I would very much call a presidency who is doing this much objective damage and are filled with literal neo-nazis having an approval rating of over 40% as high, yes.

In fact trump 2's approval has been higher than trump 1's approval, with an objectively worse administration. Even matching is bad!

Except that was centralized to the highest earners, not the lowest. My point here is that we have done successful economic policy, campaigned on it, and lost on it, because the media env focused on cultural issues over economic ones, and voters decided to trust that over their material improvements.

Debt doesn't seem to have had any significant spike outside of the initial 2020 pandemic, but otherwise trended downwards substantially?

This looks more like debt has decreased over Biden's term, not increased.

Curious what your thoughts are between squaring real wage increases with SPM increases? I'm also wondering if anyone has done a comparison between both metrics in terms of rate of change magnitude.

And that's a wrap!

#TN07 ends up with Matt Van Epps (R) beating Altyn Behn (D) by a margin of 8.87%, or 15944 votes.
Overall turnout is just shy of the 2022 General, 179899 vs 180822 votes.
This was a +12.59D shift compared to the 2024 House election, which Mark Green won w/a 21.46% margin.

December 3, 2025 at 2:19 AM

* Big red shifts in many of the other counties, overall relative shift vs. 2024 House is down to +14D
* Still waiting on Davidson, which is Behn's last hope to win.

December 3, 2025 at 2:11 AM
#TN07 Status Update:
* Notable red shifts for Decatur, Hickman, Houston, Perry, and Wayne

IT IS A RACE #TN07
WILLIAMSON SHIFT IS +21.61D VS HOUSE 2024 ELECTION
December 3, 2025 at 1:54 AM
Something to flag for #TN07: Compared to the turnout estimates by @votehub.com , it appears Decatur and Perry, both rural R strongholds, are turning out way more votes.
December 3, 2025 at 1:49 AM
Status update #TN07:
* strong Davidson showing, matters how EDay ends up, might carry over the edge
* bad signs out of robertson, only +13D shift vs. 2024H in a county that gave a ~15k R margin
December 3, 2025 at 1:42 AM
yeah uh
December 3, 2025 at 1:36 AM
Ok finally some analysis.
@votehub.com just posted on Twitter their estimated by county turnout for #TN07

Roughly 52% turnout of the 2024 house race.

Gallop's polling is roughly aligned to where trump was this time in his first term. In fact he's been a bit higher among male responses vs last term until this most recent poll.

Trump gained roughly 4% between now and the 2018 midterms, so there's still a lot that can happen.
