The question is whether Democrats can make Trump’s horrendous polling matter. We need to use it to peel off Republican votes in the House and Senate – and make members of his administration think twice about implementing the very worst of their planned unconstitutional Project 2025 policies.
I doubt we can do much for it legislatively. At least against republicans. It might help Schumer get around to finding his spine, at least...
Most republican officials provide their vote when it's necessary. Bacon and Collins might represent places that dems won handily but they only moderate themselves superficially. I doubt that's going to change in the next 18 months.

Trump might be blinking on the tarriffs so we could see some turnaround there.
He's losing the "i don't like what he's doing but i'll vote for him over any democrat" crowd, he lost those people in his first term too.

And Fox has it 44-55. The Times finally has an approval graph up.
