People with master's degrees that live next to you in McLean and Bethesda that were harmed by this is not right.

And I think once that kind of touched people, combining that with his disinterest did make a difference, again, on the margins.

It's not taking them down to 0%, but it did make a difference, I think.

I was trying to think about the positives of him losing power.

The one negative to your point, since you mentioned it, was I saw some analysis.

Now, I think it was real clear politics, just kind of right wing.

And so the makeup of polls they use is a little bit skewed.

They had put out a thing that was like the approval rating of...

Obama, Bush at the end of the first year of the second term.

And it was like the same as Trump.

Like they both had dropped to the low 40s, basically.

Yeah.

So there is some of that that is just kind of like whatever, a reversion to the mean or, you know, this kind of thermostatic element of political support.

I think he didn't have to be as low as he is, though.

I mean, like the amount of own goals, like the tariffs, the dough.

I was talking about this to Tom Nichols on Friday.

I re-listened to our podcast after the last election last year.

And we had Tom.

And the thing that we were both lamenting was like the economy was getting better slowly.

Like, you know, prices weren't ever going to come down.
