When Biden was at 42%, he was a "failed President the Country no longer supported"

Trump at 42% is still the unquestioned leader that America follows.

Funny that.

Mental decline than Trump's complete loss of his grip on reality. But thats because the media is so liberal.

Donvict’s first term had him in the low 40’s and even dipping into the 30’s most or the time. That was despite riding on the coattails of the steady Obama/Biden economy and Agent Orange didn’t get as much scrutiny on his popularity as Biden has.

That is the right wing machine churning out talking points and the rest of the media, especially “podcasts”, take the bait. Click bait, that is.

Trump has always flooded the zone with soooo many corrupt and ignorant things he does that you cannot focus on a-one of them. Whereas, going after Bidens’age so relentlessly becomes a self-fufilling prophecy that results in his popularity, thus effectiveness, tanking.

It was all designed 40 years ago with the takeover of AM radio, the media, and now, the internet “new “media. The Right creates the reality they want you to feel and the stenographers, that are modern political reporters , are on the hamster wheel feedback loop.

I think it more has to do with people just not looking at any News. They don't know anything about DOGE or what is happening with ICE. They just know they still have a job. When he sinks the economy, they will turn. All but 30-35% in his Cult.

He went down cause the market was tanking day after day. Now that the market has rebounded he’s gained some support back.
