As Donald Trump prepares to give his acceptance speech for the Republican nomination at the national convention in Milwaukee, it is instructive to examine in a neutral way which of his ideas enjoy broad popular support, and which ones do not.
I agree that this is informative, but it would be more so if you provided more complete graphics. Specifically, what is the significance of the varying colors in each of your charts? A legend would be helpful, thanks.
Nitpicking aside, I was very surprised at the statement "Trump’s more explicit promise to, “Repeal subsidies for clean energy and electric vehicles,” receives middling support from less than half of all racial and education groups." I consider myself more educated than most, and consider those policies to be at the root of inflation. Am I wrong in this?
Thanks, Barry. The colors are a "heatmap" showing more support to less support. On that statement, the surprise is that support for repeal is not higher given resistance to regulations pushing more EV sales. My guess is that people are more comfortable with clean energy (wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, etc, at least in conjunction with gas and nuclear) and therefore maybe less likely to support repeal in this question. Just a guess.
This is very informative. I'm surprised by a few of these findings. Thanks for sharing

Well...they shouldn't be. Life based on an energy supply of unicorn farts and fairy dust is hardly encouraging.
Thanks for your response, and thanks for your work on these essays! They are most enjoyable.
