These polls always over sample liberals. The Washington Post was very wrong about the election results in November yet again. These polls are always biased against Trump by several points, as proven by election results.

And what was the approval of Biden and Democrats open border policies? Look up those ratings, which were abysmal.


Nothing in your post is wrong.

Still, the 2018 elections were very good for the Democrats and generally very bad for the GOP (aside from +2 in the US Senate).

At the rate things are going, 2026 is not going to go well for the GOP. The Democrats have already done well in 2025 special elections, and every week the White House looks worse and worse.

There is some teflon quality to trump that he can rebound like this. I’m not going to feel reassured until he has gone to the big mar a lago in the abyss.

Agreed. But tariffs will be FELT, and soon. MAGA will stick with him but they aren’t enough. Dems must start filing impeachment now. Every single day. As soon as they take the House Trump needs to be impeached.

By then so many would have soured on him there’s a chance the Senate finally does its job.

Now is the time to push your members of Congress. Don’t wait. Don’t worry “he won’t be removed” . Just act. Call you members and insist they call for this. These are legislators, not leaders. Enough pressure and they will follow public will.

I appreciate your post but his own performance in the primary might not translate to dozens of key contests in the midterm elections.

Wasn't it somebody on this thread (or maybe another thread) that said when his approval rating was in the 30s, that the GOP would turn on him?


GOP MAGA faithful won't turn on Trump but the Trump/Biden norm 40% approval rating is a signal of death in national elections. Dems will be successful in 2026 and 2028 thanks to Trump being the sitting POTUS. Simple as that. History repeating itself.

Don't count your chickens before they are fully hatched. It's possible the GOP get a spine before the end of this year, early next year just in time for the elections and turn the ship around. Now if they stay on the current course, I agree their goose is cooked.


If they do, great, because that would be best for the country. As it is, Trump's job approval numbers are tanking in record speed and by 2026 he'll be as unpopular as he was in 2020 and as unpopular as Biden was in 2024.

Sitting presidents with 40% approval ratings are a political death sentence to the party in power. Been here, done this.

A spine would mean impeachment and conviction.

Most voters, and especially young ones, won’t care about “concern” expressed in stump speeches.

Nah. Our dairy is pretty clean and most dairy farms are pretty conscientious. Some may cut corners and some people may get sick or die but it won't be many. This won't be a big deal, just another embarrassment.


There is a reason there haven't been many milk issues over the last 70 years, but those reasons no longer exist. Drink at your peril.

Don't they pool the milk from all the farms together for processing?

Immigration approval, by date poll closed:

- ABC/Ipsos, Apr. 22: -7%
- YouGov/Economist, Apr. 22: -5%
- Fox News, Apr. 21: -1%
- Reuters/Ipsos, Apr. 12: -1%
- Atlas Intel, Apr. 14: -6%
- UMass, Apr. 9: +4%*
- Quinnipiac, Apr. 9: -5%
- AP/NORC, Mar. 31: -1%

*asked if. handled "well/not well"

So yes, the "idea" of immigration is popular, but the details matter and as usual, Trump is failing.
