Bowling Green State University poll indicates Trump approval slipping in Ohio We have a good snapshot of how Ohio voters are feeling, a year out from the election that will decide the governor’s office and Congress. Bowling Green State University is out with its latest poll.

Talking about the BGSU/YouGov poll on the Snollygoster podcast today.

In 2018, 3 out of 4 (!) voters chose to pass an amendment in Ohio to “end the partisan process for drawing congressional districts” and ensure a “transparent process” and yet here we are.

Having a sense of dread every time you are pinged with a news notification is a rough way to go through life.

I gotta believe

Some day we will get out of this mess but it’s gonna take so much work.

Online world is so radically different than the “real world” but I’m afraid a lot of really online people can’t acknowledge that and it’s making its way into that “real world.”

Had I just read a ridiculous post 10 minutes prior? Yes…yes I did.

I’ve seen enough hate for the day. Logging off for the night.

Wrote this a couple of years ago and it’s only gotten worse.

Was introducing @dannagal.bsky.social’s work on misinformation in my public opinion class yesterday. I suspect those students are seeing much of what we discussed play out in real time over the last day.

Trump, Epstein, Diddy…Eyes Wide Shut stuff has to be real.

There was so much more hope coming of age in the 80s and 90s. The last 25 years has been a rough time for the USA and the world.

The U.S. added just 22,000 jobs in August, confirming dramatic slowdown in the labor market The August report is the first since Trump fired a top Labor Department official over accusations of releasing inaccurate data.

“U.S. job growth has almost entirely ground to a standstill, according to government data released Friday.”

I must have missed the part where the president has unrestrained power in Article II.

It’s day 2 and my “to do” list is already a novella 😂.

28 years and I’m still nervous the night before the first day of classes.

We really need decent people to run for public office at ALL levels of government.

The probability students read every word of a 20-page syllabus has to be next to 0. #MakeSyllabiMeaningfulAgain

I already feel behind and then I see this😕

Posting now for a later time:

Consumer costs rise dramatically and Trump gives out “tariff dividends” that do not actually cover those rising costs.

When Aldi prices are looking like normal grocery store prices I have to believe most people are seeing a pretty steep rise in their grocery bills.

Tariffs are taxes.

Government is not a business.

Went for an evening walk and stopped for a moment to take in the MLK statue on ONU’s campus. Needed message in these times.

How much will you save or lose with Trump’s ‘big’ tax bill? How will Trump’s tax bill affect your finances? Check out its affects using this calculator.

Isn’t this what many are ultimately interested in?

What’s the matter with Ohio? Trump tariffs are a loser even in Red states. Our poll of Buckeye voters finds Trump is currently underwater and the tariffs are a major reason why.

The world is not ready for the changes AI is gonna bring.

Appreciated the opportunity to be on WBGU-TV’s “The Journal” to discuss our most recent polling results of Ohioans with my colleague David J. Jackson and host Steve Kendall. Looking forward to more polling through BG’s Democracy and Public Policy Network this Fall.
