Just under half of likely Iowa GOP caucusgoers who support former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley indicated that they would make a crossover to the Democratic party, saying that they would rather vote for President Biden over former President Trump.
A new NBC News/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll released just one day before the Iowa caucuses found that 43 percent of Haley backers in the state said they would vote for Biden if Trump is the GOP nominee, while 23 percent say they would vote for the former president. Eight percent said they would vote for independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Overall, 71 percent of likely GOP caucusgoers said they would vote for Trump in 2024, while only 11 percent said they would vote for Biden.
“Haley is consolidating the anti-Trump vote,” J. Ann Selzer, a pollster who has conducted the Iowa survey over the last three decades, told NBC. “She does well with the people who define themselves as anti-Trump.”
The Trump economy is exactly why we’re having this housing crisis. His administration kept interest rates insanely low, way after the economy had recovered from the recession. This resulted in an insane amount of borrowing, because even poor investments could easily beat the interest rate, so it was essentially free money.
Well, surprise surprised, a ton of that borrowed money went straight into the real estate market as “safe” investments, which caused housing prices to sky rocket.
The pandemic certainly added fuel to the fire, but people tend to forget the underlying cause of massive housing inflation - “free” money and a no brainer investment.
The pandemic just fuel to the fire because everyone suddenly looked to upgrade their home situation, due to being stuck there on lock down.
And speaking of fuel, there’s more domestic oil production under Biden than under Trump! How much do we hear them removed about the price of gas? They’re so stupid
Probably actually more a problem with fed policy under Obama. It’s understandable that rates went to zero after 2008, but keeping them there for 7+ years doesn’t look great in hindsight. Trump actually did hike rates prior to the Pandemic, with Obama doing a few small hikes right before he left office as well.
