Okay.

So, you know, again, the whole thing about this second term was maybe the resistance was lacking compared to Donald Trump's first term.
voice-verified
And one of the best ways we can understand the quote unquote resistance is how strongly folks disapprove of the job that Donald Trump is doing as president.
voice-verified
And I want to take a look here at a historical comparison, right?
voice-verified
Compare where we are now in April of 2025 compared to compared to November of 2018.
voice-verified
And what do we see?
voice-verified
Well, in November of 2018, the strongly disapproved of Trump was 42%.
voice-verified
Look at where we are now, 43%.
voice-verified
The level of strong resistance to Donald Trump now is matching what we saw back in November of 2018 when, of course, Republicans got swept out of power in the House of Representatives.
voice-verified
It was a Democratic sweep.
voice-verified
They crushed him, gained 40 seats.
voice-verified
And what we're seeing now is the same level of, quote unquote,
voice-verified
strong resistance to Donald Trump.
voice-verified
This is very different from what we were seeing at the beginning of Donald Trump's second term.
voice-verified
As I said at the beginning, the resistance in the polling data and the data on Google suggests that the resistance is quote unquote, it's alive.
voice-verified
stories that we were tracking last week were the special elections and how much and what were people reading into it and could take from those election results how does that apply to kind of this conversation okay so you see the polling here you see the google data there but what about in the real world i like to live in the real world i'm a big fan of mtv okay so take a look special house elections the average democrat
voice-verified
how they are quote unquote doing versus the prior Democratic nominee on average in those different districts, right?
voice-verified
We had two Florida special elections last week.
voice-verified
How much better did they do?
voice-verified
They did 19 points better on average.
