How Low Can He Go?!
Trump sinks to record low approval rating due to Iran war in new poll
President Donald Trump‘s approval rating has fallen to its lowest level since he returned to the White House, as rising gas and food prices take a toll on Americans, and the public expresses a growing dislike of hiswar in Iran, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.
The weekly poll released on March 24 showed that 36% of Americans approve of Trump’s job performance, a decrease of four percentage points (40%) since a similar Reuters poll was conducted last week.
Most Americans appear angry with the president as food and gas prices have surged since the United States and Israel’s joint attack on Iran early Feb. 28. The new Reuters poll said 25% approve of how Trump is handling the current cost of living, a centerpiece of his 2024 presidential election campaign.

So many of us called this out as market manipulation when it happened. And it’s not the first time. 📌 Traders placed $580 million in oil trades 15 minutes ahead of Donald Trump’s social media post announcing a postponement of the attacks on Iran’s infrastructure.

Trump’s 💩 💩 💩 Economy:
Recession odds climb on Wall Street as economy shows cracks beneath the surface
- Economists have pulled up their risk assessments of a U.S. contraction amid heightened uncertainty over geopolitical risk and a labor market that for the past year has shown strains.
- “I’m concerned recession risks are uncomfortably high and on the rise,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “Recession is a real threat here.”
- Twin concerns about growth and unemployment have triggered talk of stagflation, a characterization that Fed Chair Jerome Powell has rejected.
- But the threat of a prolonged war, pressure on consumers and a labor market that, outside of health care, lost hundreds of thousands of jobs last year has kept concerns elevated.

From the MarKODA Files-The Unintended Consequences Edition: Conservative activist convicted in voter-fraud case
Madison, Wis. ― Conservative activist Harry Wait said he ordered ballots in the names of prominent local politicians four years ago to expose the risks of voter fraud.
Prosecutors determined he was right that voter fraud was an issue – but they believed he was the culprit.
On Tuesday night, a jury convicted Wait of one felony count of identity theft and two misdemeanor counts of election fraud, according to online court records. The jury acquitted him on a second identity theft charge. He faces a maximum penalty of seven years in prison but is unlikely to receive a punishment that severe.
The verdict came as President Donald Trump and his allies put a focus on the dangers of voter fraud and pressed Senate Republicans to abandon the filibuster and pass legislation requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and photo ID to cast ballots.

***Time for some Democratic candidates in a very crowded field drop out!!! This guy is a Nazi!
If you think the California governor’s race is a shitshow, you’re right. USC canceled tonight’s debate. It was controversial because every candidate of color was excluded, and the school’s explanation was weak. Matt Mahan entered late, was polling below Becerra, and still got an invite. 1/2
