusing Donald Trump of illegally holding onto classified documents. Cannon ruled that special counsel Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed and did not have the authority to bring the case. Trump was accused of storing sensitive national security documents haphazardly at his Mar-a-Lago estate and possibly at another New Jersey property. Prosecutors are expected to appeal or refile the charges in D.C.

 

Public Opinion on Judge's Decision

In response to whether the judge was right to dismiss the case:

  • 32% said yes
  • 50% said no
  • 19% were undecided

 

scouthoward comments "Cannon followed the roadmap that Clarence Thomas laid out in the recent SCOTUS absolute immunity ruling farce. I expect the 11th circuit to replace her on Jack Smith's appeal. She did her part for Trump to delay the trial until after the election. She was never, ever qualified to be a federal judge to begin with."

 

Trump Selects J.D. Vance as Running Mate

Donald Trump announced Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio as his presidential running mate, ending months of speculation. Trump praised Vance's talents and suitability for the role of Vice President.

 

Public Opinion on Vance as VP Pick

When asked if Vance is a good pick for VP:

  • 28% said yes
  • 30% said no
  • 42% were undecided

 

Member UpstateSC comments "If Bill Kristol, Mitt Romney, Karl Rove, David Frum, Rupart Murdoch, Dan McLaughlin, John Bolton, and the other warmongers are opposed to JD Vance, he is a good choice. JD Vance is certainly not a fraud or degenerate or white nationalist. The Establishment hates him because he is smart, articulate, aggressive, and can get things done." and keepitreal says "Yes JD Vance is a good choice for VP since he is young, highly intelligent and accomplished and fully supports Donald Trump's Populist Republican agenda. I'm confident that he will prove himself worthy of this position and he will go on to serve as President from 2029 until 2037." scouthoward disagrees, saying "JD Vance is a right-wing extremist, a white nationalist and a fraud. He's possibly more of a degenerate than Trump. He was no more a hillbilly than I am or most of you are. America will have a stark choice this November of good versus evil. Biden and Harris versus the unfit, evil pair of Trump and Vance."

 

Current Voting Preferences

If the election were held today, respondents indicated their voting preferences as follows:

  • 41% would vote for Trump
  • 41% would vote for Biden
  • 11% would vote for someone else
  • 7% would choose not to vote

 

joan.misch comments "How can so many vote for a person who has a cognitive problem that will only get worse with Time.A person who has made the country unsafe and take the money from working people to support millions of illegal immigrants.Biden lies and only cares about himself and he is the one who is destroying Democracy." while karylwood says " I will vote for Biden or whoever else runs on the Democrat ticket, because God help us all if Trump wins the Presidency."

 

These survey results provide a snapshot of current public opinion on key political figures and events. As the political landscape continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how these opinions shift over time.
