For what it’s worth, one issue with approval polls is that they compare a known entity to an unattainable and somewhat nebulous ideal.

OH HELL YEAH! I totally trust the veracity and integrity of a poll commissioned by Ass Press, carried out by University of Chicago, and written up by a polyglot grab-bag of AP’s progressive America haters.

TOTALLY trust. Take it to the bank. Riiiight.

Rule of thumb: Media political polls aren’t meant for us. They’re designed to be raw meat for the rabid leftist supporters, to influence the independent voters, and to discourage the easily swayed conservative voters.

The AP is the worst of the worst. I doubt their polls are any better.

Well, here are 12 other polls that you can attempt to explain away. Or perhaps you can set aside your blind faith for a moment and recognize reality:

In a broad perspective one can conclude that Trump decided to accomplish big things with no interest in the electorate, mostly because the magnitude of the debt ensures complete devastation within a year or two and he will be gone by then and his accomplishments will be complete. Mostly in the field of immigration.

There is nothing he can do about the debt because there’s nothing anyone can do about the debt.

And every one of them just as left-wing biased as the next!

Figures that you being the Never Trump Troll that you are would try to push this as a reflection of reality!

Matt Towery is one of the best pollsters around. He says Trump has NEVER a polled lower than 44% . He says the media polls are garbage. They don’t know how to poll Trumps voters.

LOL. Wow.

In November of 2024, Trump had the wind at his back. His party was unified around him. The Democrats were demoralized like never before. Even the press had been brought to heal and seem ef somewhat chastened.

And Trump has somehow managed to squander it all. His second term is a disaster. It's failure theater 24/7 now

The 9th Century pig fornicating savages in Tehran are counting on the Rats taking the House and/or the Senate in November. They figure that everything will stop then. IMO we should bomb them not back to the Stone Age but back to 300,000 BC to put an and to this.

There is a lot that can be done. We can go back to the tariff which was reducing the deficit. Pro growth and repatriation of industry works. MAGA works. It takes time because Free Traitors™ really F’d up our economy.

The deficit is not the debt. The debt is the debt.
But you are right in that there are things that could be done.

It’s numbers on a screen and one could decree them to be some other number. When people talk about the debt they usually start to wave their arms and and talk about how it’s being held by China or whoever, but they generally don’t understand that “whoever” are domestic institutions or individual Americans. Erasing the debt by decree erases assets of Americans.

So yes, that can be done to address the debt. Hard to see how anyone in Congress is going to vote for that.
