   Trump gets middling grades on Americans' top issues, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds by Reuters (Feb 23, 2025)
   https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump- … 025-02-23/
   
   "Summary
   
   ** Americans prioritize economy over Trump's Gulf of Mexico renaming and Gaza plan
   ** Fighting inflation is a big motivator for 58% of survey respondents, but 32% approve of Trump's performance on prices
   ** Musk-led federal spending cuts are also important for voters, but many oppose endeavor
   
   "The poll, conducted February 13-18, asked more than 4,000 U.S. adults nationwide whether they supported a range of positions staked out by Trump and how much the issues would motivate them to vote in the future. The results point to Trump putting considerable effort into policies that many Americans don't like, or don't consider very important."

      All just my view
      
      Trump could solve every problem—world hunger, war, you name it—and his polls would never be spectacular. To me, that doesn’t say much about Trump, but it sure says a lot about our society
      
      I found the Where American Stand Poll interesting looks like others are moving toward Trump's agenda. This gives me hope for our society.

   I'm expecting to see a further dip in the coming days. Musk and Trump  had an awful week.  Stock market is in the trash, their voters are all over X whining and crying because  they lost their civil service jobs they thought were safe as followers.   Musk is calling people retarded, threatening to fire federal employees who don't respond to an email,  Town Halls hosted by Republicans are overflowing with angry constituents.  Bernie Sanders is on a "fighting oligarchy" tour and also drawing overflow crowds in places like Nebraska.   People are increasingly unhappy.  Turns out that people didn't vote for chaos and confusion.

      Market fell for two straight days, definitely making it "in the trash".  It should rise every day of the year, at least 1/4 point per day, for a yearly increase of 65% (plus results of compounding), right? 
      
      But to fall for two straight days...well, the sky will surely fall.

            About $2,000.  I expect to regain it next week.
