Raw Story: ‘Trump’s presidency is effectively over’: New polling spells disaster for Trump in 2026

New polling data on swing states shows that a plurality of voters now favor President Donald Trump being impeached, a figure that one journalist suspects will reach an outright majority ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

“If Democrats win 20-40 seats, while only needing to flip three to take the majority, Trump’s presidency is effectively over,” wrote journalist Jason Easley, co-owner and editor of PoliticusUSA, a left-leaning news website, in an analysis published Thursday.

“The opposition to this president and his presidency appears to be only growing stronger. The pot is boiling, and the boil-over moment will likely manifest itself next November.”

Conducted by Lake Research Partners and commissioned by the national nonprofit Free Speech For People, the new poll shows that 49% of likely 2026 voters in swing districts supported impeaching Trump, compared to 44% who opposed. Additionally, the polling showed that 56% of those same voters disapproved of Trump during his second term compared to 40% who approved.

To the polling firm, the results were “unprecedented,” noting that such high support for impeachment so early into a president’s term were “remarkable.”

“It is remarkable and, as far as we know, unprecedented for such a large proportion of voters in swing districts to support impeachment of a president in the first year of their term,” the polling firm wrote in its memorandum alongside the polling data.

As for Easley, he suspected that given the dramatic shift toward supporting impeachment, that support would reach an outright majority ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

“This is a surprising number of people in swing districts who want Trump impeached,” Easley wrote. “At the current pace this administration is on, the number of voters who want Trump impeached for a third time will pass 50% before the midterm election.”

Trump has been impeached twice already; first for his “perfect phone call” in which he was alleged to have attempted to extort Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for damaging information on former President Joe Biden in 2019, and again in 2020 for attempting to overturn the results of the election.

Raw Story: Trump uses world stage to bash UN over rejected deal with his family business

President Donald Trump complained for minutes on end during his address to the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday about what he perceived as a real estate snub in the early 2000s to renovate the U.N. building in New York City, New York.

“Many years ago, a very successful real estate developer in New York known as Donald J. Trump bid on the renovation and rebuilding of this very United Nations complex, I remember it so well,” Trump said in his address to close to 150 world leaders.

“I said at the time that I would do it for $500 million, rebuilding everything. It’d be beautiful, I used to talk about ‘I’m going to give you the best of everything; you’re going to have mahogany walls, they’re going to give you plastic.’”

Trump did, in fact, make a bid in the early 2000s to renovate the U.N. building, though his offer was ultimately rejected, a rejection that reportedly enraged Trump, who went on to appeal the rejection, and even make an offer to waive his fee should he be awarded the contract.

Trump went on to complain about his rejected offer before the several dozen world leaders, alleging that the company that was ultimately awarded the project “did not know what they were doing when it came to construction,” and that he had accurately predicted that the project would see “massive cost overruns.

“I turned out to be right, they had massive cost overruns and spent between $2 trillion and $4 billion on the building, and did not even get the marble floors that I promised them!” Trump continued.“You walk on terrazzo, do you notice that? As far as I’m concerned, frankly, looking at the building and getting stuck on the escalator… they still haven’t finished the job!”

Who in his right mind would want to do business with a real estate developer who’s gone bankrupt FIVE times?

Raw Story: Stephen Miller boasts about ‘rich resources’ in nation targeted by Trump for regime change

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller couldn’t help but note Venezuela’s “rich resources and reserves” Saturday when speaking to a reporter in Washington, D.C., his comments made amid the Trump administration’s growing fixation on enacting regime change in the South American nation.

“It is a drug cartel that is running Venezuela; it is not a government, it is a drug cartel, a narco-trafficking organization that is running Venezuela,” Miller said, fielding questions from reporters. “The people of Venezuela have been suffering and struggling under the reality of a nation that is so rich in resources, so rich in reserves, that is run by (Venezuelan President Nicolas] Maduro, the head of the cartel.”

Tensions between the United States and Venezuela have risen in recent weeks, especially after the deadly U.S. precision strike this week on a supposed drug vessel heading toward American shores, an execution-style strike that has widely been condemned as amounting to murder.

President Donald Trump escalated tensions further when on Friday, he indicated that the United States would shoot down Venezuelan jets were they to fly over American naval ships, with at least eight warships and one submarine currently deployed off of Venezuela’s coast.

“Many Americans may not realize that the drugs killing their kids are coming from Maduro; also, the criminal aliens killing their kids are coming from Maduro,” Miller continued.

“So he’s sending his drugs, he is sending his killers, his assassins into our communities, and he’s working directly with other designated foreign terrorist organizations like the [Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia], and all the Mexican drug cartels, so it’s one continuous loop.”

Maduro was indicted by the Justice Department on narco-terrorism and drug trafficking charges in 2020, with the Trump administration issuing a $50 million bounty for his capture.

Given the Trump administration’s designation of drug cartels as terrorists, which permits the administration to carry out execution-style strikes on drug traffickers, a Trump official has admitted that Trump is keeping the idea of assassinating Maduro via strike “as an option.” Trump officials have also spoken favorably about the idea of enacting regime change in Venezuela.

“Maduro is an indicted drug trafficker, a fugitive from justice in America,” Miller said.
