The 36% are very much unaware of the negotiating position being offered to Iran to end the conflict: US direct cash payment to Iran.
If you're offering reparations to the enemy to end the conflict, you're not winning.

Likely, it’ll go through Saudi construction firms as “development and construction” and the word “reparations” will never be used.
The majority of the World will, correctly, see it as baked reparations drizzled in corruption sauce. 90% of Trump voters? “See! It’s the art of the deal. We won!”

The frozen assets moniker will be used. Saudis and Iran are rivals and opposing powers, with animosity towards each other, to a level developed into proxy wars and competing, opposing spheres of influence. There will not be a Saudi conduit to Iran.

Know what trumps all those differences that rulers use to divide people and maintain power? Money.
Edit for detail: Normalization of Saudi/Iran relations has been going for the last several years. Reapproachment. Rich people are never going to let silly things like religion, history etc. get in the way of sucking up even more of the World’s wealth, especially US tax dollars.

So glad your work doing campaigning has shown you every Americans experience and left you with no blindsides and the mindset to understand accessibility is absolutely fake news. Its absolutely not infrastructure and entirely the voters fault, yep. Nothing to see here.

This is the reason our politics are in a death spiral. Votes are binary values. Either you support someone in the race, or you don't. By casting your vote, you implicitly extend full endorsement into everything they do, but that's rarely how anyone ever feels about their votes on an individual level. Most people will say, "I didn't vote for this or that" and 100% mean it, but they'll still be lumped in with the other millions of voters because that's just how the system is.
I propose we reinvent the vote. Instead of a vote FOR a candidate, now you have the option to vote FOR a candidate and AGAINST a candidate. Everyone still only has one vote. By the end of the vote, a candidate may win based on either having more votes for them than the other candidate, or less votes against them than the other candidate. Maybe one year's candidate gains a lot of votes FOR them so they're more legitimate compared to another year's candidate who won because they didn't get as many AGAINST votes as the opponent. This way, Americans can actually say "I didn't vote for this" and actually mean it without not exercising their right to vote.

It will not depend on that. Dems have made 2-3 attempts to revoke Trump's war powers to end the war, which were defeated along party lines? Most voters won't hear about that because the media won't spotlight it and Americans are too ignorant and apathetic to dig for it. The same is true for many efforts Dems have made. For the same reason, media won't promote Dems narratives and voters won't dig for information even when it's spotlighted in campaigns and on websites. You and I know this because that's what happened in 2024. That's why I'm betting this wont impact the mid terms.

What happened in 2024 is that we put forward a candidate who couldn't even remotely articulate her campaign message despite being given MULTIPLE high profile platforms to do so.
She was more interested in "brat girl summer" and media campaigns than addressing pocket book issues with clearly articulated policies.
The Democrats, as a whole, suck at winning elections. Its hard to blame the media after they've outspent their opponents on media and ad campaigns election cycle after election cycle.
At this point, they can't even blame Citizens United given how much they've outraised and outspent Republicans.
The issue isn't "the media." The issue is that the Democratic Party establishment and its various "strategists" are more about making $$$ from campaign media spend and consulting fees than they are about winning and governing.

A single poll like this is signal, not meaning.
It’s useful as a snapshot, but poll results are highly sensitive to:
question wording
sample composition
timing
methodology
So “36% approve / 64% disapprove” tells you what this sample said at this moment—not how stable or representative that sentiment is overall.
What actually matters is convergence:
do multiple polls show the same pattern?
does it hold over time?
does it persist across different methods?
That’s how you separate noise from a real signal.
Until then, it’s a data point—not a conclusion.
