This afternoon, preposterously, frothy hard right bloggers try to paint a false portrait of Tangerine 2.0 -- as a popular preznit. He is no such thing. But lies are these bloggers' stock in trade, so we just smirk -- at the silliness.
Their own graphs show about 10% more people strongly disapprove of him, than strongly approve of him -- with both of those numbers well below 50% overall, in the latest Rasmussen polling.
However, when we leave behind polls that over sample GOP households (Cough! Rasmussen!), and look at non-partisan Quinnipiac polling out today -- the picture is deeply troubling for DOGE / Musk / Trump 47 / MAGA. See this, from an East Coast paper:
. . .According to the poll released Thursday, 42% of voters approve of how Trump is handling the job, while 54% disapprove. This compares to Trump's 45% approval and 49% disapproval ratings in Quinnipiac's Feb. 19 poll. . . .
Elon Musk, one of Trump's top advisers, registered even lower marks with 36% approval and 57% disapproval. Further, only 40% said Musk's newly created Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, was helping the country, as opposed to 54% who said it was hurting the U.S.. . . .
Other members of the Trump administration, including Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of the State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also garnered lackluster approval ratings, the poll showed. . . .
So. . . Y A W N.
These bloggers are prevaricators, and Trump is a small minded would be despot. Where is the news in that?
Nowhere. But knowing that Musk (and his companies, too now) are reviled. . . well, that's new.
How long until Elon realizes his $340 billion fortune is being trashed by association with all things Tangerine 2.0?
The honeymoon / bromance is ending, boys.
S M I L E.
Onward to the high mountains of Colorado for some Spring skiing and a long weekend (thus we expect spotty / light blogging forecast, though to late Monday night). Be excellent to one another!
