| Republicans are spending millions on a special election to defend a House seat in a Tennessee district where Trump won by +20% last year. Even if Republicans keep the seat, the tides are clearly shifting.... |

This week is CRITICAL
Trump set a new record for low approval (net -19%) in the moving average, despite slightly improving from previous poll. Previous poll was lowest ever, current poll is 2nd lowest This time last Trump term was when Trump reached bottom and started to increase approval. Will that happen this time??? https://www.economist.com/interactive/trump-approval-tracker |

Mirroring national trends, net 13pt swing toward Democrats. https://time.com/7338426/tennessee-election-takeaways-republicans-democrats/ "In yhe five special elections for House seats this year, Democrats on average ran 17 points better than Trump did a year earlier. To put that in context, there are 48 incumbent Republicans who won their House seats in 2024 by 17 points or less. Put another way: if the results this year repeat next year, the current House Speaker Mike Johnson’s 219-213 Republican majority might well be dismantled." |

Both last year and this year's results are a reflection of a very unpopular sitting POTUS. |

| The Trump Administration is an abject failure and Trump himself is a disgusting pig so none of this can be a surprise to anyone not in the cult |

| Don't be fooled. Voters are only thinking about their wallet. If inflation eases, Trump will increase his popularity. Most voters are selfish individuals who do not care about other people's rights. |

Doubtful it eases enough in 10 months to help the GOP. They have no plan. They want to end ACA subsidies. The stock market is propped up by an AI bubble. AI investment is not providing actual returns. |

What is Trump doing to ease inflation besides bringing on a recession? |

| He is very clearly ill and declining fast. He may hang on for a long time, I don't know, but he is not running our country. He is a failure. His cult can see it. That's why his polls are slipping into nothingness. His crazies will hold on until the very end, but most will let go as their paychecks buy less and less and their health care costs goes through the roof or their health care disappears altogether. |

By the time of the midterms, Trump appointees to the Fed will have lowered interest rates by 100bps. That means mortgages will be in the high 4’s for prime borrowers. This will also stoke inflation, but it doesn’t happen that quickly. At the same time, people will be losing jobs all year.
I find that people tend to vote according to their hopes and dreams, rather than their lived reality. |
