CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 18, 2025
HERE’S SOME NEWS THAT WILL SHOCK AND ANGER DEMOCRATS, THE MAJOR MEDIA AND TRUMP HATERS EVERYWHERE. ACCORDING TO AN NBC NEWS POLL – YES, YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT, AN NBC NEWS POLL – THE PRESIDENT ENJOYS THE HIGHEST APPROVAL HE’S EVER HAD. MORE AMERICANS SAY HE IS ON THE RIGHT TRACK THAN ANY TIME IN THE LAST TWENTY YEARS.
THERE IS ALSO SOME CAUTION IN THE POLL. THE BAD NEWS IS THAT THE PRESIDENT STILL HAS NOT WON OVER A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS. 54 PERCENT SAID THEY DISAPPROVE OF HIS HANDLING OF THE ECONOMY. IT’S THE FIRST TIME HE’S LOST A MAJORITY ON THAT ISSUE IN AN NBC NEWS POLL.
REMEMBER IT TOOK RONALD REAGAN TWO YEARS TO TURN AROUND THE BAD ECONOMY LEFT HIM BY JIMMY CARTER. I DOUBT IT WILL TAKE THAT LONG THIS TIME AROUND. I SUSPECT MUCH OF THE DOUBT ON THE ECONOMY IS BECAUSE OF THE TARIFF THREAT AND THE DECLINE IN THE STOCK MARKET. WE’LL SEE IF TARIFF’S WORK. AS FOR THE STOCK MARKET, WE HAVE BEEN HERE MANY TIMES BEFORE. AFTER AN INITIAL SELL-OFF SOMETIMES BECAUSE OF AN OVERVALUED MARKET AND AN OVERDUE CORRECTION, THE MARKET HAS ALWAYS COME BACK.
HAVING A HIGH APPROVAL RATING IS A GOOD FIRST STEP. LET’S HOPE THE ECONOMY FOLLOWS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
