3. That's the new norm, the 20s
This is the 2nd or 3rd recent poll that has him in the 20s. He's tanking and the blue wave is going to make 2018 look like a ripple.

Republican incumbent President George H.W. Bush lost the 1992 election to the Arkansas governor who ran on the slogan “It’s the Economy, Stupid.” Americans voted for change after being told over and over by the legacy media that the economy was dragging. But it wasn’t. It had recovered from a downturn, yet the media continued to shop the lie, carrying Bill Clinton to the presidency.

We’re now in 2026, less than two months from the midterm elections, and the legacy media, which is nothing more than the Democratic Party’s propaganda arm, is doing the same to President Donald Trump in an effort to lift the Democrats to a congressional majority.

Clinton’s campaign was centered on his claim that the economy leading up to the 1992 election was the worst “in 50 years.” It was true that Bush’s term had a rough patch that began in July 1990. But “the recession ended in March 1991,” according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, and “an expansion began at that time.”
...
While Trump’s handling of the economy is at just 35%, according to RealClearPolitics polling average, the data tell a story that the Democrats don’t want told. Instead, they want to screech about an economy they claim isn’t working for everyone, and yammer on about affordability hardships their policies have caused. Naturally, the media are happy to amplify the message. After all, electing Democrats is, as they see it, their job.

So they ignore:

* An unemployment rate of 4.1%, having fallen from a high for Trump’s second term of 4.5% in November 2025.

* Total employment growth in August of 569,000 to 162.75 million.

* Modest inflation in August outside of gasoline and related crude products — “not exactly” the “cost of living crisis, as so many claim,” says Powerline.
* The Dow Jones Industrial Average hitting a record high in August.

* An economy that is expanding and a central bank that “appears to be its most optimistic about the economy since it first start publishing forecasts in 2011,” reports Market Watch.

The Committee to Unleash Prosperity says that Trump’s first year of his second nonconsecutive term “was a miracle year for U.S. economy.” The highlights include the lowest child poverty rate ever recorded, down a percentage point from 2024; household earnings reaching a historical high, with incomes for the lowest 25% hitting their the highest level ever; and Hispanic and black poverty sinking to all-time lows.

Pissed off 90 year old woman...

Earlier today I dropped a friend off at the clinic for a doctor's appt. Later as I was waiting in the pickup line to get her an older woman slowly walked past on her way to the parking lot. She was walking with a cane and struggling a bit. I rolled down my window and asked her if I could her help her in any way.

She responded that she was okay but she was sort of pissed. She told me some of her polio symptoms had returned. She went on to explain that she was 90 years old and she first got polio in 1942. We went on to share about friends and family members who had polio and the fact that it can come back.

Then she went on to talk about the stupid parents who won't vaccinate their kids and how much she hates that Kennedy kid.

BWAHAHAHA! Krasnov Refuses To Meet With Bibi

Bibi is in the US expected to give a speech at the UN today. It was expected that Krasnov and Bibi would meet with each other.

Krasnov is shunning Bibi because people are saying that Krasnov is upset with Bibi because he promised the Iran war would only last 3 or 4 days. Bibi ****ed Krasnov royally, he wants an ongoing war to keep him in power, however, the ongoing war is ****ing Magats chances of winning our election. A con man conned another con man. Oh and Prince Bone Saw was all for the war also and he is getting hit with Houthi karma.

I'm hoping for this on election day:

Gas - $6/gal
Diesel - $8/gal.

Hey folks, it's our best chance to win the election, campaign speeches write themselves.
