Michael Cohen - The Midterm War for Our Republic

You’d think by now the act would have worn thin on everyone’s patience. That after years of lies, lawsuits, convictions, international embarrassment, and a federal government run like a bad vanity project for one man’s ego, people would have had enough. But no. Here we are in 2025, waking up every day to a world on fire; international conflicts burning out of control, Washington sliding further into federalized authoritarianism, tariffs squeezing small businesses until they squeal, and gerrymandering so shameless you’d think state legislatures were drawing maps while blindfolded with crayons—and President Trump’s popularity is still holding strong in over half the states in this country. Let me repeat this for those not paying close attention… President Trump’s popularity is still holding strong in over half the states in this country.

That’s not a typo. It’s not spin. It’s a cold, hard fact.

Morning Consult’s latest polling says it all: Trump has a net-positive approval rating in 27 states. In Wyoming, 66% of voters think he’s doing a good job. In Texas—ground zero for aggressive GOP redistricting—53% approve. And that’s despite the economic wreckage of his tariff obsession and the international humiliation his foreign policy blunders have racked up.

Now look, nationally, he’s underwater. RealClearPolitics has him at -5.4. The New York Times pegs it at -8. Gallup ranks his early-term numbers lower than any modern president: Obama, both Bushes, Clinton, Reagan, all of them. But here’s the reality: elections in America aren’t decided by national averages. They’re decided state by state. And in those 27 states, Trump has the wind at his back.
