Trump is sinking fast over the affordability crisis and the Epstein files

It’s no exaggeration to say that most Americans are extremely unhappy with Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Voters hold Trump responsible for what might be called the “affordability crisis.” And the Epstein saga shows no sign of loosening its grip on the discourse. Deep and broad discontent is plain to see across several recent polls.

Throughout the summer and fall, Democrats have been gaining on the generic ballot across multiple surveys. This week, those gains are starting to look like insurmountable leads.

NPR/PBS/Marist findings released Wednesday show Democrats up 55–41. Among independents, Democrats lead by an astounding 33 points. A 14-point advantage overall would overcome any redistricting hijinks and put solid red congressional districts within reach for Democratic hopefuls.

In the most recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, Trump’s approval is at a new low—just 38%. The negative trend among Republicans has accelerated this month. Ipsos found that in early November, 87% of Republicans (already a remarkably low number) approved of Trump; this week, that number has slipped by 5 points.

If this was before gerrymandering, the Democrats would win 75% of the races. Now only 60%. Let's see next year and I hope I'm wrong.
