A new poll out by NBC News shows that voters trust Republicans more on topline issues like securing the border, crime and the economy. And it isn’t just a little more. Republicans scored very strong on these issues.
Voters no longer trust Democrats on these big issues and, after watching how Democrats have run their cities and this country, its obvious why.
Here’s more on the new poll:
Voters overwhelmingly say they trust Republicans to do a better job than Democrats dealing with border security, crime, the economy and immigration, a new national NBC News poll finds.
Republicans have advantages on the issues with the widest margins — dealing with border security and with crime.
That includes 50% of registered voters surveyed who said the Republican Party is better at dealing with border security, compared to 20% of voters who picked the Democratic Party.
And 46% of those polled say they see Republicans as better at dealing with crime, while just 20% said Democrats are.
“Looking out for the middle class”
NBC News’ pollsters flagged an alarming trend for Democrats on one particular issue — looking out for the middle class.
The survey found that 34% of voters believe Republicans are better at looking out for the middle class, while 36% say the same of Democrats. The 2-point margin in favor of Democrats is the lowest it has been in the history of the poll.
“The Democrats … have held over 30 years as high as a 29-point advantage as being the party better able to deal with and handle issues of concern to the middle class,” McInturff said.
In October 2018, the last time an NBC News poll measured this question, voters gave Democrats an 8-point advantage.
“As you talk about what’s the demonstrable proof that the Democrats are no longer as strongly positioned as the party of the middle class, it’s watching … a 19-point lead [in 2012] evaporate to 2 points” today, McInturff added.
Here’s the skinny on the poll:
The national NBC News poll — conducted Sept. 15-19 of 1,000 registered voters, including 848 contacted by cellphone — has an overall margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
The liberal brainwashing is still deep among voters because they scored Democrats better on issues like abortion, health care, COVID-19 and education. Even so, this poll is surely good news for Republicans looking to win big in 2024 after what happened in 2022.
