Nearly half (48%) of Americans haven’t heard anything about the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill.’ Even among the 52% who report hearing anything, a significant number – 40% – only mention generalities or its status in Congress. Nearly two dozen policy impacts of the bill are raised by the rest of the survey respondents. These range from perceived positive economic benefits, like tax cuts, to negative impacts on government programs like SNAP and Social Security. More respondents have heard specifically about cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and health care generally than any other aspect of the legislation. And yet, only 8% of all Americans name Medicaid cuts as a detail of the bill they have heard about.

It wouldn’t be different if you polled the Congress and the Senste.

It is because Murdoch/Marketing/Analytics is talking about Biden, Biden, Biden and not any of the horrible shit the Republicans are doing.
Not lying, FILTERING and diverting.

🚨BREAKING: If Republicans vote to pass this bill they are TOAST in the next election. According to the latest polls, this is the most unpopular legislation maybe ever:
"Washington Post, -19 points, Fox News -21 points.”

The Help/Hurt chart at 2:30 or so of the video was confusing. And I'm no Trump supporter in any way. I understand the approval rating of the BBB, but I don't understand the comparison to Trump's first agenda. What, specifically, are they referring to within his first term (2017-2021)?

R5, if Republicans pass this bill, there will be no midterms.

Trump voters fucked around and now they will find out!

We can blame a lot of this on bad education (which is why Republicans have fought to defund education for decades) but at a certain point this ignorance is willful. We have more global access to information than we have at any point in history. If Americans choose to not pay attention to anything but Fox News until their SNAP checks stop coming, their tax bill goes up, the goods at Walmart are 300% up in price due to tariffs, and FEMA is not there to help them with disaster relief, that is on them and I won’t be sorry for any Republican voter, or any non-voter, who is shocked when it happens.

I'm sure FOX News coverage has been abysmal, but also, Trump has been very successful in tiring people out with his shit. It's been six months of a new crisis every damn day and some people have tuned out to maintain their sanity.

I can't wait until they get a "big, beautiful" surprise when they go to the ER and are presented with a four-figure bill for a cut finger.

I can honestly say I have no idea what’s in it other than the detractors say there’s some impact on Medicaid. That’s all I know about it. However, I’m confident that my knowledge of it will have no impact on what’s in it or whether or not it passes.

Americans on whole as dumb as dirt.
The quaint idea of more than a few here that civics should be taught in school is fucking laughable at this stage.

Civic should be taught to members of Congress! And maybe ethics too.

Their what?

Fox basically isn't covering it at all, except to say that a vote is happening. They know the details are unpopular so they'd rather help Trump by not publicizing what's in the bill.
But even at the other networks I feel like they're more interested in asking "But did you know *Zohran* is a *socialist*?" than in talking about the budget bill.

I’m sure the GOP will try to convince everyone that trans kids are a bigger problem

Sure your kids will be dying of measles, malnutrition and other preventable disease, and you will not even be able to afford the one doll Trump promised you. But at least they will be banned from getting gender affirmative health care!
