Why Americans never care about Trump’s policy promises until after he’s elected is one of the most frustrating aspects of the 2016 and 2024 campaigns. He told you exactly what he was going to do and you voted for him thinking (regardless of what he said he would do) that he would be better for the economy from some mystery magical illogical thinking not once, but twice. The stupidity hurts and now America will suffer.

One other note on this poll: If (key word) Trump and Republicans get only 51% (those who approve of his actions) of the white vote in 2026 (long way off I know), Democrats need to be thinking again about and planning right now about competing in states that’ve moved away from them since Obama was elected (and in some cases far away): Florida, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Ohio and add in Alaska and Texas as seats moving towards Democrats slowly for good measure. In addition of course to the usual swing states.

It’s also possible these numbers get worse or that they get better. Regardless, best to prep now so if it does actually happen, Democrats can ride the blue wave to not only a House Majority, but a possible Senate Majority as well.

Excellent points, couldn’t agree more. Also really liked your comments on the Canadian election.
