Even if you look past his creep vibes, Trump picking Vance when he is so attached to the people behind Project 2025 was a huge own goal. He offers no electoral help but lots of liability. Especially as Pence was a strategic choice practically pushed onto the ticket by the party to keep evangelicals in line. Because you have to remember while those voters have fully drunk the kool-aid since 2016, back then they were more split with Cruz being their candidate in the primary.
Trump’s efforts to distance himself from it have resulted in the Republican base distancing themselves from it. This could change overnight if he changes his tune, but I would only expect an increase in positivity rather than a substantial drop in negativity.
Survey says 18% have a positive image of socialism.
About 17% of the workforce is government employees.
In a sane world, there would be nearly 100% overlap between those two groups. But I’ll bet its actually much smaller.
What’s the source of this poll?
I think that the fact that according to this poll, 57% of people know enough about project 2025 to have a negative opinion on it is a messaging win, although it’s unclear how much of this is because of Trump trying to distance himself from it
