Donald Trump just got a rude awakening as he's seeing his 2026 polling numbers. By the way, in places like Texas, where his approval in Texas is only 4% and net negative six in Texas, his overall approval. according to the latest YouGov poll in 2026, is at 41%. And if you look at the issues right now, more Americans are saying inflation is their number one issue than at the same point in 2023, 2024. While Donald Trump claims that I solved inflation, I've eliminated it. It's not what the American people are saying. More people say it's their number one issue than they did when Trump was running against Biden. Then you have the generic ballot polling among independents where you have Democrats taking a commanding lead over Republicans up by about eight points there, nine points there.

Then it is what's his overall approval on the issue of inflation? Only 32% in generic polling in Arizona, of all places. Democrats are soaring ahead right there, and Republicans were leading that in 2024. You take a look at even Trump's favorite pollster, Rasmussen, who always gives Donald Trump what he wants. Donald Trump's disapproval there is 54%. Then when you break down some of the issues, would you support the U.S. buying Greenland? Overwhelmingly, Americans are opposed. Do you support U.S. taking military force against Greenland? Only 8% of Americans approve. The approval of ICE, 52% disapprove of ICE. And most Americans calling for not funding ICE, but defunding of ICE. You take a look at whether or not the American people believe that Donald Trump needs approval.

for military action in Venezuela. 69% says he needs military approval. Should the U.S. be involved in other countries just because they don't cooperate with the United States? 67% of Americans oppose. 62% oppose further military action in Venezuela. 62% say basically America should have not much or no involvement in Venezuela. 72% of Americans describe the economy as poor or fair, according to the latest YouGov poll. But then you look at a state like Pennsylvania, where you have their governor, Governor Shapiro, who's got a plus 27 approval, ultra popular on a bipartisan basis. And you look at Pennsylvania, you can see how a governor who gets things done and actually focuses on the people How that works out and contrast that to Donald Trump's tanking approval.

So I want to talk about normalcy. I want to talk about what it means to because I am just sick and tired of the drama, the ballrooms, the ranting and raving, the posts every morning, the lies to the American people, the attacks. tax on our country by this Trump regime. So speaking about good governance, normalcy, and getting stuff done, let's bring in Governor Shapiro, the great commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It was announced the run for re-election. Wow, time flies. And in this term, you've accomplished so much. I mean, whether it was rebuilding the I-95 in 12 days with Pennsylvania, union workers record funding for schools universal school breakfast in a time where we're seeing manufacturing jobs across the country decreasing you've been increasing jobs and improving the job outlook in the commonwealth just talk to us about it because you've got a divided legislature too so you got to contend with a lot of stuff right there
