A recent survey involving 806 voters from New York reveals that a significant 67 percent feel the cost of living in the state is spiraling out of control, as reported by the New York Post.
Participants were asked about their views on whether the cost of living in the state was heading in the right or wrong direction. A mere 27 percent believed it was on the right track, whereas an overwhelming majority of 67 percent felt it was veering off course.
Interestingly, the dissatisfaction with New York’s living costs cuts across party lines, with 59 percent of Democrats and 71 percent of Independents expressing their concerns.
Despite the widespread discontent, Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul appears to have a comfortable lead in the race for reelection, boasting a 16-point advantage (49 to 33 percent) over her Republican opponent, Bruce Blakeman, the Nassau County Executive.
While Governor Hochul’s approval rating hovers just below the halfway mark, at 48 percent approval against 44 percent disapproval, many New Yorkers concerned about the cost of living seem poised to maintain their support for the status quo under Democratic leadership.
Hochul’s approval rating might be below 50 percent (48 percent approve, 44 percent disapprove), but the idiots who live in New York and are worried about the cost of living will still vote for her to keep the Democrat Party in charge.
We see this again and again in blue states, not just New York, but in California, Minnesota, and Illinois… Call it Battered Voter Syndrome, because no matter how awful things get, voters refuse to leave the political party battering them. Don’t even get me started on the battered voters in these collapsing Democrat-run cities.
What’s the thinking behind this? It must be something like, We’re going to prove just how much we hate you Trumptards by allowing our city and state to go completely to hell before we vote for you!
Boy, they sure are showing us!
Let them burn down their own standard of living using their misguided principles as the fuel and firewood. What do I care? Why should anyone care? After all, people should get what they vote for. This is America, after all.
This might explain some of the psychology: In this same poll, President Trump’s job approval rating with New York voters is even lower than Hochul’s. Only 34 percent approve of the job he’s doing, while 64 percent disapprove.
Here’s another look at the psychology of these morons – spend more, they say!
“Two-thirds of New Yorkers say either the state budget doesn’t spend enough on programs like education, healthcare, roads, and mass transit, or the state spends just about the right amount of money, while only 22% – including a plurality of Republicans – say the state spends too much on these programs,” Greenberg said. “Nearly half of Democrats say the state doesn’t spend enough, and only 12% say the state spends too much. Yet again, independents are almost evenly divided, 29% just right, 27% too much, 25% not enough.”
There is no critical thinking among the left. No one ever stops to realize that New York already spends more per capita than 40 other states, so maybe that’s not the problem. New York spends $11,743 per citizen. Florida and Texas spend less than half that, $5611 and $4617, respectively, and yet everyone’s fleeing New York and mainly heading to Florida and Texas.
But, you know — spend more!
Dummies.
