The poll shows that public views of Musk are increasingly polarized, with Republican support of the billionaire rising while Democratic support falls.
Elon Musk’s support among Democrats has withered to a new low as he has embraced Republican politics, according to a national NBC News poll.
Only 6% of Democrats in the poll, which was conducted Sept. 13-17, said they had positive feelings about Musk, while 79% said they had negative feelings. The numbers were flipped for Republicans, with 62% having positive feelings toward him and 14% negative feelings. Independents were split, 31% to 36%.
The poll shows that views of Musk are increasingly polarized, reflecting the transformation of his public image in recent years from that of an environmentally aware automaker crusading against fossil fuels to that of a conservative activist aligned with former President Donald Trump.
Why in God’s good name would I care about Elon Muskrat’s popularity among Democrats?
YOU might not. But I’m sure the politicians and bureaucrats who determine whether Musk’s businesses continue getting billions in taxpayer funded subsidies would sure like to know if the public is behind continuing to do that. I for one would consider it a bonus if say, the Democrats won control in November, looked at the numbers and decided none of their supporters are behind Musk, determined he’s been playing fast and loose using taxpayer dollars to fund pushing his own political agenda, and turned off the free ride.
We cannot explain why it’s this high
Sure we can. Given the choice, a small percentage of people in a poll will always pick the worst answer. Is Hitler still alive, living in Argentina, and I want to give him a real nice blow job? 5% say yes, yes, and yes.
Who are the 6% that identify as Democrats?
I can only see ‘being a billionaire’ as ‘stealing from the population at large’. So you’re saying the biggest thief of society is still popular among 6% of democrats.
Why are we doing popularity polls on billionares? Unless he’s running for office the default for all normal Americans should just be eat the rich.
he was always a terrible person even when he was “that nerd who goes on big bang theory” but let’s face it. his popularity is lower with more people than just democrats.
if he starts painting his face and saying ‘you’re fired’. look out 6%
Poll of whom, you ask?
Interviews: 1,000 Registered Voters, including 870 respondents interviewed via cellphone. Date: September 13-17, 2024
They obviously don’t poll those of us who don’t answer calls from numbers we don’t recognize.
And don’t return sketchy voicemails. We Olde learned this in the days of “Caller ID” as an extra paid service.
So you’re saying those numbers could be lower? Lower indeed. Maybe into the negative.
the numbers are cartoonish.
I sure fucking hope it’s not 94% for Republicans.
Probably higher.
Christ, he’s ACTUALLY managed to hit the Lizardman Constant with the dems.
Now hit it with the Repubs too. Come on Trump. You wanna turn on your ally. You wanna turn on your ally and throw him to your cult soooooo badly. It’ll be really funny I promise
Trump is easy to manipulate. Go on Truth Social, astroturf the shit out of the idea that Musk is going to backstab Trump. Sit back and enjoy the show.
Many many people are saying it. Trump would have won if Musky Leon actually was a man of his word and ran those Trump ads on X. He promised $45 million of ads during the RNC, but Leon ended up just charging $45 million for the first ad.
ONLY?!
And yet we are supporting his monopoly on smart electric vehicles with tariffs.
Concerning!
Big if true!
6% is waaay too high
