Very few Americans blame crime on the president. More likely their mayor or police chief. Sometimes the sheriff, DA or governor. Occasionally they blame the criminal or victims too.
- irjustin 3y agoI believe you're discounting the power of Fox News[0]. Those comments could be troll farms, or real people, no idea. But, a non-trivial portion of America thinks like this. Ignore/discounting this group is actually how Trump won the presidency. Progressives got ahead of themselves (ourselves?) and got blind-sided.

- Capricorn2481 3y agoWhere are you getting very few? I'd say pick 5 random Americans and at least 2 will blame the president for most problems.
- onionisafruit 3y agoMy statement was mostly informed by my weekday mornings at the neighborhood rec center. Half of the geezers I talk to voted for Trump. The other half are so old they probably last voted for Bush — and I don’t mean W. They all talk shit about Biden; primarily about immigration. But when they go on about crime, it’s always local politicians they blame.

- gedy 3y ago> Very few Americans blame crime on the president. If they voted for him, otherwise they sure do blame.
