Main Gossip: The Popularity Plunge!

Oh, sweetie, have you heard the latest from that Harry Enten fellow on CNN? I nearly dropped my teacup! He was flapping on about President Trump's popularity, and let me tell you, it's not exactly the grand ol' story you’d expect for the end of 2025. It seems things have gone a bit pear-shaped, bless his heart.

Can you believe it? Back in January, at the start of the year, President Trump was riding high, like a king on a parade float, with his approval rating a good six points above water. "Pretty darn good," Harry said, and I thought, "Well, good for him!"

But then, heavens to Betsy, by December? The poor man is twelve points underwater! That’s a whopping eighteen-point drop in less than a year! It’s enough to make you clutch your pearls, isn't it?

Grandma’s Sarcastic Reactions: The Fickle Folks!

And who do you think is behind all this hullabaloo? Oh, it’s those "independents," sweetie. Always the independents, aren't they? They're like grandchildren trying to pick a flavor of ice cream—can never quite make up their minds!

Harry said in January, they were only minus one point against him, practically even-steven. But now, they've gone all the way down to a staggering minus forty-three points! "Donald Trump is hanging out with Jacques Cousteau," that reporter quipped, meaning he's way, way underwater with them! Well, I never!

Clarifying What Actually Happened: Economy and Immigration Woes!

Now, what’s got these folks so flustered, you ask? According to Mr. Enten, it’s all about the economy and immigration. You remember, the economy was the big reason he got his second term, right? In January, he was a lovely plus nine points on that issue.

But come December, poof! He's plummeted to sixteen points underwater. That’s a twenty-five-point nosedive! And immigration, which he’s been talking about since I was wearing bloomers, started at plus nine points but is now a rather dismal minus six points.

It sounds like those critical issues, the ones that matter most to folks, aren't exactly doing him any favors anymore. Oh dear, oh dear.

Why Grandma Just Can't Even Today: A Lifetime of Ups and Downs!

Back in my day, we didn’t have all these fancy "net approval ratings" and television screens telling us every little thing. We just knew if folks were happy or grumbling over the fence!

But even I can see that an eighteen-point swing in less than a year is quite the tumble. It just goes to show you, sweetie, you can be at the top of the world one minute, and then the next, you're looking for your floaties!

It's enough to make a grandma sigh and wonder what on earth is going to happen next. I need another slice of pie to cope with all this modern drama!
