Interesting info from Economist polling

[Pototan]

The Economist polling tracker of Trump's approval has one glaring fact that I find very interesting. If you scroll down to the net approval by states and click on Texas, it's minus 17. that is consistent with every swing state, higher than some and in line with the net disapproval of Virginia (-18).

1. Thanks for the link.

2. When I check the states

the largest decrease from the 2024 election for Trump are in states with heavy Latino populations, especially Texas. This movement foretells big gains in the House for Democrats.

5. Hopefully. But Texas was redistricted to heavily favor Republicans.

Maybe five Democratic seats were left. But they pulled enough from some previously safe Republican seats that I'm hopeful that the backlash to Trump will cause the Rs to lose some of those.

It's encouraging.

6. The Repukes were convinced

that the shift of Latino voters to Trump and the Republicans was permanent. These polls show that's not the case. The redistricting will backfire

9. "From your lips to God's ears!"

I do think the ground is shifting under Texas Republicans. But they are masters of propaganda, and we seem to be somewhat clueless on messaging and branding. So I'm on tenterhooks about it.
