Backing up The Argument in NYT/Siena, Gen X still has an astonishing 49% approval for Trump (!), while Boomers have dipped to 42%.
Gen X is currently tracking at 12 pts to the right of the electorate on the generic ballot. Now 9 pts to the right of Boomers, which has to be the largest gap ever.

Pew has Trump's approval at 37%. And:
"Only about a quarter of Americans today (27%) say they support all or most of Trump’s policies and plans, down from 35% when he returned to office last year. That change has come entirely among Republicans."

Confidence in Trump Dips, and Fewer Now Say They Support His Policies and Plans
Only 27% of Americans say they support all or most of Trump's policies – down since last year, with the change coming entirely among Republicans.

The sales pitch on leaving the ACC for the B1G or SEC was “Even if we can’t win these conferences, at least we’ll have financial stability.” Well, Rutgers is proving you can get your ass kicked yearly AND go half a billion in debt, too!
Rutgers has an athletic department deficit of over $500 million since joining the Big Ten. Buy Rutgers bonds before The Big Short 2.

Today, we're looking at which FBS games had the FEWEST YARDS and the MOST POINTS.
We calculated combined yards/point for FBS games this year and ranked the games by fewest yards per point.
Congrats to Syracuse and Notre dame who combined for 77 points on just 603 yards.

I think this is a fantastic use of $75 million by idiots trying to gain Trump’s favor.
Melania hasn't sold a single ticket at all in Boston. This movie was an obvious bribe by Bezos and Amazon.

I’ll say it: The Doomsday Clock is dumb
The Doomsday Clock, a metaphorical timepiece meant to depict how close humanity is to destruction, ticked closer than ever to midnight on Tuesday: 85 seconds to the stroke of doom.
Doomsday Clock Ticks Closer Than Ever to Apocalypse
Wars, climate change, disruptive technologies and the rise of autocracy over the past year prompted scientists to set the clock at 85 seconds to midnight.
