Nine or 10 months ago, voters “thought the GOP and President Trump were the better ones to handle those two issues,” said Scott Tranter, DDHQ’s director of data science, referring to economy and immigration. “Now, at best, the voters are mixed, if not negative, on the president [and] the GOP handling those top two issues,” he added. Still, recent polling has painted an alarming picture for Trump. A Fox News poll released last week found that 38 percent of respondents approved of the way Trump handled the economy, including only a quarter of independent respondents. The poll also found 35 percent of respondents approved of his handling of tariffs, and 34 percent approved of his handling of health care. The numbers could rebound, of course, and the recent shooting of two National Guard soldiers has put renewed scrutiny on the country’s immigration policies after authorities said the suspect was an Afghan national who had come to the U.S. under a Biden-era resettlement program.https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5624360-trump-approval-ratings-fall/
When Trump first got elected I was the most rabid TDS need your liberal around. When Biden got elected, I thought Trump was not that as MSM made him out to be, they were actually exaggerating to get views. Now that Trump is beginning to be despised by the large majority of Americans, I'm beginning to have some admiration for him. The bigger the asshole, the more entertaining it is. (PS, I like well stretched yuge a-holes)
>>1461487Never trust your phones voice to text.(Also my English ain't so good)When Trump's first elected in 2016 I was the most rabid knee jerk liberal TDSer.
>>1461488This is not about politics. This is about the economy going to shit.
>>1461483>Republican states growingWho wants to be they're all cooking the books just like they covered up their covid deaths under trump?
>>1461483Might as well just use Blue for the recession shit instead of red for the most part.Everyone's fleeing an divesting from inflated Democrat economies and the Democrat voters don't know why as they vote for people who literally run on assraping them with additional taxes.
>>1461504Because Mississippi and Georgia and Kansas aren't blue states.
>>1461504Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska and Michigan all voted for Trump and tend to trend conservative for the most part.And Ohio, a state they want Vivek Ramasmarmy to win in 2026 is treading water and will almost certainly be in recession in the next 3-6 months.
>>1461504>Most of the states on this recession indicator are red>"it's all inflated dem economies!"
>>1461501Texas is only growing because they're importing millions of H1B Indian's, similar to whats happened in Canada.
>>1461483I just hope whichever Democrat America elects in 2028 to clean up this mess has the courage to only give aid to states that voted against Trump.Red states wanted this. Let them drown in it.
Alina Habba has been ruled illegal and removed by the appeals court Off to the Supreme Court now
>>1461606I don't think the SC can do much. There isn't a lot of wiggle room behind trying to loop an interim position over and over to dodge having to properly vote someone in. Not unless they want to basically cut the legislative branch out of things completely by saying the executive can do that, which will result in them getting impeached by the now pissed legislative branch.
>>1461607>Thinking the Republicans care given their end game has always been authoritarianism.
>>1461609The GOP is beginning to get uncomfortable again. Their constituents are losing health care coverage and snap benefits this month going forward. With half the states in recession and more joining in they'll be getting those boomer threats flooding their office voicemails again...REAL SOON
>>1461590Jim Tressell will be the next Ohio governor
>>1461629I think Vivek and his fellow Indians will rig the voting machines so he "wins"Unfortunately. Vivek is the worst thing for America
>>1461594Kek.Half of the states in recession voted for Trump. Thats loyalty for ya.
>>1461594>Most of the states on this recession indicator are redAll shitposting aside you are ignoring the 10 deep blue states in the north east. The ratio of blue to red states on that map is highly over representing blue states when compared to the overall ratio of blue and red states in the US
>>1461643There are only 5 New England blue states in the red on the map, Anon. It's you who is overrepresenting.
>>1461650The blue states marked as recession on the map are 9 of the 10 north eastern states:Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia.While we are on the topic of blue states in recession, let's call out the rest on the map:Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, Illinois.There are 21 states shown as in recession on that map. 13 of these recession states are blue states. The overall ratio of blue:red states in the US is roughly 19 blue to 31 red In other words, 13 of the 19 blue states are failing hard in a recession and only 8 of the 31 red states are in a recession.FACTS destroy your opinions and don't care about your feelings. Enjoy your L, savor it. Learn from it.
>>1461658Okay. And those blue states account for what % of the economy?
>>1461658The yellow states aren't in recession yet. Learn to read a map.
>>1461665>>1461664>B-but I was wrong but what about the size of Minnesotas economy, huh?You got destroyed lmao. The claim that is "all red states in a recession" is just another petty lie peddled by you busted ass shillfolk
Every expanding state is literally red.Good job.
>>1461664All states currently in recession account for about 32% of the US GDP. These include multiple states that voted for Trump in 2024. This version of the article has the numbers (sorry its linkedin but thats the only one I found with the data)https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/23-states-recession-reveal-fragility-us-economy-mark-zandi-dybre
>>1461665The yellow states, which are all about to enter into a recession in the next 3 months, account for about 34% of the US GDP.So together with states already in recession that'll be about 66% of the GDP.
>>1461677Expanding states make up less than 34% of GDP so in a few months America is fucked. Recession incoming.All that "growth" in the expanding states in being fueled by H1B indians, btw.
>>1461634It wouldn't be the first time Republicans hacked the voting machines. Remember 2004. And their attempt to steal 2012 that was stopped by Anonymous that lead to his on air melt down by Karl Rove who was 100% positive the votes would still be hacked so Romney would win.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TwuR0jCavk
>>1461684And don't forget all the GDP growth right now is only because of the AI bubble, which is why trump is going all in on it, he needs to keep the bubble going at all costs.
>>1461700Yup and that bubble is about to burst. Texas is only afloat because its doing what Canada did and is importing millions of H1B's from india. When the AI bubble pops that won't work
>>1461689They're "treading water" but that doesn't automatically mean they will go through a recession, especially during the holiday season when spending picks up.
>>1461707Estimates are a decline of about 5% this year compared to last. A few reasons are:Inflation and cost of living--Rising prices and the general cost of living are cited as the primary reasons for cutting back on spending.Economic uncertainty--Concerns about the economy are leading consumers to be more cautious with their holiday purchases.Higher prices on holiday items--Many consumers (77% in one survey) expect to see higher prices on holiday items. Credit card delinquencies--A spike in credit delinquencies is contributing to consumer caution.The recession is baked in. Brace for it as best you can.
>>1461658Good post
>>1461711oops meant for >>1461699
>>1461699Wait what I don't remember anon saving the 2012 elections for being stolen by Romney. Romney is just an off-putting guy. Classic zero charisma type.
>>1461483This is dumb as shit and I hate these fuckers.
>>1461712Shut up retard
>>1461711You said >>1461658 is a good post.>>1461712Even more reason for you to enjoy your L as stated by >>1461658
>>1461487Fuck your mudda
No one gives a shit about the Hill's made up polling numbers. Continue to be brown and seethe for three more years
>>1461716>>1461717>>1461771absolutely seething
>>1461772lol whitey can't read>A Fox News poll released last week found that 38 percent of respondents approved of the way Trump handled the economy,
I'm absolutely laughing at the seething L-tard which admitted that >>1461658 is a good post.'L' also meaning Liar as well as Loser.
>>1461775Classic denial. They refuse to believe that the majority of independent-voting Fox News viewers don't like papa Trumps economic disaster. We'll be seeing over half the states in the USA in recession by the beginning of the year. Christmas spending, yes CHRISTmas spending, is projected to be down by 5% or more. With higher prices on everything I expect everyones cutting back on buying, except those super rich 1%er's who got that kino tax break AGAIN.
>>1461933Is this all democrats have? Peer pressure and cope?
>>1461936Fox News isn't democrats.
>>1461936I'm GOP. Voted for Trump. Not impressed. He's completely failed to deliver on the economy.TRUMP. COMPLETELY. FAILED. THE. ECONOMY.
>>1461940Nah but independents still make up a large chunk of viewers. They seem to be upset with Trumps failure to address the economy as things get worse.
>>1461936Isn't that special election in Tennessee way closer than it should be? It should be a solid R win but they're talking barely squeaking by with a single digit win. Thats not a good signWhoa Tennessee is on the edge of recession??? No way.
>>1461552Yup and Tennessee is about to go into a recession as well
>>1461941Oh yeah and the fake and gay stories.
>>1461958Also, the democrat running is a socialist like Mamdani
>>1461972Whats fake and gay about voting for Trump?
>>1461977>implying you can vote
>>1461977>Whats fake and gay about voting for Trump?You voted for an Israeli shill who ran on a platform of hardcore conservative values who instead sold the nation to Blackrock and Palantir and is now speedrunning a surveillance state. Your entire political ideology is fake and gay pilpul made by spiteful jews who routinely beat you.
>>1461714The story was Karl Rove's goons left a back door into Ohio's election database to allow them to flip votes to steal the election for Romney. Anonymous found this and essentially locked the back door so the Republicans couldn't access the database to tamper with the vote tallies.This is why Karl Rove was so confident that Romney won Ohio because he just assumed his people hadn't rigged it yet while being oblivious to the fact Anonymous stopped his plan to steal 2012 dead in its tracks.Probably a good reason why trump conspired with the Russians since just hacking the elections outright and everyone knowing you did it, is a lot easier than the cloak and dagger stuff Karl Rove did to steal 2000, 2004 and attempt to steal 2012.
>>1461991god I love voting machines so much, let's have the AI vote for us next!!!!
>>1461994I'm all in favor of paper ballots only or if you have an electronic voting machine, they print out a paper ballot that confirms who you voted for.Interesting enough, republicans are against that and don't want a paper trail.We all know why, since it would make it harder for them to steal elections.
>>1461991Man that is messed up. Glad they found that out in time.
>>1461995It should be paper ballots only. So what if people have to wait a couple days for the count to finish. Better than being hacked.
>>1461991>Probably a good reason why trump conspired with the Russians since just hacking the elections outright and everyone knowing you did it, is a lot easier than the cloak and dagger stuff Karl Rove did to steal 2000, 2004 and attempt to steal 2012.Well, yeah. Doing crime is easier when nobody does anything to stop you.
>>1462000I'd be fine with electronic voting, but only if it includes printing out a full paper ballot as a receipt in case it needs to be audited. >>1462003Republicans are perfectly fine with all their crimes and democrats are too limped dick to do anything.Imagine if we had an actual tough on crimes candidate that set up a presidential crimes commission to prosecute everything trump did and also tell his supreme court to fuck themselves when they claim the president is a king.
So Trump isn't a Democrat supporter, >>1461973 ?'Mamdani is a very rational man' -TrumpYou tell me.>>1461977>TrumpOh, I dunno:>fake>His credibility>gay>He sucked 'Bubba's dick...so you tell me.
