Today is National Crawfish Day…..may not mean much to most but I live in Cajun country and it is a big deal.
After about a 100 days in office Little Donny is not shaping up the way his voters thought.
Food prices are soaring, housing cost are suffocating, health care is under attack and the economy as a w3hole is looking like a pile to steaming manure.
President Donald Trump is reported to have recently gotten his “worst set of polling data” during his “entire second term as president,” CNN data guru Harry Enten said during a live broadcast on Tuesday (April 15) referencing the latest CBS News/YouGov poll.
“I would argue this is the worst set of polling data that Donald Trump has had in his entire second term as president,” Enten said. “In part, because the CBS News/YouGov poll that came out yesterday has been one of his best.”
Enten compared the latest CBS News/YouGov poll to past surveys during Trump’s second of two non-consecutive terms in office. The new poll showed that Trump’s approval rating dipped from 53% in February to 47% in April, while 53% of respondents said the economy ws getting worse, a percentage that has increased from 49% in February and 42% in November.
“The majority of Americans think that the economy is getting worse,” Enten said. “It’s an 11-point jump from November to now, and of course Donald Trump won the 2024 election because he promised to fix the economy and yet views of the economy are going down. The percentage of those who say it’s getting worse are going up.”
Trump’s job performance was reported to have a 41% approval rating and 53% disapproval rating among registered voters in the latest poll released by Quinnipiac on April 9; a 46% approval rating in the latest Morning Consult Pro poll released earlier this week; and a 45% favorable to 52% unfavorable (-7.7 margin) ratio in the latest Economist poll conducted on April 9, all of which are record lows since the beginning of his second of two non-consecutive terms in January. The president was also previously reported to have dropped to a record low 47% approval rating in Rasmussen polls conducted earlier this week before increasing to 48% on April 11.
Trump was also reported to see a drop in support among his own party with 86% of Republicans saying they approved his job performance in the latest Quinnipiac poll. A majority 72% of respondents said they believed Trump’s sweeping international tariffs would hurt the U.S. economy in the short-term and 53% said they would have a long-term negative impact as well, while 22% said they think the tariffs would have a positive effect on the U.S. economy.

This, if it continues, does not bode well for the upcoming 2026 elections.
Now can the Dems use this in ways that would help the people of this country or will they throw words at this news that will motivate no one.
Don’t care if you support Donny or not….the country is not happy and hopefully will make these thieves in the White House pay for it in 2026.
If you have a thought or two on the direction of the country then by all means share….but only about the direction and the numbers, please.

Please do not forget that somewhere around April 20, 2025, Trump is looking for an excuse to declare some kind of national emergency so that he can declare martial law across the nation and there will be no 2026 election. If that is not the case, then he and his cohorts will steal the 2026 election or they will instigate another January 6 kind of scene that will succeed this time because of scotus being in his pocket…Remember that Trump, like Hitler, is using the very legal framework of the democracy to skirt the demands of the constitution and he is doing a helluva job at getting it done. At this point, the 2026 election as a counter to Trumpism is a false hope.
If he does do something stupid as that then that will just add to his disapproval which could be of some assistance in 2026 chuq
I still see nothing about the Democrats exploiting Trump’s fluctuating approval ratings, or calling him out on tariff lies, or the fact he plays golf all the time and lets others do his job of running the country. It’s as if the Democrat Dog has rolled over, scratched its fleas, and is now ‘playing dead’. Or maybe it’s just not reported here?
Best wishes, Pete.
There are a couple of Dems that are making noise….Bernie and AOC….talk is all they have right now but they are drawing great crowds and donations….but we shall see. chuq
The 26 elections are going to be interesting to say the least. Here in Wisconsin a “liberal” judge was just elected to the state supreme court, and she won decisively, by a bit more than 10% of the vote. That makes two supreme court elections in a row that have now gone the wrong way for the GOP. At the state level state legislature seats that were once considered safe for GOP candidates are looking at polling numbers that are virtually neck and neck. At the federal level, who knows? The congressional representative districts in Wisconsin are even more thoroughly gerrymandered than the state legislature districts are so I don’t see much of a change there.
I read about the judge…kudos to her….the longer Donny plays with people’s lives the more he will lose support I believe…..chuq
