Alright, fellow Republicans, we’re popping champagne over the Democrats’ pitiful 21 percent approval rating in Congress, crowing about how we’ve got this in the bag. But let’s pump the brakes—this isn’t the touchdown we’re hyping it up to be. Here’s why we need to keep our eyes on the ball.
That 21 percent number, straight from a Quinnipiac poll in early 2025, is the lowest they’ve ever sunk since 2009. Sure, it’s fun to watch the Dems squirm—only 40 percent of their own voters even like their congressional crew, while 49 percent are fed up. But don’t kid yourselves: this isn’t them rushing to join Team Red. It’s their base griping that their leaders aren’t loud enough against Trump and our winning agenda. We’re not stealing their fans; they’re just mad at their own bench.
Now, let’s talk our game. We’re sitting at 40 percent approval in that same poll—a record high for us in Quinnipiac’s tally. Our base is fired up, with 79 percent of registered Republicans giving us a fist bump. That’s solid. But here’s the catch: 60 percent of voters overall, including 64 percent of those pesky independents, still aren’t sold on us. We’re rocking our own rally, but the stands aren’t full yet. This isn’t a blowout—it’s a halftime lead we can’t get cocky about.
Look around. The crowd’s not chanting for either side—they’re sick of the whole circus. X is buzzing with folks saying their leaders need to fight harder, not wave white flags. Trump’s pulling 45-47 percent approval in early 2025, per Gallup and Newsweek. That’s a step up from his first-term kickoff, and we’re riding that wave. But more folks still disapprove than cheer. We’ve got momentum, not a mandate. Let’s not pretend America’s tattooing elephants on their arms just yet.
History’s got a lesson here too. Back in 2016, we took the White House, and the Dems’ congressional approval climbed as their base rallied. Didn’t stop us from holding Congress until 2018. Now, we’ve got the House, Senate, and Trump back in charge. This 40 percent approval? It’s a good start, not a done deal. If we fumble—think tariffs that sting or cuts that backfire—those 2026 midterms could flip the scoreboard fast.
So, yeah, the Dems are eating dirt at 21 percent, and we’re loving it. But this isn’t their collapse handing us the trophy—it’s our chance to prove we’re the real deal. We’ve got the lead, patriots, but the game’s not over. Let’s keep swinging and show ‘em why we’re the ones who deliver.
