Taxes and economy to decide the next race?

From CBS News:

Two-thirds of N.J. residents polled “dissatisfied” with the economy as governor’s race enters final month

With one month to go until Election Day, New Jersey residents in a recent poll say taxation is their biggest issue, they’re overall dissatisfied with the economy, and most believe the country is headed in the “wrong direction.”

The poll released by Stockton University on Friday collected responses from 705 voting-age residentsof the Garden State on Democratic candidate Mikie Sherrill, Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli, incumbent Gov. Phil Murphy and President Trump. 

Roughly 67% of those surveyed were at least somewhat dissatisfied with the current state of the economy, the results show, with 44% stating they were “very dissatisfied” with economic conditions. Only 20% rated their and their family’s financial situation as “better” than the year before, with about 39% saying they were worse off, and another 39% about the same as last year.

On the issues, 25% of those polled said taxes were the most important for the candidates to address, with “affordability or cost of living” getting 12% and the more general “economy” getting 9%.

    Yes, people generally vote with their wallets.
    Now tell me how Trump is doing in that regard?

  2. Chad Powers says:

    I for one am dissatisfied with the economy. No good solutions are on the horizon.

  3. ItIsGoingToBe AFastOneRideDown says:

    There are always good solutions. The issue is who are they good for?

    King’s replacement of talent with D+ knee dwellers guarantees a fast take down across multiple fields. Simply because the king is mentally ill. He’s a bully. You hit a bully hard enough and he chickens out.

    Professionals can recognize it and know how to deal with it. All counter parties to the USA have their best medical professionals assessing every move by the wannabe king.

    Watch 11/8/25. That is when the tariff hold on China expires. Is it TACO again and another 90 days extension of King’s fantasy negotiations? Or is he going to force the 100% tariff.

    China and the rest of the world is writing off the king’s confederation. Expect economic and military failures all over the place. Just like all his bankruptcies, he is not competent to win in an even field. His present ascendancy to billionaire status is on the back of corruption.

    The king is well know for Psychological Projection.
    In one of his last post he accused the democrats of being of doing the devil’s work.

    Could he be that is his 2023 despair he prayed to the dark one and sold his soul to him?
    Notice that during the swearing in as POTUS he did not put his hand in the bible.

    Could he be acting in his mind as a true believer that because he made a deal with Lucifer he won the election?

    And because of that point of view which is constantly reinforced by the bunch of religious nitwits surrounding him, he feels totally reckless and maybe think to himself that he’s the force to bring Armageddon to be?

    With Trump, the Art of the Deal = Being the biggest asshole in the room. What’s so amazing to me about this is what hypocrites Christians have become. Hey, he flipped Roe v. Wade. All is forgiven.

  6. Libturd says:

    And the idiot Christians eat up his propaganda like it was host on Sunday. After the unsuccessful assassination attempt, Trump said God spared him to save the country from those who seek its ruin. He hasn’t just embraced Jesus. The Christians are okay with him claiming to be Jesus.

    Again, MAGA can do no WRONG. Neither could the Nazis.

    FoxNews convinced boomer that supremacy and facism are viable options. Grifter in chief is their only chance

    At small local school district oldest boomers parrot same Fox News language to oppose, delay, block and challenge any and all school district’s efforts for improvement.
    Grievances, rancor and bitterness is their source of energy against future generations

    Money does strange things to people:

    A short walk from the home where long-time Wall Street financier Howard Rubin lived with his wife and three children in Manhattan, he kept a second apartment.

    The $18,000 a month penthouse at Metropolitan Tower Condominium on 57th street, just below Central Park, has excellent views — but most of his visitors never got to see them.

    According to prosecutors Rubin converted the place into a seedy “built-in” sex dungeon where he allegedly tortured dozens of women with savage beatings, rape and even electrocutions.

    Rubin and his assistant Jennifer Powers now stand accused of running a $1 million bondage and masochism sex-trafficking scheme between 2009 and 2019, with much of the activity taking place in the sound-proofed apartment.

    Once inside his lair, his alleged victims – many of whom say they were lured there under false pretenses – endured depraved behavior.

    The lockable room was painted red, with white carpet, and included various sadism and bondage devices and equipment, according to court documents obtained by The Post.

    Among the items in the room was an X-shaped “St. Andrews cross” and bed with restraints where the women would be bound, chained and gagged, according to the authorities.

    Also inside the dungeon was a collection of sex toys, full-face masks with zippers, ropes, chains, metal hooks, and other devices such as a cattle prod used to inflict harm, according to his alleged victims.

    On July 30, 2012, Powers — who allegedly helped lure dozens of women for him to abuse – emailed Rubin with details of how she had furnished the dungeon, noting:

    “I’ve put chains on the four points of your cross and four points of the Dungeon bed. On the end of each chain is a cuff. … I’ve done this bc it will be VERY easy to just throw someone on the cross or on the bed and just strap them into the ‘pre-made’ chains and cuffs,” federal documents said.

    According to an article in Newsweek, Google searches for help with mortgages have reached their highest level since 2009.

  11. Chad Powers says:

    3b,
    I‘m sure Tish James was doing a google search for help with her mortgages as well. Her indictment should be coming soon. She takes such pleasure in taking down her victims it will be great to see her go down. Listed her father as her husband to get a loan. Total fraud.

  12. 3b says:

    Chad: The help with mortgage Google searches is for help in paying mortgages, modifying mortgages, delayed payments etc it’s indicative of people struggling to make their monthly mortgage payments.

    As for Tish James, the facts against her look compelling, but I am sure she will claim she did nothing wrong.

  13. Chad Powers says:

    3b,
    No worries, just joking about the google search. Watching the Eagles game on TV and just killing time. It is cold and rainy this evening.

  14. 3b says:

    Chad: Gotcha, sunny and 84 here.

    Democrat, meet mirror.

    In other news Bad Bunny has confirmed that his Super Bowl half time show will be all in Spanish. He basically said too bad to those who have a problem with it.

    He does not look bad, not at all.

  19. Libturd says:

    I’ll probably understand more of Bad Bunny speaking Spanish than what I could translate of Kendrick Lamar’s English language halftime show.

  20. Ex says:

    8:57 or Trump’s mumbling nonsensical tangents

  21. Juice Box says:

    Who cares? Isn’t this just more manufactured outrage? Gloria Estefan mixed in spanish into her SuperBowl half time shows three decades ago.
