Poll Shows Most Americans Agree Republicans Don't Care About Them

A new poll from CNN has found that nearly three-quarters of the American public believe that Republicans in Washington, D.C. aren't focused on important issues right now. To put it another way - voters agree that Republicans don't care about them. This may sound like an oversimplification of the data, but that's really what it means. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses these poll results.

Recent polling conducted by CNN shows that nearly three quarters, almost 75% of the American public, believes that the Republican Party does not give a about the issues that are actually important to the voters. Only 27% according to the report of US adults, say they think Republican leaders in the house have had the right priority so far, while 73% say they haven't paid enough attention to the country's most important problems. 42% of Republicans and Republican leaning independents, disapprove of their parties, congressional leaders, nearly half of Republicans and Republican leaning independence, 46% also say their party's house leadership hasn't displayed the right priorities. So this poll is deeper than just, Hey, three quarters of the country says you don't care about the issues that I care about. Which means, as I said, you don't care about me. Half of the Republican voters in this country say they're not doing the things we need them to do.

They're not taking care of the things that are a priority to me. So not surprising that you've got three quarters of the public saying it. Very surprising that you have half of the Republican electorate saying, these folks we just sent there, you're not cutting it. Here's where things get even more interesting, right? Because we gotta look at what do these voters want? What do they want the country? Uh, what do they want politicians to do? As CNN says, asked to name the most important issue facing the country. Nearly half, 48% of Americans cite economic issues, particularly related to the effects of inflation on housing, food, and gas prices. Other top concerns include immigration at 11%, gun violence and crime at 6%, government spending and taxes at 6%, and political divisions or extremism at 5%. And I think it's safe to say that Republicans are doing absolutely nothing about any of those things.

Now, on the immigration front, of course, republicans like to pretend they're doing something about it. They love to talk about it, but when it comes time to actually do something, they never do anything because their corporate masters don't want them to do anything because they love the cheap later labor coming across the southern border. So that's why you'll never see any real action on immigration. Uh, definitely not from the Republicans. But other than that, economic issues, inflation, Republicans campaigned on that all last year. Like, oh, look at all the horrible things that are happening under Biden's America. He's destroying the country with inflation, with gas prices. Then the election came and all of that disappeared. No more talking about it. Instead, Republicans in Washington DC are focused on stupid things like nonstop investigations into Hunter Biden, hunter Biden's, laptop Hunter Biden's artwork. They're looking at other

Stupid things like, we're gonna investigate Covid, how about you investigate how your party did nothing about it and let nearly a million Americans die from it. I know we're over a million now, but you know, almost hit a million while Republicans were in charge of things. Other than that, they're not focusing on real issues the Americans care about. They wanna abolish the I R S and implement a 30% flat tax that's going to crush the middle working class here in the United States. And the voters are paying attention and the voters aren't happy. Now, we haven't even had this new Republican Congress for a full month yet, so these numbers will change. But if they don't or if they stay this bad or get worse
