Israeli Poll Finds 71% No Longer Trust Trump, 92% Convinced Everyone Lost, Including the Winners

JERUSALEM — A shocking new poll has revealed that a growing number of Israelis no longer trust President Donald Trump to protect Israel's interests in negotiations with Iran, marking the first time in modern history that a majority of Israelis have looked at a Middle East peace deal and said, "Wait, this feels like a Middle East peace deal."

According to the survey, 71% of Israelis said they do not trust Trump to look out for Israeli interests in an agreement with Iran. Another 13% said they do trust him, while 16% admitted they had stopped paying attention somewhere around the fifteenth ceasefire announcement.

The numbers represent a sharp decline from just one week ago, when only 62% distrusted Trump. Analysts say the rapid shift suggests Israelis are becoming familiar with the contents of the agreement.

The poll also found widespread pessimism about the outcome of the war itself. Asked how the conflict ended, 43% said Israel lost, 41% said the result was inconclusive, and 11% said Israel won. The remaining respondents reportedly spent several minutes staring into the distance before muttering, "Define 'won.'"

A separate survey found that 52% believe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu harmed Israeli interests in the U.S.-Iran agreement, while 24% said he helped and another 24% said they could no longer distinguish between strategic victories and political press conferences.

The findings represent a dramatic reversal for Trump, who for years enjoyed near-rock-star status among many Israeli voters and was often described by Netanyahu allies as one of the most pro-Israel presidents in American history. Unfortunately, that reputation collided headfirst with a deal involving Iran, which historically has not been a major crowd-pleaser in Israel. 

Apparently Israelis agree with Albert Einstein who said that if you do the same thing over and over [like a peace deal with terrorists] and expect different results, you're crazy.

The agreement, signed this week, establishes a 60-day negotiation period intended to end nearly four months of war and address Iran's nuclear program, missile capabilities, sanctions relief, oil exports, regional ceasefires, and apparently everyone's expectations.

Vice President JD Vance expressed optimism before departing for follow-up talks in Switzerland.

"I think we're going to hopefully make progress on the nuclear issue, make progress on the Lebanon ceasefire issue." He isn't big on Einstein, evidently.

Observers noted that "hopefully" remains the most heavily armed word in international diplomacy.

Trump also defended the agreement while issuing a characteristically subtle warning to Tehran.

"We're going to bomb the hell out of them if they violate the agreement," Trump said. "I don't want them to [violate the agreement]. I want them to honor the agreement."

Political scientists described the statement as a rare example of combining a peace offering and a threat of overwhelming military force into the same sentence.

Meanwhile, a Hebrew University poll found that roughly 92% of Israelis believe Iran benefited more from the conflict than Israel, while only 8% viewed Israel as the winner. Nearly 90% said the war's goals had not been met, and fewer than 30% believed Netanyahu's claims of major achievements.

Experts say these numbers indicate that Israelis are becoming increasingly skeptical of political leaders declaring victory while simultaneously explaining why none of the objectives were achieved.

At press time, Israeli officials were reportedly considering a new strategy that involves winning wars before announcing victory.

Israelis Dig In for Total Victory Against Iran, With or Without the USA

TEL AVIV—Missiles rain down, sirens wail, and Israelis are still shouting from the rooftops: take out Iran’s nuclear program, and don’t stop ‘til it’s done. 

A fresh poll from Agam Labs and Hebrew University lays it bare: 83% of Israeli Jews and 70% of the whole country back the shock-and-awe campaign that kicked off Friday night to gut Iran’s nukes and missiles. Only 1% of Jews and 16% overall are still clinging to the pipe dream of “let’s talk it out” with Tehran. 

Airstrikes are a crowd-pleaser: over 90% are all in for hammering Iran’s nuclear sites, with 54% of Jews and nearly half the public say keep pounding, even if the U.S. and allies stop playing goalie against Iran’s missile barrages. Still, two-thirds call the U.S.-Israel bromance “critical” for survival, and only 30% would tell Trump to shove it if he pushed for a deal to end the war. 

The poll, which questioned 1,057 Israelis Sunday and Monday with a 4.2% margin of error, screams one thing: Israel’s ready to go solo if it means neutralizing Iran’s existential threat—but they’d rather not.

“There’s a rock-solid consensus: we had to hit Iran, and we ain’t stopping,” says Nimrod Nir, Agam Labs’ head honcho. “Half the country’s ready to keep swinging without U.S. backup, even if they’re not sure we can seal the deal alone.”

Netanyahu’s out here projecting incredible energy, saying Israel can handle its business without help. But whispers from the brass admit only U.S. bunker-busters can truly turn Iran’s nuke dreams into rubble. They’re begging Trump for the heavy artillery, like bunker-busters, for example.

This war’s been a gut-punch. Iran’s ballistic missiles and drones have killed to date 24, wounded hundreds, displaced thousands, and turned daily life into a nightmare. Schools have been shuttered, businesses tanking, yet, Israelis aren’t cowering. The poll says pride and hope are outmuscling fear and despair two-to-one. The air force [IAF] and Mossad are gods right now, with “very high” trust, while the military and emergency crews aren’t far behind.

Bar Shalev Nathan, a 34-year-old marketing analyst from Tzofim in the West Bank, is living the war’s grind. She’s hunkered down in a public shelter with her husband, three kids, and four other families, hot, buggy, sleeping on thin mattresses. “I really don’t mind spending another 30 or 60 nights sleeping on the floor in a shelter, if this means we will eliminate the Iranian threat,” she says, steely-eyed. “I’m not hopeful. I’m confident. I’m so sure we’ve got this, and it’s going to be sweet in the end.”

Military leaders are talking a week or two to crush Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Yuval Shamir, a 35-year-old Tel Aviv engineer, shrugs off Iran’s retaliation as weak sauce, even with two missiles hitting near his place. Mid-siren, he doubles down: “It doesn’t matter how many of us they kill now. If we let them get the bomb, they will kill us all.”

The poll splits down the middle on whether the endgame’s total victory or a beefier diplomatic deal, and if Israel can finish Iran’s nukes without Uncle Sam. But with the stakes this high, most say there’s no choice but to try. Another poll from the Israel Democracy Institute backs this up: 69% of Jews and 63% overall say Israel was right to pull the trigger, even knowing the U.S. might be needed to close the deal.

Shalev Nathan’s not mincing words: “Eliminate all the ballistic missile capability that Iran currently has, and of course, demolish every part of the nuclear program.” Or, as she puts it, quoting Trump, Iran could opt for “unconditional surrender.” She’s bullish: “I think we can definitely succeed even without U.S. help. It will be much harder and probably take much longer, but we can and we definitely should do it.”

Shamir’s got no time for naysayers saying Israel can’t crack Iran’s fortified sites like Fordow. “We have ways to do it ourselves, even if it takes many bombs or soldiers on the ground,” he says. “I’m sure we have a plan.”

But Eyal Barad, a 42-year-old engineer from Kiryat Gat, isn’t so sure. He doubts Israel can breach Fordow without U.S. bunker-busters. Worse, he’s betting Iran’s mullahs will rebuild their nuke program, deal or no deal. Only regime change—something Israel’s starting to cozy up to—might stop Iran’s “genocidal crusade” against the Jewish state. “Changing the regime in a different country usually doesn’t end well,” Barad admits. “But if we leave the regime in place, we will only have succeeded to hurt their pride, and five years from now, they will attack us without warning.”

Barad has skin in the game. He lived in Kibbutz Nir Oz, one of the hardest-hit spots in Hamas’s October 7, 2023, slaughter, backed by Iran’s cash. That day taught him tolerating enemies is a losing bet. He hopes crushing Iran weakens Hamas enough to free the remaining hostages—four from his old kibbutz—and end the Gaza war. The poll says 75% of Israelis want that deal, a softer stance than their hawkish vibe on Iran.

“There’s no need to keep fighting in Gaza,” Barad says. “Just finish it, especially now that it looks like the Iranians will not be able to continue backing and funding Hamas. It will be harder for Hamas to get stronger again.”

 
Israelis are riding a wave of defiance, ready to take on Iran alone if they must. But the shadow of U.S. support, or its absence, looms large. They’re betting on victory, and they’re not blinking. 

Am Yisrael Chai.

Poll: Most Americans don't believe Democrats' attempts to jail Trump

A recent poll by McLaughlin and Associates revealed that most respondents believe alleged President Joe Biden is using the justice system against former President Trump to skew the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. The poll didn't only survey Republicans, but included Democrats and Independent votes too. Everyone is beginning to see through the scam being perpetrated by the left.

The poll was shared with Secrets on Wednesday and found that 56% of respondents believe that “Joe Biden wants to stop President Trump from winning the election by putting him in jail.” Some 30%, or those with low IQs disagreed.

Republicans, 86% to 8%, agreed, as did independent voters, 50% to 33%. But so did many Democrats — 32% agreed to 48% who didn’t. 

Voters also believed that Biden was personally involved in playing a major role in driving the investigations of Trump. Fully 58% said that Babbling Biden played a role, and of these voters, 40% said Biden's role was "major."

This does not look good for Biden, but then again, Biden does not look good for Biden. It seems that he couldn't find his butt with both hands and a map.

But worse, this survey shows that most Americans believe Biden and his cronies at the federal and state levels of government, are actively engaged in a wholesale effort to imprison a political opponent to increase a barely sentient Biden's chances of winning a reelection.

Poll: Most Americans affirm Israel's war motives against Hamas: less experienced Americans, not so much

A Pew Research Center found that most Americans, 58%, stand behind Israel's reason for fighting the terrorist group Hamas after they attacked the Jewish State on October 7, 2023, killing over 1,200, kidnapped 253 people, and performed barbarous acts on Israelis. 

But 34% of respondents say that Israel's conduct in preventing Hamas from killing them all is unacceptable, while 38% support Israel's response to Hamas' efforts to kill them all. The remaining 26% never heard of Israel or Hamas and live with their parents.

The survey found that 22% of respondents say the Hamasshole's reasons for killing Jews are valid, and 5% say Hamas' October 7 attack was acceptable because they see no problem with rape, mutilation, torture beheading and burning women, children, babies, and men because the victims were, you know, Jews.

Respondents under 30 years old are significantly more critical of how Israel defending itself because they cannot comprehend anything that contradicts what their woke teachers have told them.

Forty-six percent of older Americans described what Hamas did as unacceptable, including 32% finding it completely unacceptable.

More results show that 31% of respondents sympathize fully, or mostly with Israelis, while 16% sympathize entirely or mostly with the anti0-Semitic Palestinians, and 26% say they sympathize with both sides equally because their moral compass is broken, while 18% don't know how to boil water.

Eight percent of Americans have a favorable view of the terrorists, compared to 84% who do not like Hamassholes, and 23% of low information Americans have a favorable view of the Palestinian Authority.

Half of Americans favor sending humanitarian aid to Gaza, unlike what the US did not do for Japan after we bombed Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

Thirty-six percent favor the US sending military aid to Israel while 34% would like to see Israel lose the war.

Finally, Sen. Chuck Schumer would like Israel to hold elections to get Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu out of office, but Israel isn't influenced by anyone telling them how to run their own country.

POLL: Hamas and Gazans, same old, same old mindset

A poll taken Wednesday, March 20, was released by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research. It finds declining levels of support for Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Judea Samaria [aka the West Bank]. However, the percentage of those who support terrorism and the October 7 massacre of Israelis, saying it was "correct" is basically unchanged.

The survey shows that more than 7 out of 10 Gazans and the West Bank (71%) support the barbaric Oct. 7 murders, rapes, mutilation, torture and burning of Jewish women, children, babies and men, in the attack that killed over 1,200 people and kidnapped 253 others. Back in December, the support for this barbarism was 72%. a full 1% higher--virtually the same if you understand statistics. 

While the overall figure remained steady, support for atrocities increased from 57% to 71% in Gaza the past three months and dipped from 82% to 71% in the West Bank.

In addition to supporting the terrorist group, respondents gave high marks to the senior Hamasshole in Gaza Yahya Sinwar regarding his conduct in the war, with 61% approving. This was down from 69% in December, but that's still a significant number of scumbags who want genocide of the Jews while pretending it's the other way around.

Yahya Sinwar

When asked who Palestinians would vote for [if they actually had elections] if elections were held today, a plurality of 30% still say Hamas, while 14% would vote for Palestinian Authority President and Holocaust denier, Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement. Six percent say they'll back a third party and 36% say they won't vote.

So far, Sen. Chuck Schumer nor any Democrat has asked the Palestinians to not vote for Hamas or Fatah, although the senator from New York voiced his strong opinion to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voted out of office, even while Israelis support him in his war efforts and Schumer is not in a position to tell the democratic Jewish State what to do.

Sen. Kennedy calls out Kamala Harris for what she is: DNC fires back

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) explained on Tuesday how American voters feel about Democratic Vice President Kamala Hahaharris. Speaking to Martha MacCallum, host of "The Story" on Fox News, the Senator cited recent polls that show a very high disapproval rating for both Harris and the so called President Joe Biden.

"I'm not saying that this is accurate, but I can read a poll, and the American people have concluded that President Biden is old, and he needs soup and an early bedtime," Sen. Kennedy said.

"They have concluded that Vice President Harris is not capable — that when her IQ gets to 75, she should sell," he continued. "Again, I'm not saying that's fair or accurate, but that's the conclusion today that the American people have reached. They’re pretty disgusted."

The dig at Harris’ obvious lack of intelligence prompted responses on X from White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates and Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison.

Bates in an attempt to sound like the down-home wisdom of Sen. Kennedy wrote on Tuesday, "Shameful and undignified comments like these from [Kennedy] start a fire sale on one’s credibility." 

Then Harrison also tried to get into the act with the following ad hominem knee-slapper: "Bless his heart. [G]uess Senator Foghorn is a bit upset that our VP has done more for the working families of Louisiana than he has done over the entirety of his unproductive senate career."

During his appearance on Fox Tuesday, the senator argued that the Biden administration "has embraced the neo-socialist, woke wing, loon wing of the Democratic Party. I mean, just look around. The American people might be poorer under President Biden, but they're not stupid.

"They see an open border. They experience inflation. They see the rampant crime," he said. "The American people look around and see the world on fire — the war in Ukraine, the war in the Middle East, the embers smoldering in China — and they have concluded that, fair or unfair."

During an interview with CNN on Sunday, Harris responded to several of polls showing former President Donald Trump was ahead of President Biden in hypothetical election match-ups, as well as in battleground states. For an incumbent president, this is unheard of and shows that Kennedy is absolutely correct in his assessment of the clowns in charge.

"We’re going to have to earn our re-elect, there’s no doubt about it," Harris said without going into a fit of unchained laughter.

"It is absolutely right in a democracy with free and fair elections that the candidates, the people who want to continue in leadership have to make their case, and have to make it effectively," she continued. "And that means communicating in such a way that the message is received about the accomplishments and what we care about."

Yes. When it comes to communicating clearly, Kamala Hahaharris is the expert as the video below elucidates:

According to the RealClearPolitics national average of polls, Harris has a 54.6% unfavorable rating, compared to 36.5% favorable, while Biden has a 55.5% unfavorable rating, compared to 40.6% favorable.

Biden less popular than least popular governor, Harris less popular than scabies

Nine of ten most popular governors in the USA are Republicans and Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont, a Democrat is the only one on the left to make the top ten, according to a recent Morning Consult poll. Not surprisingly, President Biden's approval rating is lower than the nation's least popular governor, but Kamala Harris' approval ratings are at a historical low--lower than ever recorded in American history.

The most popular governor in America is Phil Scott (R-VT) who holds a 71% approval rating.

Here is the list of governors in order of popularity from one to ten includes: 

Scott, Charlie Baker of Massachusetts, Larry Hogan of Maryland, Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, Mark Gordon of Wyoming, Jim Justice of West Virginia, Lamont, Kay Ivey of Alabama, Mike DeWine of Ohio, and Spencer Cox of Utah.

At the bottom of the list, that is, the least popular governors were:

Rounding out the bottom as the least popular governors list were 

Democrat Kate Brown in Oregon, Republican Doug Ducey in Arizona, and Democrat David Ige of Hawaii.

 The Execrable Gov. Brown

Brown’s last place approval rating of 43%, a totally suck-worthy position, was still seven points higher than Biden’s approval rating in a recent Quinnipiac poll and is head and shoulders above Harris' abysmal number of 28%.

Those questioned in the poll said they'd want to see the GOP win control of the House in the midterms were held today, by a margin of 46% TP 38% with 16% oblivious as to who the president is and what is a political party.

In terms of the Senate, the GOP wins again 46% to 40% wanting Republicans to win a majority, with 15% of respondents too busy watching things move on their phones and did not want to offer an opinion in case the government was listening.

Scabies

With the midterms less than a year away, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas for Republicans and a dim future for the Party of the KKK. 

But for President Biden, it's looking like ice cream and "gahominahin zerbag hutmah."

The recent results of the poll, which was conducted Nov. 11-Nov.15, comes just days after an ABC News/Washington Post survey depicted a 10-point Republican advantage over socialism.

Kamala Hahahaharris approval rating goes south in latest poll

Hahahaharris hiding her lips 

Vice President Kamala Harris' (D) approval rating has gone negative as measured in the recent Morning Consult-Politico poll released Wednesday. This comes after she made her perfunctory trip to the border, about 800 miles from the epicenter of the border crisis. 

The poll results show that more Americans view the cackling leftist unfavorably than those who approve of whatever it is she is doing at her job.

A bare 45% of registered voters polled said they have a favorable view of Harris, while 47% said they have an unfavorable view of the Democrat, for a negative net rating of 2 percentage points. It's not known the percentages of Democrats vs. Republicans who populated the poll, but if he negative net rating was only 2 percent under water, it's likely that more Democrats were polled because normal folks know incompetence when they see it.

President Biden did much better than Harris in the poll, which indicates that voters who took the poll were primarily either Democrats or special needs voters, but I repeat myself. Biden is out to lunch--he's as sentient as a rock and anyone who would still vote for him, or view him favorably as president, is as bright as a black hole.

While 45% of registered voters said they have an unfavorable view of Biden, 52% [mostly leftists] said they have a favorable view of the president, for a positive net rating of 7 percentage points.

Harris has gotten toasted under the spotlight after Biden put her in charge of dealing with the increasing crisis at the southern border. Harris faced fierce criticism from the right after she made excuses for not visiting the border, and then, speaking through her nose, claimed that her visit to the border had been scheduled for a long, long time, as in dog time.

The newest poll found that Harris was slightly more favored by males hoping to score like Willie Brown, than by females and much more favored by young, low-information people than by older, informed people.

Poll: Biden in the Iowa dumper in his approval rating

According to a new Iowa poll, co-President Biden's approval rating is slightly better than genital warts, but not by much. The voters in the state are not impressed with how he is handling even the simplest of sentences, much less other issues.

Overall, Biden's approval rating is 43%, and those people comprise the population who only watch CNN and MSNBC. His disapproval rating, which seems way too low, is 52%, according to the Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa poll. And 5% of people polled said they have no idea what to think and "please leave me alone."

Co-President [aka Vice President] Kamala Hahahaharris also had similar crappy approval numbers to the surprise of intelligent conservatives who wondered why her disapproval didn't peg the meter at 100%. She received 50% disapproval and 42% who hallucinate on a regular basis and believe she's doing a crackerjack job. Hahahaha.

When it comes to Republicans versus Democrats in Iowa, the results are galaxies apart. Eighty-nine percent of barely sentient Democrats approve of the house plant leading the nation while a mere 6% of Republicans approve due to their failure to reorder their psychotropic medications.

In March, before anyone actually followed what Biden was doing rather than saying, his numbers in Iowa were significantly better. His approval rating was 47% and disapproval 44%.

Iowans trust Biden more on issues such as coronavirus due to his inheriting the vaccine from the previous administration, and also trust his handling of infrastructure, before they realized that he defined it as everything from toilet paper to tooth decay with maybe some roads and bridges thrown in. They did not trust him on criminal justice because he fails to concern himself with victim justice. And immigration? Don't get me started. He only received 29% approval on immigration and those votes came from illegal immigrants who illegally voted.

A national poll in May indicated that most Americans are oblivious to what is going on in the nation and the world and thus approved of Biden's performance at 63% approved and 36% who disapproved.

The Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll consisted of 807 Iowa adults [but not necessarily "likely voters"] and was conducted June 13 to 16. It has a margin of error at 3.5 percent.

Joe Biden is his own margin of error.

Fox Poll: Capitalism destroys Socialism

"I want your pudding"

According to a recent Fox News poll of registered voters, capitalism is significantly more popular than socialism. The poll also finds economic optimism high, and the number wanting the government to be their mommy is the lowest in years.

The new poll, released Wednesday, asks what message voters want to send to the federal government. Over half would say “leave me alone.” About a third would ask the government to “lend me a hand.”

The 34 percent saying “lend me a hand” is down from 41 percent last year and 39 percent in 2016. This may be due to people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez displaying such a breathtakingly stupid stance on the economy that voters have come to terms with the evils of communism and socialism.

The 55 percent who would tell the government “leave me alone” is up from 51 percent in 2018 and 54 percent in 2016, proving that people can grow up after all.

Fifty-seven percent of voters have a positive opinion of the free market, because it works. That’s more than twice the number of envious folks who feel the same about socialism (25 percent). Some of the groups most likely to have a favorable view of socialism include self-identified liberals (50 percent), Clinton voters (43 percent), and those under age 30 (36 percent) who want the government to give them free stuff off the labor of others.

“Despite the prominence of socialistic ideas and policy proposals in recent weeks, Americans are favorable toward the merits of the capitalistic system,” says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts the Fox News Poll with Democrat Chris Anderson. “And they’re bullish on the state of the economy.”

Nearly four out of five voters feel their family either achieved the American Dream (38 percent), or is on the way toward achieving it (40 percent). One in five believes the dream is out of reach (18 percent) because their level of self-confidence is in the toilet and that's how they see their future unless they can get someone else to pay their way.

Sixty-three percent feel optimistic about the economy. Optimism stood at 49 percent in 2016, but somehow, that isn't Trump's doing, according to the left.

By a 47-42 percent margin, voters think capitalism in the U.S. gives them a “fair shot.”

However, men (58 percent) are 21 points more likely than women (37 percent) to say capitalism is a level playing field. This may be due to the growth of far-left men who identify as women or far-left women who believe it's up to the rich to take care of them.

Similarly, whites (52 percent) are 19 points more likely than nonwhites (33 percent), and voters ages 45 and over (54 percent) are 17 points more inclined than those with "Daddy Issues" under age 45 (37 percent) to feel they are getting a fair deal.

For more, go to the Fox News poll and draw your own conclusions about the influence of socialism in the country and how people are beginning to realize that working for their own life and that of their own family is more moral than asking someone else to pay for it.

I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.

60 percent of French population don't feel safe anywhere

The majority of French people aren't trusting of their nation's security situation with a full 60 percent saying they no longer feel safe anywhere. 

In a IFOP-FIDUCIAL poll, it found that 93 percent of the French believe the threat of future terror attacks is high; and 71 percent feel that security in France has worsened over the last five years.

Broadly speaking, 59 percent said they didn't feel safe anywhere, with about 24 percent saying they "strongly agree" with the statement.

The survey also discussed security measures and it found that 69 percent believe the police and gendarmerie are understaffed. It also found that the French overwhelmingly have a positive view of law enforcement.

A small majority (55 percent) wold like France out of the European Union's open borders Schengen zone.

A majority of French nationals (fully 88 percent) believe France should deport foreigners sentenced to prison for serious crimes, and 84 percent want the increase in prison places.

The French found Marine Le Pen to be judged the candidate with the best policies in keeping people and property safe (32 percent) and in the fight against Islamic extremism (35 percent).

With the loss of Geert Wilders for Prime Minister of the Netherlands, and his strong stance on Islamic terrorism, it appears that people have gone back to the thinking of 9-10, not 9-11. If France has not gone back, Le Pen has an excellent chance of winning the election.

Most voters hopeful about Trump but don't expect miracles

Now that the election is over, polls have shown that as many American voters feel hopeful about have Donald Trump as President as they feel depressed that he won. More feel relieved than feel scared. Some are even feeling empowered and excited.

But some feel angry or embarrassed.

These results comes from a FoxNews survey showing that over a third of voters have a positive outlook for Trump. In fact, 25 percent believe he'll be "above average: and 11 percent say he'll be one of the country's "greatest."

This is why the average person who votes is not used as a pundit, but merely as a statistic. In fact, to press this point, when Obama won the election in 2008, 19 percent said he'd be one of the greatest presidents every; 43 percent said he'd be "good" and only 6 percent expected him to be one of the worst.

See? Fully 94 percent of the voting population had no clue how bad Obama would be as president.
