Economy bad, costs up, wages not

To the Journal editor:

Lowest approval ratings yet on 84% of voters' #1 issues: Economy and costs of living (Pew). People nationwide blame these on Trump's tariffs and bad Domestic Policies.

(Pew Research Center Oct. 8): Only 30% approve of Trump, 68% disapprove.

Reuters/Ipsos (Oct. 5-6, 2026): Only 32% approve. This is after 22 months of total Republican majority control. Republicans voted him in and enabled his bad actions. Nobody can blame Joe, Obama or Hillary now.

What else? Thirty-one percent of his own 2024 voters now disapprove of his foreign policy, Iran war, "job performance" and handling immigration (Pew).

Independents and Latinos too are massively moving away from Republicans. NBC News/Telemundo polling shows 59% of these voters now want a Democratic-controlled Congress! (100% of Democrats do.)

Like all of us honest, clear-thinking, reality-based voters, (69%) in U.S. admit to not trusting that Trump keeps his personal enrichment separated from his presidential decisions (corruption). He's proven he's working for his own vanity projects and profits, not ours nor our country's best interests.

Don't forget that DJT's Big Bad Budget Bill (HR 1) will cut Medicare, Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, Special Children's Health programs and food assistance, intentionally, strategically starting in January.

“Remember what you did unto the least of my brethren, you did unto me.” (Matthew).

Remember hospitals must treat emergencies and imminent childbirths. When those expensive necessities aren't reimbursed, our hospitals fold. Is that what you want?

If you care about yourself, your family's, community's and our nation's future, then vote only for Democrats this year. If you're so entrenched in your past that you cannot vote for Democrats to right this ship, then maybe don't vote at all.

Starting at /week.
