It would be interesting to do a like for like comparison between the prices of the groceries at Trump's campaign event in August 2024 and where they are now. If anyone has seen anything along these lines grateful if you would share please.
Why else would he be pushing extreme gerrymandering? He knows he can't win without cheating. He ALWAYS cheats. With all the hurt that's coming, let's hope enough of his supporters vote against him in 2026.
It would be interesting and helpful if your polls and data had a measurement for trust and a separate category for integrity (truth and follow thru). We would love to see those numbers.
For a good look at how prices and high inflation are affecting the lives of people, I suggest reading the post, "Will Work for Food," in Jess Piper's Substack, "The View from Rural Missouri," Then read the comments. The effect on people is real, and they are noticing.
It's a long way from November 2026. I pray that whether it's cost of living or Epstein or healthcare or whatever, that Democrats organise, make their case and take back congress. With all the redistricting and other initiatives it may be that a bigger swing to the Democrats is needed. Time to present the thoughtful, considered policy agenda to improve peoples' lives and hope that helps drive turnout. Or is not being Trump sufficient? A blue tsunami next year would be wonderful.
Not doomspraying here, but I don't think their political capital will diminish, it certainly hasn't, and won't, at least not until November 2026. Losing it hasn't mattered, because at the moment, the fascists/white nationalists are implementing every democracy and economy destroying policy they possibly can - and will continue to do so. The breathtaking speed of all this is the "tell." They know they have one shot in two years to do everything Project 2025 dictated, betting that they can keep the media narrative somewhat at bay - they more or less are, re prices, as you pointed out, its not getting the same attention compared to Biden - and overwhelm everyone. While simultaneously keep the fiction going for the cult - which still has power in red states and red districts.
Related: the Epstein story is slowly receding.
Finally, the only political capital they still have: they are infuriatingingly still in the positive when it comes to immigration and border security. And probably public safety/crime, too?
What was the numbers for Ohio, Florida, and South Carolina?

WaPo had a good groceries tracker, but I don’t know if it’s being updated anymore.

Good idea, to the extent we can measure this!

I'm pretty sick of all their "winning."
I'm not sure the Epstein issue is over. It's only on August break, along with Congress.
It won't last, based on the questions being asked of the handful of GOP members facing constituents.
They’re not in the positive re immigration though, according to the charts above.
