Trump Approval Skyrocketing, But So Is Democrat Engagement

Despite the unrelenting attacks on President Trump--or, perhaps, among Republicans BECAUSE of those attacks from the Pravda Media and the Democrats--President Trump's approval rating is bouncing back.

In fact, were it not for Trump's highly negative approval numbers among black voters--driven, I suspect, but older Black voters' still-strong loyalty to the Democratic Party--his numbers would likely be firmly in the positive approval territory.

No doubt that most Americans who trust the Pravda Media would be surprised by the jump in approval--we keep hearing about how upset ordinary Americans are with Trump and his administration. But, as you can see, that spreading of rage and disappointment is a mirage, or more accurately, just another Pravda Media hoax. 

There IS one group that is getting increasingly angry and desperate, and that is left-wing Democrats who are watching both their financial lifeline and their electoral prospects crumble. They are angry, mobilized, and ready to do anything to stop the bleeding and inflict damage on the Republican Party in general and Trump in particular. 

This matters. It matters a lot, actually. A large part of Trump's base is motivated by supporting Donald Trump, not the Republican Party as a whole. And many of them are pretty satisfied with how things are going and less inclined to get off their butts and continue to fight, and that is resulting in those motivated Democrats being able to win elections in which they otherwise should have no chance.

Special elections are low-turnout affairs, and with Democrats highly motivated and Republicans enjoying their metaphorical post-prandial glow, we are facing the possibility of a slate of losses in elections that should be cakewalks, and potential wipeouts in those that should be winnable. 

In Wisconsin, there is an enormously important Supreme Court election that could determine the balance of the US House of Representatives in the next session. The Court can rule on Congressional District boundaries, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court is currently controlled by liberals. If the liberal wins this race, Republicans could lose two--two!--Congressional seats in a redistricting shakeup. 

The election is next Tuesday and the spending we have seen rivals that of US Senate races in recent years. It is THAT important. 

Chances are good that every public employee, teachers' union member, academic, and blue-haired harpy will get out to vote. Republicans must as well, or the electoral mountain we have to climb in 2026 will get that much steeper and more treacherous.

So, while the good news is very real, so is the danger of becoming so complacent that our winning streak will come to an abrupt halt due to nothing more sinister than voter satisfaction on our side and rage on the side of the left. 

If I were the Democrats, I would surround every polling place with Teslas and invite people to come vandalize it before they go in and vote and hold a lottery for the chance to win a Molotov Cocktail to deliver the coup de gras. 

That would appeal to their voting base. We need to find the magic motivator to get ours out next Tuesday.
