Contributing sentiments towards policy:

69% : It's happening because Donald Trump is taking this radical right wing extremist agenda and trying to implement and therefore impacting the quality of your life.
56% : Trump used his first week in office to sign hundreds of executive orders and actions, a dizzying flurry of orders that, among other things, sought to crack down on immigration, unleash U.S. liquefied natural gas exports and freeze all congressionally approved spending, if only temporarily.Democrats, for their part, have sought to use Trump's vice-grip on the post-inauguration news cycle to double down on their efforts to appeal to voters and prepare for the midterms, no matter how far-off they might seem.
35% : "One can conclude, Donald Trump is using rural America and giving rural voters nothing in return," the memo continued.
33% : However, there is a difference between Trump as a presidential candidate and Trump as president.
33% : Trump has vowed to undo many of these policies after retaking control of the Oval Office.
25% : Many of the Republican-led states that did not opt to expand Medicaid saw wide hospital closures, higher out-of-pocket costs for prescriptions and much more limited access to opiod recovery or substance abuse programs, Harrison said.
20% : Rather, Harrison said the aim is to tie Trump more closely to these policies and to make the case to voters directly that Trump is "using rural America, and giving rural voters nothing in return.
