President Donald Trump is about to give his State of the Union Address to a joint session of Congress this Tuesday, February 24, just as public opinion ratings demonstrate that he is rapidly declining in support among many voter groups.
As it is, his ratings have been, depending on the poll, as low as 36 percent positive, and at best 40 percent.
The issues of the economy (Affordability), the Epstein Files Scandal, the horrors of ICE, the Health Care cuts, and now, the Supreme Court rejection of his tariffs, are all weighing on him, as he lashes out at his critics, and has personally attacked the Justices who rejected his tariffs, particularly two of his own appointments—Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett—along with Chief Justice John Roberts.
Also, Trump’s aggressive foreign policy is also alienating many voters, and his unstable rants and attacks on his critics alarm many Americans.
Various groups that made the mistake to support him in the Presidential Election of 2024 are turning strongly against him.
This includes:
White Women
Latinos
Working Class Non White Voters
Young Men
College Educated Suburban Voters
The strong Democratic gains in the off year elections in November 2025, and the gaining of seats in state legislatures and other offices in areas traditionally Republican in special elections, is also an alarm bell in the night for the upcoming Midterm Elections of 2026.
Even with mid decade redistricting occurring in Texas and elsewhere at Donald Trump’s insistence, the likelihood of Democrats taking back the House of Representatives majority, and even having a growing possibility of regaining the Senate majority, is seen as strong.
We are seeing Americans alarmed at the threat of interference by the Trump Administration on the issue of the right to vote, and attempts to restrict those who can vote.
This includes the fear that ICE might have agents at voting locations, which would be a massive threat designed to intimidate voters.

As well they should be! Actually, Huckabee SHOULD be fired immediately, but of course that won’t happen because Trump probably agrees with his insanity.
