CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 5, 2026
A NEW WASHINGTON POST POLL SHOWS PRESIDENT TRUMP AT HIS LOWEST APPROVAL AND HIGHEST DISAPPROVAL OF HIS SECOND TERM. ON THE WAR, THE ECONOMY AND OTHER ISSUES, THE PRESIDENT IS UNDER WATER.
ACCORDING TO THE POLL, WHICH ONLY INCLUDED ABOUT 2700 PEOPLE, ONLY 33 PERCENT APPROVE OF THE IRAN CONFLICT. HIS RATING ON THE ECONOMY HAS DECINED TO 34 PERCENT AS GAS PRICES HAVE SPIKED. HIS APPROVAL ON INFLATION HAS DROPPED FIVE POINTS TO 27 PERCENT. COST OF LIVING? 76 PERCENT DISAPPROVE.
HERE’S WHAT I WISH POLLSTERS WOULD ASK? IF IRAN HAS NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND LAUNCHED THEM AGAINST THE U.S. AND ISRAEL, DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD HAVE ACTED EARLIER TO STOP THEM?
ON GAS PRICES AND INFLATION, DON’T YOU REMEMBER BOTH WERE MUCH HIGHER UNDER JOE BIDEN? DID YOU FORGET THAT BIDEN KEPT THE BORDER OPEN WHICH IS WHY SO MANY ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE KILLING AMERICAN CITIZENS?
DO YOU WANT TO PUT DEMOCRATS BACK IN CHARGE OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE WHERE THERE WILL BE NONSTOP IMPEACHMENTS AND INVESTIGATIONS AND THEY WILL TRY TO EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT TO SOLIDIFY LEFT-WING POLICIES FOREVER?
MOST PEOPLE ARE BETTER OFF THAN THEIR GRANDPARENTS AND PREVIOUS GENERATIONS. STOP COMPLAINING. ONLY YOU CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE BETTER. I’M CAL THOMAS.
