Why is Donald Trump’s approval rating sinking in North Carolina?
Donald Trump is collapsing in North Carolina, his approval hitting all-time lows there. This is his handpick stooge to run for the United States Senate seat there. MAGA Republican Michael Watley is literally running away from questions about affordability and how he intends to make things better for the people of North Carolina after Donald Trump's lies have screwed up the people's lives in North Carolina. Carolina so badly. The latest economist, youGovPoll, has Donald Trump's approval at net negative 25 points in North Carolina. Let me repeat that. Trump is underwater so badly in North Carolina. It's net negative 25 right now. So Michael Watley, former chair of the RNC, Donald Trump's handpicked stooge to run in North Carolina after Donald Trump.
Forced out Tom Tillis, the Republican senator from North Carolina. Watch as Watley runs away from his press conference as the media tries to ask him a very basic question about the economy in North Carolina. He does not want to talk about the economy in North Carolina. Here, play this clip. Any questions about the economy? Any questions about the economy? What do you plan to do to make North Carolina more affordable? What do you plan to do to make North Carolina more affordable?
He wouldn't take questions on that during an event today, even though we sent the Watley camp questions more than twenty four hours ago.
Well, no wonder when you take a look at the latest polling from Elon University over there. They do really good polls in North Carolina. Amongst likely voters, Roy Cooper, the former governor of North Carolina, the Democratic candidate running for that Senate seat, is up 53% to 42%. Amongst registered voters, Cooper's lead is even bigger. Governor Cooper up 51%. To Watley's 36% right there. Now, J.D. Vance took a visit recently to North Carolina. And despite the fact that inflation is surging, that gas prices are at an all-time high in United States history on a nationwide average basis at this time in August, despite the fact that people can't afford homes, they're having healthcare ripped away, as people know.
How did Michael Watley avoid answering questions on North Carolina’s affordability?
The so-called big beautiful bill, which is a disastrous bill, screwed up people's lives so badly as the cost of living has become even more of a major issue by far under this despicable Trump regime. You had J.D. Vance in his recent uh visit. Say, don't worry, uh, we're we're doing our best and things are so good and we've delivered actually. Mission accomplished, the cost of living has been fixed. And people of North Carolina are like, huh? The hell are you talking? The hell are you weirdos talking about? Here play this clip.
My friends, the president is impatient. He's the most impatient person I have ever met, in fact. He constantly is pressing on the gas, he wants us to do more, but I stand here proud to say that after the first year of President Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans leadership, we are rebuilding the American dream and we are taking back this country for the people of this state.
And it may be perhaps a warning sign was when Donald Trump was campaigning in North Carolina in twenty twenty four and he was saying that Mark Robinson Saying Mark Robinson is scandal plagued would be a compliment to Mark Robinson. But remember, Donald Trump would say, and Mark Robinson is my guy. He's Martin Luther King on steroids. Yeah, this is probably a probably was a red flag. There's probably other red flags too, like I don't know, him being a felon, like him being a sexual predator, like uh him being found civilly liable for sexual assault and bankrupting business. But all right, but uh how about this one? This is what he was saying in 2024. Play this clip.
I heard him and by the way, his wife is much much more lovely than he is, I can tell you that. And she's my friend. Thank you, darling, for being here. But you know, I heard him coming in on the plane, I was listening and I said to the people on the plane, Watch this. This is Martin Luther King on steroids. Okay, now. I told that I told that.
