White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson seems to be living in another country when she ignored the disastrous polling results on the US economy under Trump, instead claiming he’s delivering policies the American people care about.
Fox News host John Roberts laid out the predicament the Republican Party faces in the upcoming 2026 midterms by going back to 1992 and George H.W.Bush, who lost his presidency when the country turned on the economy.
ROBERTS: It’s a midterm year. But if you look back to 1992, for example, George H.W. Bush had a 90-something percent approval rating after the Gulf War. He lost the presidency that year because people made up their minds about the economy very early in that year. We’ve only got a few months now until the midterms.
Now for the really bad news.
ROBERTS: This Marist poll shows that the president’s not exactly firing on all cylinders when it comes to approval of his handling of the economy, 33 percent disapproving, 66, 60 percent rather.
His 33 percent approval rating is three points lower than Biden at his worst.
How does the president improve on that number before people make up their minds about the midterms?
How does Jackson handle this information?
Ignore, lie, exaggerate, and glorify Trump. Is there any other way?
