ome hope for the country heading into the weekend. Trump's approval ratings continue to slide in states that are key to his reelection. His NET approval ratings, according to the latest poll:
New Hampshire: 19 net approval
Wisconsin: -13
Michigan: -12
Iowa: -12
Pennsylvania: -7
Arizona: -6
Ohio: -4
North Carolina: -4
Voters recognize that Trump has failed to deliver on his economic promises, instead delivering huge tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations that haven't trickled down. His tariffs are taking a toll on the agricultural and manufacturing sectors. His refusal to comply with congressional subpoenas is undermining the rule of law.
These are good signs, but we must remain mobilized and united. There's a lot that could happen between now and Election Day. What do you think?
