New York Times: “Blue-collar white voters are, for the first time, seriously doubting Mr. Trump’s handling of the economy. A review of polling by The New York Times shows an extraordinary swing on that issue among white voters without college degrees between his first midterm election and now.”

“Then, working-class white voters approved of his management of the economy by margins of 30 percentage points or even more. Now, recent polls show them disapproving by anywhere from 14 to more than 30 points.”

I took a route that is a bit slower, but more scenic. One of the properties on that road has had a trumper billboard on his barn since 2015.

I drove that road probably two months ago, it was still there.

Today, it is gone.

of times finally are able to figure out they are being played - interesting.

I come from blue collar and a farm background - not being pretentious.
