I have been reliably informed many times that “it’s the economy stupid” and that nothing really matters but kitchen table issues to American voters. If that’s so, these polls should give some of us pause.
Here we have the WSJ with questions about the economy:
By 52 -44% people disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy.
How about the tariffs?
They don’t like them. But Trump still has an approval rating in the high 40s. Why?
A majority really likes the way Trump is treating immigrants. In fact, it makes them so happy they are willing to lose their retirement funds and pay twice as much for everything in order to enjoy the experience.
Maybe these numbers will change. But right now, Trump’s approval rating is being held up by his draconian immigration policies. It’s the cruelty, stupid.
