Way Too Many People Want an All-Powerful President

1/3 of Americans support Trump so that sort of explains the poll.

SGT (Join to see) I think they need to read French history. They certainly do not know that one entity will rule Wall Street, taxes, medical life systems, food distribution, etc...Forest Gump said it stupid is as stupid does.

It's not surprising that a large number of people responded affirmatively to what was probably a carefully worded and carefully positioned question in a targeted survey.

It is also not surprising that many people are tired of the endless partisan bickering that has gone on in the US congress for about four or five decades -- especially because the press always emphasizes the "gridlock" and always blames it on whichever party they currently hate.

How many of that "33 percent" were just saying that they wanted a "strong leader" whose entire agenda wasn't scrapped in the name of "bi-partisan compromise"? How many took not bothering with elections to mean not constantly campaigning while he was supposed to be working on his current term? How many were saying they wanted a "leader" whose decisions weren't driven entirely by how that decision would effect his next election? How many would consider "not bothered with elections" to include term limits so the leader wouldn't be bothered about elections because he couldn't run again?

When any organization cherry picks the results of a single question from among multiple surveys you can be sure that they are reporting the one response that best fits their message and agenda. The is especially true when their report doesn't specify the actual question, or what choices were offered, or any details about who was surveyed, when, or how.
