Remember Andrew Yang, the lawyer/entrepreneur Democrat who came out of nowhere to become a player in the 2020 race for the Democratic presidential nomination? His signature proposal was a universal basic income, which he called a "Freedom Dividend."

He was described in the media at the time as a "dark horse" and a "novelty candidate," but then his popularity grew during the debates and he even attracted fervent fans, known as the "Yang Gang."

He didn’t win the nomination, but afterward changed his affiliation to independent and went on to found the political action committee Forward Party in 2021, which is billed as an alternative to the two major parties. He can frequently be found opining on CNN.

He can call himself an independent or whatever else he wants, but his track record shows that he’s certainly no conservative. For reasons known only to himself, he ran a poll starting Monday asking, “How are you feeling about the Trump admin thus far?”

I don’t think this was the answer he was looking for:

🚨 JUST IN: Democrat Andrew Yang runs poll about the Trump administration - it horribly BACKFIRED.

"How are you feeling about the Trump admin thus far?"
🔴 Great: 70% (+56)
🔵 Terrible: 14%
🟡 Okay: 11%

Wow. pic.twitter.com/Q0Z2zQ76bW

The poll is still ongoing Tuesday; make sure to stop by and tell Andrew how you think it’s going.

The reality, which he should have known, is that Trump’s popularity is soaring right now, and the majority of Americans love what he’s doing. RedState’s Ward Clark brought you the numbers:

On Monday, the Trump administration released a missive on the official White House promoting the overall favorable results of a new poll conducted by Harvard CAPS-Harris, showing broad approval from the American public for President Trump's policies.

A new poll by Harvard CAPS-Harris reveals the majority of the country backs President Donald J. Trump and his actions to bring much-needed reforms that are making America great again.

• 81% support deporting criminal illegal immigrants.
• 76% support a “full-scale effort to find and eliminate fraud and waste in government.”
• 76% support closing the border with additional security and policies.
• 69% support keeping men out of women’s sports.
• 68% support government declaring there are only two genders.
• 65% support ending race-based hiring in government.
• 63% support “freezing and re-evaluating all foreign aid expenditures and the department that handled them.”
• 61% support reciprocal tariffs.
• 60% support direct U.S. negotiations with Russia to end the war in Ukraine.
• 59% support cutting government spending already approved by Congress.
• 57% support ending the ban on new offshore drilling.

Wow. It's almost like the Agenda is wildly popular or something

Yang may now be an independent, and he hasn’t presented himself as a foaming-at-the-mouth Never Trumper, but it’s nevertheless highly unlikely that he’s pleased with these results. This tweet pretty much sums up his judgment:

If Joe Biden does step aside he would immediately go down as one of the greatest Presidents of all time - and his legacy would be one of personal triumph and nobility. #swapJoeout
