A three-percent drop may not seem huge, but given the tight margins of many races, and how persistent Trump's baseline has otherwise been, it's kind of a big deal.

I doubt a 'realignment' election because MAGA evades all rationality and capacity to learn. But if Trump is making them demotivated, it's possible this election could be a big one. It really depends on turn-out.

Trump isn't up for reelection this year of course. But his party is. Polling right now says to me: MAGA is demotivated. Even if they won't admit it, they are. Some of them have given up on Trump, and others likely just are demotivated to vote. That's good.

The media for years has focused on Trump's low approval ratings. The issue is, our system is anti-democratic, averse to the will of the people. In a sane country, Trump would be unelectable given his consisten unpopularity. Given his baseline, we can assume he needs at least that to win.

It is absolutely asinine, frankly political suicide, how loyal Republic congresspeople are to Trump. Shattering the illusion of a mandate could hobble the second half of Trump's term.

He blew up the White House and we still are struggling to get them to care. Abysmal.

This is the first poll I'm aware of in ten years showing Trump dropping below 36%. Might be some others out there in the wild, but this is breaking into 'Maga is collapsing' territory. Low thirties are where we want to see polling IMO. Obviously the only correct number is 0.

Everyone loves a class traitor

You could absolutely ignore renewables entirely, and still think coal is dead because of natural gas.

This isn't political. This is logic. Coal is bar-none the worst form of energy available we have, nothing costs more to produce energy with worse environmental impacts. Even if renewables were out of the picture, natural gas has gradually been replacing coal for decades.

I am more confident *Sears* will exist in fifty years than coal.

I am more confident that *Blockbuster* which has a single store, will exist in twenty five years than coal in America.

I believe virtually everyone reading this today will see the death of coal in the USA.

I am more confident Labubu will still exist in one hundred years than coal.

The Trump regime has had to *force* coal power plants to stay open. Their operators don't want to. They'd rather stick with natural gas or move on to solar and actually make money. It's a dead industry.

I think Democrats could, with very little actual fall-out, personally insult every coal industry worker and say they're going to destroy their jobs. Sure, West Virginia will be lost...but it already was.

We should actually just ban the coal industry and be done with it. Almost no lasting negatives.

I am begging Democrats to just openly be blunt that coal is fucking a dead industry, and stop worrying about impressing nonexistent coal workers. This is pure lunacy and I want someone to point it out.

I believe the Pony Express will lead in package carrying services by the time I die. All Amazon Packages will be delivered by Pony. Of course, letters will be delivered via Homing Pigeon.

Please celebrate with me and the rest of the people of Connecticut in schadenfreude. I wish today to be a state holiday.

Still going to sit on my soap box until it drops to the low thirties. Not getting my hopes up.

If you have such lax standards for how people, especially children, deserve to be treated that your standards permit this as a reasonable cost, you and I cannot be friends.

The gun-rightist comprehension of freedom turns the concept on its head, and if I believed in their understanding of freedom, I'd be an authoritarian. Freedom would logically be nothing more than a fanciful and dangerous idea to be squashed out of the hearts and minds of mankind.

If this is the 'price of freedom' then freedom is a vice and I don't want it.

Dem's: You have your front-runner 😂

Nah you violated that man lol.

I have never read a Clarence Thomas opinion that came off as anything more than pompous and ass-backwards.

I propose we impeach him in twenty thirty three specifically to have one year over him. No Justice in history has been more impeachable than Thomas. No liberal made his life miserable forty three years. He's just a narcissitic blow-hard who was never qualifed to be Justice.

Ultimately, I believe the people of California should elect whoever is going to build the most housing.

As for my opinion on California Governor: Steyer is seeming pretty cool.

I love the great state of Maine and hope that your Senator is someone to be proud of; i.e. not Susan Collins the traitor to New England.

I am once again saying I am sorry we lack ranked-choice voting and thus have a party system that expects several different types of voters to all vote for the same candidate. Yes this is lunacy. But you just have to accept the person you vote for sucks slightly less than the alternative sometimes.
