Join Matt Lewis and Bill Scher on DMZ as they dive into the latest political analysis. In this episode, Bill discusses his provocative Washington Monthly article, "Trump’s Historically Bad First Month of Polls Should Terrify Republicans." 

With Trump's approval ratings dropping 7 points in just one month — starting stronger than his first term but already treading water — these early numbers could spell disaster for congressional Republicans facing the 2026 midterms. 

From unpopular tariffs and Elon Musk’s growing unpopularity to potential economic missteps like inflation and job cuts, is Trump governing as advertised, or is he overreading his mandate? Matt challenges Bill’s optimism, questioning voter expectations, poll reliability, and whether Republicans can break from Trump’s grip. Are Democrats poised to capitalize, or will Trump’s chaos reshape the political landscape? Watch now for expert insights on Trump’s presidency, GOP strategy, and the road to 2026!
