The Wall Street Journal is out with a new poll showing that voters somewhat approve of President-elect Donald Trump's agenda — but not all of it and not exactly.
And some analysts have nothing but contempt for these findings.
The result of the poll, according to their writeup, is that voters want "MAGA lite, rather than extra-strength MAGA."
"Some 53% want Trump to make significant changes in how government is run once he is inaugurated Monday. But more than 60% oppose one of his central ideas for doing so — replacing thousands of career civil-service workers with people chosen by the president," said the report. "More than 60% also oppose eliminating the Education Department, a marquee Trump proposal for paring the federal government. Only 18% would supersede congressional powers and give Trump more authority over federal spending, as he has proposed."

Even on immigration, which was supposedly a major factor in Trump's election victory, "nearly three-quarters say that only those with criminal records should be removed from the country, and 70% would protect longtime residents from removal if they don’t have criminal records" — a policy that Trump and his surrogates appear poised to reverse.
Commenters on social media reacted with disgust at voters who backed Trump but opposed much of his plans.
"Sorry, you’re getting highly concentrated MAGA," wrote Gizmodo tech reporter Matt Novak. "Unpasteurized MAGA. Black tar MAGA. Better luck next time, America."
"This MAGA is processed by being eaten and pooped out by the trained rats on one single Caribbean island. It costs 600 dollars a pound," joked magazine editor Spencer Wildes in response.
