People don't need to be told a lot about the cost of living, they experience it first hand. But what Trump, Miller, Noem, and Homan are doing to peaceful immigrants has to be in the news, for people to know what's going on. We don't know if any of the people who have been disappeared were violent criminals. We would, if there had been due process. ICE wants $46 billion more, and it looks like a scam, building an unaccountable police force to pick up brown people with tattoos, or students who said something that scared Rubio claims harms our foreign policy.
However, does he seek a reversal? Will KAG be returned? If he's returned, what events will unfold? Is there a possibility to recover from this, or has he damaged the foundation of his immigration policy (both rationale and for voters)? That would be interesting to know.
Best point in this short piece (among several): "Public opinion is malleable!" So, Ds and other progressive politicians don't have to merely suss out and follow public opinion; they can shape it.
Second best point: topline/summary polling questions can obscure more granular opinions that may be significantly or even entirely contrary to respondents' topline answers. E.g., public opinion on Trump's immigration position/performance, and public opinion on more specific Trump immigration decisions and actions.
This is why I say to like-minded friends not to just call people idiots if they don't agree with their perspective. Most people don't have fully-formed opinions on most issues, and so educating them on the issue can work, or at least soften their opinion.
I like to say, I've never once brought anyone over to my way of thinking by insulting them.
"the two main issues voters elected him to address"
The voters elected him to "address" inflicting pain and suffering on non-YT people, including "mass deportations" and implement a "small government" that doesn't give "handouts" to "welfare queens". As it turns out, they largely fucked themselves in the ass with no lube. The unfortunate part is that we all get raped with them, and America is now diminished, hated and mocked around the world.

I dislike Carville but he is right its the economy stupid Dems need to talk in feeling terms .
Again, this is encouraging.

Thank you. More good information and quality work

Have I got those right, GEM?

Ultimately the topline view is what translates into a vote, I think.
Right, but the point is you can shape the topline opinion by shaping the granular opinions.
I guess you're right. Maybe that's why the nazis tickle their voters non-stop with blogs, faux news, tweets etc
