This has got to be scary for the White House, given the president's recent foreign policy success, successes to end wokeness, and change the country in a better direction. I suspect the reason for his low approvals is the economy. It doesn't suck, but it's still not good enough to make up for the lack of purchasing power lost during the Biden years. One reason has to be higher tariffs; they are a tax increase falling primarily on Middle America and it appears at least for now they not being offset enough by AI productivity gains, or the supply-side push of deregulation and the extension of the tax cuts. I know the stock market appears to be signaling better times ahead, but stocks are addicted to cheap money, and Powell has signaled lower interest rates to deal with economic headwinds, which isn't good for main street -- aka most American voters -- who aren't heavily invested in stocks. Meanwhile, gold prices are soaring sending mixed signals about the dollar and inflation. Lots of mixed economic signals on top of the reality that midterms are always difficult for the party in power. Story developing as they say...
Or it could be due to stuff like this:
"During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she 'doesn’t look like' a Greeley."
Everybody’s still blaming all of this on Trump v US. But the truth is, all that did was slow down the federal criminal trials. (He was gonna get elected anyway, and was, despite the criminal fraud conviction in NY.) Trump came into office determined to do as he wished, and fired anyone who could stop him (he’s still doing that). Worse than the immunity case, the Sinister Six allowed him to do that, and tacitly approved Kavanaugh’s utterly racist and unconstitutional concurring opinion on ICE/Feds police activity.
I’m sure they’re all very proud right now.
