The majority of Americans tend to agree with Democrats on top issues, polling shows

When it comes to considering the top political issues facing the country -- immigration, health care and gun control among them -- politicians in Congress can give the impression that the public is hopelessly divided on policy solutions.

In reality, the polling shows the majority of the public usually backs policy positions preferred by the Democratic Party.

A new Gallup poll released Thursday showed that two-thirds of Americans said protecting the environment should be a higher priority than economic growth and only three-in-10 who said economic growth should be given priority, even if the environment suffers to some extent. This is the highest prioritizing of the environment since spring 2000.

under “Bottom Line” for the Gallup poll it says:

With the U.S. unemployment rate holding at or below 4% for much of the past year, Americans are less likely to prioritize economic growth over environmental protection. While the two goals don’t always conflict, to the extent they do, it appears that now is a good time to promote aggressive climate legislation such as the Green New Deal being discussed in Congress, as most Americans are currently willing to accept some economic costs.

HOW RIDICULOUS. FUNNY THING IS CNN PUT OUT THEIR OWN POLL RECENTLY (WITH PLENTY OF NEGS FOR THE PRESIDENT) HOWEVER:

18 March: CNN Poll: 7 in 10 say economy in good shape — and Trump may reap the benefits
By Jennifer Agiesta
Americans give the nation’s economy glowing reviews in a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS, and Donald Trump’s approval rating may be reaping the benefits.
Overall, 71% say the nation’s economy is in good shape, the highest share to say so since February 2001, and the best rating during Trump’s presidency by two points. A majority give the President positive reviews for his handling of the nation’s economy (51% approve)...
About 7 in 10 Americans in the poll say they have more trust in the free market than in the government, up a bit from roughly two-thirds who said so in 2011...

Hurrah. I hate, hate, hate when people attack a woman’s opinion because they decide she is not up to their standard of beauty. Whether an idea has merit does not depend on the looks of the person expressing it.
