With polls like theirs; who needs "polls"?

Morgan

You're correct Strt-Up, it surely doesn't benefit us and to know who it truly does answers the question, who is Trump really working for? Taking away or slimming down the protections of the CFPB only hurts the consumer, and since the CFPB doesn't come from tax payer money cutting back on it doesn't save us money in tax revenue or debt. The best way out of Trumps manipulations would be to detangle from the government bureaucracy and become an independent agency. As it stands now their assistance is free to the consumer, I imagine that will end soon too.

Now who is he going to choose for his pick on the CFPB, another Wall street tycoon such as former Goldman Sachs banker and movie financier Steven Mnuchin, now Treasury Secretary. Seems to me that just may be a conflict of interest, similar to Rick Perry heading up the DOE, that is as far as research into new alternative energy, guess we won't be moving forward there either.


His behavior proves that this has been his game from the beginning, the good news here is that as he dismantles our protections from wall street to the environment, along with our rights, what will be revealed over and over is his intention and where he and his party(whatever that might be at this point) are headed. I only hope people who had supported him don't continue to look at him with a blind eye.

"EXACTLY!!! I think they go to a Dem rally, or one of their Protests, and take their polls there!!! - Bevos

Is there any other answer?

Bevos

Just don't pay any attention to them!!! THAT is the answer!!! I stopped paying attention to them a long time ago!!! They MEAN NOTHING!!! Except for the fact, that someone has some EXTRA time on their hands and wants to conduct one!! And IF that person were to be spending their time doing something CONSTRUCTIVE, for once, I might listen more to him or her!!!

Polls are a tool of the Establishment/MSM/Left.
Quite funny and heart warming how the phony polls backfired in the last presidential election.
The good Guys DID NOT give up, as planned by the left.
Glory to the Highest.

We had NO other choice.
With all the other allowed candidates/selections, This Republic was toast.
The PTB/NeoCONS seem to be making headway though. Israel first?
We shall see.
With The Beast, it was a done deal for the PTB/Big Money.

Most favor an independent inquiry on Russia questions
Poll finds that 52% of Americans support such an investigation of Trump associates.

As questions swirl about the contact members of President Trump’s campaign had with Russians throughout the 2016 election, a majority of Americans favor an independent investigation, a new poll has found.
Fifty-two percent of Americans support such an inquiry, while 23% are opposed, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll released Saturday. Meanwhile, 22% said they neither favor nor oppose an investigation.
The poll, conducted March 23-27, surveyed nearly 1,100 voters and found stark partisan divides .
More than three-quarters of Democrats favor an independent investigation into ties between Russia and Trump and his campaign, compared with a quarter of Republicans who would like to see such an inquiry.
After last year’s election, intelligence officials announced that Russia sought to influence the election through hacking, which included attacks on the Democratic National Committee’s computer systems. On Capitol Hill, Democrats — and some Republicans — have called for an independent investigation, saying the congressional inquiries, particularly the House investigation, have been tainted by interference from the White House.
Last month, FBI Director James B. Comey announced his agency was conducting an investigation into any potential collusion between Trump’s campaign aides and Russian officials.
In recent weeks, some of Trump’s allies have faced scrutiny for their contacts with Russia.
Michael Flynn resigned as Trump’s national security advisor in February after it was revealed he had misled Vice President Mike Pence and other top White House officials about his conversations with the Russian ambassador to the U.S.
Last month, Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions recused himself from overseeing any possible independent investigation, after it was revealed he met with Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador, on a few occasions. This came after Sessions, a Trump ally during the campaign, told members of Congress at his confirmation hearing in January that he had no contacts with the Russians during the campaign.
Trump has decried questions surrounding Russia as “fake news” and a political “witch hunt” orchestrated by Democrats upset that they lost the 2016 election.
On Saturday, Trump used Twitter — as he often does — to voice his disdain for questions about Russia.
“It is the same Fake News Media that said there is ‘no path to victory for Trump’ that is now pushing the phony Russia story,” he tweeted. “A total scam!”

‘We will be adrift again’

Mai Luu left the tenant meeting in tears, a neighbor holding her hand.
At 80, the Westminster resident said, “I thought I would stay the rest of my years in one last place. Now I start over…. To even think of a place to move to … how do you begin?”
A short drive from Little Saigon’s bustling shopping district lies a haven for many veterans of the Vietnam War — Green Lantern Village & Mobile Homes.
Residents of the park said its owner, Walsh Properties LLC, informed them a week ago of plans to apply to the city for a different land-use permit that would allow for development.
Walsh officials invited residents to a meeting Saturday to hear more about plans for the property. Nearly 100 people filled the park’s clubhouse, where residents were stunned to learn that the Beach Boulevard property was already in escrow in preparation for its sale. Tenants may be forced to move out by early 2018 once the owner complies with local and state regulations that require that it hold a public hearing and provide relocation services to residents.
Staff from Overland, Pacific & Cutler Inc., an Irvine relocation specialist, will interview each family to document their needs before submitting a report to the city.
“I feel frozen. I can’t think,” said Luu, a former lieutenant colonel in the South Vietnamese Army whose home is filled with old photographs, coupons and Costco brochures. She moved to Green Lantern in 1989, when rent was $400 a month, compared with her current bill of $900.
It’s the only home she has known since immigrating to the U.S., after suffering for more than 10 years in a Communist reeducation camp, she said.
“We were refugees,” she said. “We will be adrift again.”
Vietnamese Americans now occupy about 80% of the park’s 130 units. Residents said they would be priced out of Orange County’s exploding housing market if they had to look elsewhere.
During Saturday’s meeting, a Vietnamese interpreter helped explain the views of Ross Bartlett, part of the park owner’s family. Bartlett said his family has been considering selling the property for the last decade.
He said his grandfather bought the property at the end of World War II. In order to continue to operate, he said, they would have to rip up roads inside the park and lay new electrical, water and sewer lines on the property at an estimated cost of $3 million, which the family cannot afford.
He declined to disclose any details about the sale of the property for confidentiality reasons. But he said selling to another mobile home park operator wouldn’t have made sense.
“They would also require repairs before purchase,” he said.
Resident David Griffin 51, a six-year resident of the park, said the tenants should have been given notice sooner of the plans.
“I feel betrayed,” he said. “They intended to sell the whole time — so why bother to have us together today? If they don’t give me fair market value for what I have, I don’t know what I will do.”
Nghia Bui, 79, a retired army captain, said he plans to stage a protest as the permit process winds it way though City Hall. Before Sunday, he circulated a flier advising immigrants what to say — “We are old; we are poor,” and, “Changing the land is changing my living. Please don’t.”
“No one wants to leave here,” said Son Do, 66, a former second lieutenant in the South Vietnamese Army. “New people moved in just months ago, others just a few years ago. What choices do they have? How does anyone find a safe and affordable place in Orange County?”
Bertha Day, 93, lived at Green Lantern for 35 years until dementia led her to transfer to a nursing home in 2016. Her son, Richard Day, now takes care of his mother’s property. He just spent $1,300 on patio and exterior repairs, in hopes of selling. “Now what?” he asked. “So many questions, so much confusion.”
Luu, still reeling, faces more sleepless nights.
“It’s not only her who cannot sleep. We can’t sleep, either,” said Nhi Tran, 29, who lives near Luu. She said either she or her husband visits Luu daily, helping her with errands. The couple and their daughter moved to the mobile home park from Las Vegas two years earlier.
“In my mind, I’m thinking: ‘What about my job? What about finding a new school?’ ” said the nurse. “But we are young — we worry for the older people. They have no place to go, no one to turn to.”
