More than half of voters think Trump will act like a dictator if elected: poll

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:32:08 GMT

(The Hill) - More than half of all voters believe former President Trump will act like a dictator if reelected to office, according to a new poll. The Harvard CAPS-Harris poll found that 56 percent of those surveyed at least somewhat agree that Trump, who is the clear front-runner for the GOP nomination, will act like a dictator if given a second term, including almost 40 percent who strongly agree. The poll also found that 59 percent of voters believe Democrats are unfairly trying to scare voters over Trump by saying he wants to be a dictator. The results come after Trump made and doubled down on comments that he would act as a dictator if reelected president, but only on “day one” of his second term. "Democratic talking points are having an impact on Trump," said Mark Penn, chairman of the Harvard CAPS-Harris poll.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:32:08 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- Gift cards are a popular and convenient present this holiday season but buyers should beware. Cyber security experts say thieves are targeting gift cards with a scam called card draining.“Oftentimes, scammers will replace a barcode on the back of a card with a card they have. So while we're buying that card, we think we're adding value to the card we're buying. And we're actually adding value to a scammers card,” explained cyber security expert Chris Peltz with Guidepoint Security.“Another popular scam is stealing the card information off a card, putting it back on the shelf,” said Peltz.“So when we purchase and add value to that card, they can quickly use that value before our recipient gets it.”Peltz said it’s a popular scam this time of year.“Gift cards have become really popular gifts, we're tending to give more gift cards and we're tending to load more value on them. The average gift card is approaching about $300 in value. So there's money to be made in target...
