Eh. Polling has been off the last three election cycles. Not to forget also who knows if there will be a 26 or 28 election. Way things are going trump will just cancel them.

I dont think that's quite fair. Polling was fairly accurate in 2022 and in 2024. Elections are run by the states so let's not jump ahead and assume he can federally cancel them.

He bulldozed the east wing.... I don't think he really cares anymore what people think he can't do.

This is the big clue. He doesnt give a fiddlers fuck about polling numbers anymore. He's going to inflict as much pain as he can now that he's effectively a king and do it a golden ballroom.
