What is the percentage of US adults who even know who Jerome Powell is?
If only a tiny minority of surveyed adults knew, then I really doubt whether the poll tells us anything useful.
I think that these polls mostly tell us that:
- Trump is polarizing and unpopular
- Congress is always unpopular
- the Supreme Court is popular or unpopular based on how recently they ruled for/against an issue that the respondent is passionate about
- for people in politics, the less well known you are, the less unpopular you are
- defrost 9mo agoMore or less the same as the percentage of US adults who know the name of their country begins with the letter 'U'.
- Throaway1982 9mo agoProbably think its Colin Powell.
- cal_dent 9mo agoExactly. One defining thing about the current administration is the view that Main Street matters, not Wall Street. Whether their actions match is one thing (it doesnt always when the market throws a wobble) but the surface level optics of the intention is always there. Its the sleight of hand of blaming faceless boogeymen for their base. Powell falls exactly in to that. Wall St knows him but, without trying to be condescending, most of the general population I think would have no idea.
