Again, this is political bravery, what we're watching right now.

The president over and over and over again is saying, I will outlast you.

I will outlast you.

And that's what he has to say.

Now, one of the things that's quite fascinating is that the economic statistics right now are obviously not cutting in favor of the president.

Here, for example, is a graph showing

of the consumer price index change from one year ago.

And as you see, obviously it jumped.

The core CPI didn't jump very much, meaning excluding food and energy prices.

But if you include food and energy prices, then it jumped to about 3.8% year over year, which is the highest that it has been since approximately 2023.

Not great, obviously.

And when you look at the poll statistics, Americans are not feeling very sanguine about the economy.

A brand new poll,

is out from CNN asking, which political party do Americans think would do a better job of dealing with a wide variety of issues?

And here's what the poll found.

On healthcare, 43% of Americans say the Democrats, 33% say neither, 24% say the Republicans.

And helping the middle class, 40% say the Democrats, 27% say the Republicans.

On income inequality, 39% Democrats, 22% Republicans.

Cost of living, 37% Democrats, 28% Republicans.

On the economy more broadly, fairly evenly split, 35% for the Democrats, 33% for the Republicans, 32% neither.
