The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Nah..only with the left, dems and certain members of this Board.

RealClearPolitics tracks not only the general approval rating for Trump, but also tracks his approval ratings on certain specific issues: the economy, foreign policy, immigration, crime, Russia-Ukraine, and Israel-Palestine. Links at bottom.

On the economy, foreign policy, Russia/Ukraine, and immigration Trump's approval rating is underwater. Only on crime issues is he even. He's significantly underwater on the Israel/Palestinian conflict as well, but since most of that polling doesn't reflect the recent cease-fire I think most of us would agree that the tracker probably doesn't reflect current opinion.

But no - it's not just "the left" and "dems." Voters generally disapprove of what Trump's doing on the issues. However, voters show no desire to switch to Democrats or to trust them any more on those issues than they do Trump, so he's probably not especially concerned by any of this.
