The key number in the most recent CNN Poll

The CNN poll this morning has horrible numbers for Trump. 36% to 63% for a net minus 27%. Losses among all demographic groups. But the number I watch for in any of these polls is the strongly approve vs strongly disapprove. Those are the folks who are more likely to make it to the polls in midterms. Inside the cross tabs in this CNN poll is 48% strongly disapprove of Trump, while just 19% strongly approve. That's a net of minus 29%. Wow.

that he doesn’t care about them.

It just shows how wealthy we are, when 30% of the population can throw away 250 years of relative stability for a charlatan.

I mean, fuck, he told them that at a rally.

He said he only cares about their vote.

Trump and the MAGA GOP know the tide has turned, that Trump's unpopularity is off the charts. He might be the most despised political figure in American history. Those courting the Mad King know it, too. They're in too deep, broken too many laws and betrayed the country's foundational principles to give up the fight. They know their asses and necks are on the line. Think Stephan Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, etc..

Think crimes against humanity.

They and everyone who propped them up will do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to stay in power and avoid accountability.

And yes, we must be ready. Because it's coming.

Most presidents get a bump from the SOTU, I don't think that will be the case this year. It will highlight everything people hate about him, the selfishness, the cruelty, the constant bragging, and the incoherence.

I think this will be his last SOTU, next year it will be canceled as he'll not want to go through the humiliation again.

Strongly approves of trump, after all that is known about him, is very disheartening for me.

14. Only 65% of Americans could call Hitler "Completley Bad"

In the poll, one of the questions put to group was: "Do you think of Adolf Hitler as...?" with six possible responses, ranging from "A completely good person" to "Not sure."
Only 1% of participants chose the unqualified response "A completely good person" and another 4% chose "A good person who did some bad things."

Among responses representing mixed views, 7% thought Hitler was "an equally good and bad person" and 12% said he was "a bad person who did some good things."

Sixty-five percent of respondents called Hitler "a completely bad person" and 12% responded "Not sure."

After reading this, it's easy to understand that 19% of Americans strongly support Trump.

And Trump is the least likable human possible. The people that strongly like Trump are likely very awful yet stupid people. The type of people unlikely to show up if Trump isn't on the ballot. Most other people have started tuning Trump out. The daily me me me me is really draining.
