Are We Winning?
February 24, 2025 by John Hinderaker
Democrats believe that the Trump administration has overreached and is rapidly becoming unpopular. Thus, the New York Times headlines: “Republicans Face Angry Voters at Town Halls, Hinting at Broader Backlash.”
After a monthlong honeymoon for the G.O.P. at the start of President Trump’s term, lawmakers are confronting a groundswell of fear and disaffection in districts around the country.
Longtime Democratic consultant James Carville says that the Trump administration is in the “midst of a collapse” and will crumble in the next four to six weeks. He cites polling data in support of that optimistic (for his party) prediction.
The Democrats think, in particular, that Elon Musk is unpopular and his DOGE efforts are meeting voter resistance. Virtually every time a Democratic Party newspaper mentions Musk, it describes him as the world’s richest man, in a transparent effort to turn public opinion against him and against efforts to cut the federal budget.
But at the moment, Republicans are giddy over the Harvard/Harris poll that came out this morning. The Harvard/Harris press release emphasizes the fact that 58% of voters are more satisfied with Donald Trump’s administration than with Joe Biden’s–admittedly, a low bar. The same poll finds approval of the Democratic Party at only 36%, while GOP approval is at 51%.
