    “The survey also found 63% of the public is pessimistic about the current state of the economy, including 35% of Republicans, a six-point point increase from July and the highest percentage of Republicans with negative views about the economy during either of Trump’s terms.”

    2/3 of Republicans think he’s doing fine.

      think he’s doing

      Pessimism/optimism is about the future, not current reality.

      2/3s think it’ll still work out, but a third of his base don’t

      That’s huge, literally more than it’s ever been, right before the midterms that can decide House/Senate.

      And if we pull one or both, there won’t be any pressure to go with Schumer/Jefferies from a corrupt DNC. We can see actual leadership again.
