BOMBSHELL POLL: NYT/Siena Finds a Stunning Shift in Red America
Summary
Katherine Rampell and Bill Kristol analyze the New York Times-Siena poll, which indicates a significant Democratic surge in traditionally Republican states like Texas, Ohio, and Alaska. They attribute this "blue wave" to a sharp drop in Trump's approval ratings, high costs of living driven by tariffs, and the negative impact of the recent war. The discussion also covers the rising political salience of data centers and the potential downside of Trump and Vance campaigning for Republican candidates.
