One exception to the thread title. Trump's 'no tax on tips' intended policy has been so popular that Kamala has adopted it as her own initiative that reverses the Biden/Harris initiative to improve compliance on paying tax on tips:
". . .In 2023, the Treasury Department introduced the Service Industry Tip Compliance Agreement (SITCA) program to "take advantage of advancements in point-of-sale, time and attendance systems, and electronic payment settlement methods to improve tip reporting compliance."
The announcement from the Internal Revenue Service said the initiative would "decrease taxpayer and IRS administrative burdens and provide more transparency and certainty to taxpayers.". . ."

But otherwise how many of the stated policy positions Kamala has expressed are wanted by the American people? The media isn't going to advertise them. But they are out there for all who want to know. A recent I&I/TPP poll put those policies out there without a name or political party attached. The results are interesting. All the following are Kamala Harris stated policies but again no name or political party was mentioned in the poll:
Defund the police - 64% overall (Democrats/GOP/Independents) oppose
Rapid transition to electric cars - Democrats marginally approve, 61% overall oppose.
Fracking for oil - Democrats & Independents marginally approve, 41% overall oppose; 39% approve.
Abolishing ICE - 68% including all voting groups oppose.
Medicare for all - Democrats approve, GOP disapprove, Independents 50/50 - overall 44% disapprove - 42% approve.
Death Penalty for Cop Killers - all voting groups support.
Allowing Felons to Vote - Democrats approve, all others oppose.
Health Insurance for Illegal Aliens - 62% overall oppose - Democrats approve 45% to 42%
Pathway to Citizenship for illegals - Overall 46% approve, 45% oppose - Democrats strongly approve while all others oppose.
Student Loan Waiver - Democrats strongly approve, Independents somewhat approve, GOP strongly disapprove
Free College Education - Democrats and Independents strongly approve, GOP disapproves
Interesting that the poll did not include the health of the economy overall/inflation or border security that are high on the list most Americans believe to be important.

And it all may be academic anyway since the vast majority of the MSM, Google, social media won't deal with issues and absolutely won't honestly compare Trump policies with Harris policies. All are strongly reporting her 'no tax on tips' newly discovered policy though because that is popular.
