Mary Trump - They Can't Win, So They're Cheating

Donald’s poll numbers are collapsing. They are now sitting in the low thirties, the lowest of his second term, and the Republican Party understands exactly what that means. If this trend continues, they are heading toward a devastating loss in the midterm elections. The House of Representatives is almost certainly at risk, and even the Senate, which seemed untouchable just months ago, is now in play.

There is every reason to believe those numbers will continue to fall. The economy is struggling, driven largely by two policies Donald is directly responsible for: tariffs and his illegal and unconstitutional war of choice in Iran. Historically, the party in power tends to lose seats in midterm elections even under stable conditions. Voters shift, expectations change, and dissatisfaction accumulates. But this is not a typical environment. Americans are not simply restless. They are frustrated, and they have tangible reasons to be.

Donald returned to office with approval ratings above fifty percent, which in itself should have raised serious concerns. Just over a year later, those numbers have dropped dramatically, in some cases as low as thirty three percent. Even Republican strategists are warning that the party is facing a brutal electoral landscape.

Back in Donalds first term, support among independents who leaned Republican was around 73 percent at this point. Now it has dropped to just 53 percent.
