A new Emerson College national survey finds President Trump holds a 39% job approval rating, while 55% disapprove of the job the president is doing.

On the 2026 midterm election generic ballot, the Democratic candidate holds a 10-point lead over the Republican candidate, 50% to 40%.

I think a lot of pain will be felt and a lot of people will get broken between then and now due solely to his policies, and I think that's going to be a major contributor to a GOP loss this fall-- Mr. trump is simply out of touch with the effects his failed policies have on the people and I think the conservatives will get the stink eye this time around.

Nothing can stop the Blue Tsunami.
