Botany (66,841 posts)

I call straight out bullshit on the national poll that MSNBC/Steve Kornacki just posted

35% of all Americans are most concerned about the economy and inflation ... which favors republicans by
something like 65% of who can handle those problems the best

But only 9% see abortion as their top issue.

Look I am nuttier than a squirrel turd and dumber then a bag of mulch but I don't buy those #s for 1 second.

People please pay no attention to these polls because I think they are being manipulated by the PTB and to
make it seem like the republicans got this in the bag.
