Dems have a long way to go

We have a long way to go. The following poll shows the challenge.

Poll on Trump's 2025 joint address to Congress finds large majority of viewers approve - CBS News

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-speech-joint-address-congress-poll-2025/

Yes, it is heavily weighed towards the GOP. But Dems are paying for the long silence, as I see it. Putting lot of Dems who cannot speak in charge of top positions is probably the reason for this. To be frank, I have not seen non stop pushback from most Dems. It is still just a few. I know people disagree but following tradition and not saying much as Trump burns down the country is not serving the Obamas or Biden's or Clintons well. Yes. George Bush, the idiot, says he is retired.

Dem leaders, please adopt Crocket, AOC, Sanders, Murphy, Raskin approach and oppose everything the fascist does.

from 47.7% to 47.6%, after the congressional address Tuesday night.

That's in no way good news for Trump given that apparently 75% or more of the people who viewed the speech were already Trump supporters.

Any polls on the speech itself are absolutely useless at this point given barely any Democrats watched the speech.
