According to polls, which notoriously lie about Trump.

IOW, it's worthless bullshit.

Polls poll, they don't lie, unless they are like OAN or prophecynow

ALL polls are bullshit. There is so much political hatred right now between the two parties I don't trust anything I hear anymore.

With the midterms nearing, President Trump’s approval rating has hit a second-term low as voters question his handling of the economy, according to the latest New York Times/Siena poll.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/us/politics/poll-trump-republicans-midterms-iran.html

Most voters think President Trump made the wrong decision to go to war with Iran, a New York Times/Siena poll found, leaving the Republican Party on rocky political footing heading into the midterm elections as his approval rating sinks and economic concerns rise.

Majorities of voters said that the war was not worth the costs and held deeply pessimistic views about the economy.

Mr. Trump’s approval rating — a key historical predictor of how a president’s party will fare in an election — has sunk to a second-term low in Times/Siena polls of 37 percent amid the deeply unpopular Middle East conflict.

Nearly two-thirds of voters said that going to war had been the wrong decision, including almost three-quarters of politically crucial independents. Less than a quarter of all voters thought the conflict had been worth the costs.

Trump's War is very unpopular. He is cratering our economy and destroying reputation. NOW he thinking putting U.S. Ground Forces in Iran (WWIII). This is what the Republicans have wrought.

Wait until the effects of this............

Trump have had victories,

Among MAGA supporters. The general election is a completely different animal, as you will see.

So tell me, what ideas will democrats run on to defeat these Trump supporters?

I hear Turkey is next

Turkey has always been a supposed 'ally' that I don't trust as far as I can throw them.

 

[j-mac]

So tell me, what ideas will democrats run on to defeat these Trump supporters?

They'll never answer that, because they don't have any ideas other than hate Trump, and hate Trump supporters.

According to polls, which notoriously lie about Trump.

IOW, it's worthless bullshit. Nobody believes Trump is that far down in the polls. The last time you did, 2024 hit you in the ass, the time before that, 2016 slapped you real good.

You'd think you'd learn, but nope, just keep trusting these biased polls that prove to be wrong time after time because they say what you want them to say. It's really hilarious.

Trump notoriously lies about polls. Sounds like projection.

They will make it a referendum on Trump.

It doesnt matter where they are today. Where will they be in Oct. The war settles the DOW takes off, the economy is growing, jobs are up, crime down and all democrats have is men in womens bathrooms, criminals set free, and NAZIs communists and socialists running for office

This graph shows exactly how bad Trump's rating is, compared to Biden's and Obama's, all president's that have been strongly criticized and given a thumb's down in a big way:

Trump is considered the WORST among those 3.............even worse than Biden. This is a big WOW!

They will make it a referendum on Trump.

2024 was already a referendum on Trump.

2024 was already a referendum on Trump.

And now there will be one on his second term performance. Thats what midterms are about.

 

[JohnDB]

And the amazing part is how the OP believes what he is saying to be true....

When literally EVERY fact based forecast shows that there is not a single platform that the Democrats are currently winning on.

The smart money is currently trying to infiltrate the feckless and amoral members of the Republicans....because Democrats are DOA.

If your side's only strategy is to keep screaming, "we hate Trump and so should you!" I can't really predict a good outcome for you.
