Is the Dems’ Worst Nightmare Coming True?
PJ Media ^ | 18 May 2025 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 05/18/2025 11:08:19 AM PDT by Rummyfan

By now, you’ve heard the narrative from the media that President Trump’s approval ratings are in the toilet, that Americans are sour on the economy and blame Trump, and that basically Trump is the cause of all of our problems. Heck, even Trump voters have buyer’s remorse.

That’s what we’re supposed to believe, anyway.

Make no mistake about it, nothing could be further from the truth, and in reality, Democrats have every reason to be panicking right now. Why? Because Trump’s popularity is surging in a blue state.

How could the country be revolting against Trump when Trump's popularity is surging in the deep blue state of New Jersey? According to a new Emerson College/Pix 11/The Hill poll, Trump is now viewed more favorably than New Jersey Democratic Governor Phil Murphy.

The numbers tell the devastating story for Democrats. Trump holds a 47% approval rating among New Jersey voters, with 47% disapproving and 6% undecided. Meanwhile, Murphy is underwater with a pathetic 40% approval rating and 45% disapproving. Make no mistake about it -- this is a stunning development in a state that Democrats have dominated for decades.

That’s hard for even Chris Christie to swallow.

check the Rasmussen daily poll, Trump is holding steady where he has been basically his entire term so far at around 50% approval.

It sure would help if the Republican Party supported him.

I hope it’s already baked in, but I am concerned about Moody’s downgrade of Federal debt.

Factually, it may not mean much, but the Democrat bulls#it machine will want to blow this up into a very difficult situation. Never mind that the Democrats and RINOs caused it. The Democrat machine will make Trump own this.

Interest rates rise, homebuilding and real estate get crushed, deficits rise as interest payments increase. Panic and finger-pointing rise.

This could get ugly unless the Fed lowers interest rates. But they may not want to do that because they hate Trump.

These polls are crap and we all know it. They have always been a way to shape opinion but it’s not working anymore.

These polls are crap and we all know it. They have always been a way to shape opinion but it’s not working anymore.

The only people who answer phone calls from pollsters are Boomers. Everyone else hangs up on them or doesn't answer their phone at all. Same with the text polls that they send. Most delete them.

Polling today is beyond useless and forces pollsters to basically try to divine the answers from those who ignore their calls.

That’s hard to believe. Christie could swallow Trenton and have room left over for Atlantic City.

"Divine the answers" - you're too mild. Pollsters lie and cheat, just like the libs do with election fraud. If someone honestly answers a poll with info favoring President Trump and MAGA policies, they will discard those responses! Not just divine, but discard. That's how Kamala Harris was favored in polls to win in 2024.

The neomarxist leaders have coined "#TrumpSlump" but they are just throwing chicken feed to their chickens to keep them quiet.

Meanwhile you heard wig-whomping Jasmeen Crockoshit say out loud that Gruesome is using this moment to consolidate the Democrat billionaire donor base -- nutroots like Reid Huffman -- to simply overwhelm AOC in the early primaries, which in 2028 are actually front-loaded to favor AOC!

January

Tuesday, February 1:Tuesday, February 22:And that's IT until ...

Super Tuesday, March 7


Rep. Jasmine Crockett Says Dems Already Backing 'Safest White Boy' for President in 2028: 'One Specific Candidate'

"The group is speaking about potential candidates when Crockett offers her insight. "It is, it is this fear that the people within the party, within the primary system, will have about voting for a woman because every time we voted for a woman, we've lost," she explained. 'So there's a lot of people that are like, you know what? Like, let's go find the safest white boy we can find. I mean, I'm just saying," she added.

"No, for real. And to be clear, when we talk about them, I can tell you that there is one specific candidate," Crockett continued. "I had a donor on the phone with me telling me that all the donors are lining up behind that candidate. So I can tell, and I tell you, it's not a black person nor a woman, okay?" The party -- or "they" as she put it -- "When I say 'they,' it's the same donors that most likely had their opinions about Joe Biden and moved ... So like, that would be the 'they' that I would talk about," she said."

Here's the thing, and we're going to hear a lot more about this.

2028 NH Dem primary figures a toss-up right now, but if Bernie genuinely ends the flirtation and actually coronates AOC as the t!tular new figurehead of the BernieBros, she will win NH and cause a yuge conflagration within the establishment DNC.

Because Butt will win Iowa with AOC 2nd and possible Gruesome going 3rd-3rd NH-IA.

The only counter-weight Gruesome can hope for is to do like Biden 2020 and put all his chips on SC (but without Biden's threat, er, 'agreement' to 'clear the field' in 2020 of everyone not named Biden, and that is never happening again), and that is why Gruesome is lining up these donors NOW.

If AOC goes 1-2-2 NH-IA-SC, and then wins NV-NY? She'll win MI and then we have a real shot at making her the candidate, because Gruesome will have been beaten down by the MSM by the time Super Tuesday rolls around, and if the DNC attempts to cheat Bernie or his successor for the 4th time in a row, he'll burn the Democrat party down.

We need to help make that happen, because JDV will run rings around that silly bitch.

The dems have always had only one strategy, that their opponents fail, Republicans only have to do what is good for America and Americans. The Republicans are so RINO though, that they take advice from their opponents. TRUMP knows that when America does good, all Americans prosper. Democrats have to hope for failure or cause failure to win, which they willingly promote.

The New York Times believes Trump’s approval ratings are so high because voters aren’t reading trusted sources of news.

Headline:

“One Thing Helping Trump’s Approval Rating: Some People Are Not Paying Attention”

“Voters were more likely to approve of President Trump’s job performance if they had not been following some of the major news stories of his first 100 days in office, a recent New York Times/Siena College poll found.”

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/05/18/polls/trump-job-approval-news-attention.html


Poor NYTimes. Voters have tuned them out and they are concerned that people aren’t getting their daily dose of TDS reporting to negatively affect their viewpoint of Trump .

MSN is carrying a clickbait of the leftist Robert Reich claiming the sleeping giant of American wrath against Trump is being awakened.

It’s actually the other way around.

People who were afraid to say anything due to the end of free speech can now say they don’t want their kids watching drag queen shows at assemblies or being turned into sex change candidates by teachers, they don’t want to pay Soc.Sec. and Medicare taxes all their lives and watch illegal aliens get full government benefits and housing their first day here and they want only US citizens with photo ID to vote in US elections.

And if the criminal illegal aliens abduct, rape and kill girls and women, invade homes, carjack and get away with it thanks to the Supreme Court pansies letting them stay here while they wait for distant court dates and law firms to
protect them from deportation———the true sleeping giant of justice from the citizenry will replace the totally inept and fault ridden “system of justice” that has led us to near destruction.

I’ve never had a call from a pollster. But then, I never answer calls from anyone who’s not on my call list. Some unknowns leave messages, which I do listen to. 9 out of 10 are junk calls.

Yes. Resorting to taking polls in the little lawn area behind the CNN building where workers take their breaks gets a lot of distortion in the results.

Good point. He must have Napoleon Syndrome.
“People with Napoleon Syndrome symptoms may develop a strong desire to prove themselves in social, professional, or personal settings. This can lead to behaviors such as overcompensation, increased competitiveness, or even aggression.”


“Robert Reich has multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, a form of dwarfism also known as Fairbank’s disease.”
He is 4 feet 11.

His disability wasn’t said to affect his mental development.

But as Michael Savage wrote in his book: Liberalism Is A Mental Disease.
So is Trump Derangement Syndrome.
