The economy is most important heading into 2026.
GOP is forever in denial but independent and swing voters do care about healthcare.
Does this mean the public wants perverts grooming kids?
Lol.
A perfect symmetry.
Mass deportations are the only realistic solution for the economy—and the retention of our republic.
What does Trump have to do with Medicare and Social Security? What a stupid question. This is why universal suffrage was a big mistake.
It’s good to see him doing well with the core issues like immigration, energy, taxes, and foreign policy. I will like to see the economy number get better as the dropping inflation numbers help to improve things.
Immigration was most important by far in 2024.
All we need is some more outrageous murders by illegals in 2026, and illegal immigration will be the number one issue again.
Don’t project.
And this is a terrible idea: https://nypost.com/2025/12/05/us-news/trump-to-tour-nation-with-economic-pitch-as-dems-hone-maaa-affordability-attack/
The last thing we need is Trump going around telling people how much more affordable he’s made the economy, with 50-year mortgages, tiny cars, and all.
The economy is a problem. It’s Trump’s strong suit and what he ran and was elected on. There are signs of improvement but not enough.
Take gas prices. Good trend, but when Trump left office it was $2.63/gal. and it doesn’t cost any more to pump or refine it today than it did then. It’s all price manipulation.
He needs to find a way to get credit for the tariff revenue cuz to many poeple they just aren’t seeing it as a plus yet.
Kind of unfair. The NYT had an article about how gay men are the power base in the administration.
No, stupid would be just sitting back and let the Dems define the issue.
I’m glad you can pipe up when we’re looking for an example of stupid.
It doesn’t look like the economy is going to be fixed, neither will healthcare.
The former because many people have a fundamental misunderstanding of the relationship between government (over)spending and inflation. The Democrats talk about the “affordability crisis” but their solutions will only make things worse. Republicans have not been much better on this issue.
On healthcare we are in the loot-the-treasury phase of civilizational decline. Nothing has been done anything to stop the pillaging of our economy for over 40 years. Healthcare costs alone are enough to trigger a sovereign debt crisis. Here’s an article from over a decade ago on the subject:
The CERTAIN Destruction Of Our Nation
https://www.market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=231561
“We have willfully and intentionally, as a nation, ignored this issue for the last decade and we are now facing the destruction of our economy, our markets, our government, our society and our way of life if we do not put a stop to the pillaging of our economy and people NOW.”
New Fed Chair and Scott Bessant will have the economy in a much better place by Q2.
What does Trump have to do with Medicare and Social Security? What a stupid question. This is why universal suffrage was a big mistake.

And abortion. Not a Fed Problem. States determine.
These numbers aren’t bad for Trump when the 90%+ negative coverage is considered.
How heavy did they oversample Dims?
