14. I agree but polls are all we got...

Certainly, the "poll" numbers Trump always quotes are no doubt taken from his Cabinet officers or the West Wing staffers. But I look at the "approve" numbers more than the "disapprove" because they indicate (to me) the unwavering support of the MAGA base. I'm waiting and hoping for the "something that directly impacts them" to get the ≈40% down to 30% or lower.

The "final poll" at the ballot box is my #1 concern at this point. I'm not at all confident the 2026 election will be valid, reliable, and legitimate...just another election. Trump has too much to lose if the Dems regain control.
