Transparent Idiocy and Cynically Wishful Democratic Party Thinking: Reflections on a Poll and its Reporting

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

39% : The OFR has specified 6 drastic plans it will implement if it can steal the White House back with help from his Republi-fascist friends in state legislatures and the state and federal courts: execution of drug dealers; forcing homeless people into "tent cities" (concentration camps); deploying the US military to crush crime, social unrest and protest; stripping job protections from federal workers and staffing thousands of federal positions with (his own) fascist appointees; eliminating the Education Department; restricting voting to one day.
36% : But it's dubious indeed to think that voter backlash against the killing of Roe v. Wade will provide the Democrats enough turnout to succeed with: a highly unpopular Democratic president sitting atop an inflationary economy; 74% of US-Americans saying "the country is on the wrong track;" just 8 in 100 US voters put abortion at the top of their list.
31% : Not Much Reported: Climate and Abortion as Low Priorities Two other parts of the NBC poll have gone without much if any attention from liberal cable news and Democratic politicos: the percentage of US Americans who put "climate [change]" as their top issue is just 9% and the percentage who do so with abortion is just 8%.
20% : And, of course, as with "threats to democracy," the abortion issue cuts both ways: many of those in the 8% who make abortion their top voting priority are certainly anti-abortion.
