TRUMP STATISTICS

As you may ave guessed I love statistics (despite having failed A level maths due to statistics! I there fore post a link to the Economist site which has used YouGov stats to depict Trumps ratings across states, and by policy, race and age demographic.

Basically he is in free fall on every measure except national security; and even there the country is 50:50. Only in 10 states is his approval rating positive, and these are mainly states with low populations like North Dakota and Idaho. Even amongst his main demographic his approval rating is negative White, male and 45-64 and no college!

And a nice quote “Karl Marx said that men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please.” That goes for Mr Trump as much as for anyone else. On the economy, which due to its capitalist nature (and many having to have more than one job) the numbers offering concern are rising. Trump promised wealth and riches for the middle classes but the only policy where he can be said to have done what he promised is undocumented migration – and that, given todays news could be seen to be not so clever! All this without the Epstein files being released!! I would add my own quote – people do not write their own histories – that is for others to do!
