‘TOTAL DEVASTATION’: Americans WAKE UP As Polls SPELL DOOM For Trump! | The Kyle Kulinski Show
Secular Talk
Alright y'all so we have some absolutely devastating polls here for Trump and MAGA, but at the same time we have some interesting polls for Democrats as well that they certainly, certainly need to take seriously. So let me walk you through it. Let's start with this one here. So this is an echelon poll from November 17th. Among Democrats they asked them, which is closer to your view? Democratic Socialism, defined as where government can be relied on to provide basic needs is the best way to build an equitable economy slash society. 64% of Democrats say Democratic Socialism.
Yes, that's the way to go. That is an overwhelming majority, 64%. Then the other option was Capitalism, defined as with sensible regulation is the best way to build a strong growing economy. Only 22% of Democrats agreed with that. This is ladies and gentlemen a sea change. Certainly in my lifetime I have seen polls where young people in particular back when us millennials were the young people. For us, yes, there's been polls that show we prefer democratic socialism to capitalism but
basically for other Democrats across the board that was not the case. It was they were more pro-capitalism than pro-democratic socialism. This now is basically the Democratic base waking up and looking around and going things are really not working and they're not even close to working and we need a page one rewrite. We need like a top-down total system reboot.
This is unacceptable. We need a system that actually works for the people and right now it's just not. It's just not doing that. So stop and think about it. They defined in this poll,
Democratic socialism is defined in like a neutral to positive way, but also Capitalism is defined in sort of a neutral to positive way. And I want to reiterate, 64% of Democrats said they prefer Democratic Socialism, to just 22% say they prefer Capitalism. So, wakey wakey! Wakey wakey! Zoran is the future. I know there's a lot of, you know, centrist Democrats who really don't like that idea but it's it's the truth and that's the bottom line is I don't think there's anything you could do with this point
to stem the tide of democratic socialism but the good news I have for the centrist capitalists within the democratic coalition is that when people talk about being democratic socialists in the context of America they really just mean social, which it's like a hybrid between capitalism and socialism And so you take certain things off the table, but still have the private marketplace for many other things So you take like health care and education and child care and things like that off the table Free universal options for that and then outside of that it's still you know, a regulated capitalist system
So don't don't be afraid. Do not be afraid. Democratic socialism is not a dirty word. It's actually the most successful countries on earth have systems like this. Of course I'm talking about the Scandinavian region. I'm talking about Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden and the people there self-report being super duper happy. So this poll right here is a wake-up call for Democrats or it should be a wake-up call for Democrats and at the same time the most
popular senator consistently year after year for decades has been Bernie Sanders. He's a Democratic Socialist. He's a registered Independent, coxes with the Democrats but he describes himself as a Democratic Socialist and he always has. That says something. The new poll that just came out, the most liked Democrat in the country among Democrats was Zoran Mamdani. He was plus 57. Gavin Newsom was number 2 at plus 50. 7 points behind him. Alright, but I'm just getting started here. So now, let me give you this one.
Should Democrats have held out opening the government until getting ACA funding, the Obamacare subsidies? They polled Democrats. YouGov polled Democrats on this. 64% of Democrats said yes you should have held out until they caved. Only 11% said no. So in other words yes the Democratic Tea Party is here. Yes they want you to fight. Yes they want you to destroy the right. Yes they want you to get tangible real victories and wins for the American people. And I'm sorry I just flat-out disagree. There's some people out there who said oh there's no way the Republicans were never gonna fold on
this that's just not true that is just not true it is very very possible with a week or two more of that shutdown with the holiday season approaching that they would have came to Democrats on their hands and knees and said look we have an offer we have a compromise for you yes we'll give you some Obamacare subsidy funding that was very possible and by the, if they didn't do that, the other thing they could have done is just blow up the filibuster. Which, maybe they would have done that and guess what? Trump is basically a lame duck already. So, sure they have 51 votes to get
whatever they want through the Senate, but he's still going to have a hard time getting stuff through and the next time the Democrats get control, we could actually get the stuff we want through. You know, I've always been in favor of, at the very least, limiting the filibuster to what it was originally supposed to be, where you have to actually filibuster in order to filibuster. You have to stand and hold the floor
and talk endlessly to block it. And then as soon as you stop that, as soon as you give up, then the legislation can proceed. But now we have this bullshit filibuster where all you have to do is declare that you're filibustering and then the other side needs 60 votes to get through the legislation. That's crazy to me.
That's crazy. So, um, it is incredible that only 11% of Democratic voters agree with Chuck Schumer's position and 64% agree with our position. It would have been better to keep fighting. It would have been better to make them come crawling on their hands and knees to get your votes or make them blow up the filibuster which then opens the door for us to do real change in a positive direction.
All right but I'm not done. So we've been talking about the Democratic polls. Let's now talk about this one. So new polling that just came out from Marist. Democrats currently have a 14 point lead against Republicans on the 2026 generic ballot. When last asked this question in November of 2024, it was 48 to 48. Democrats and Republicans were dead-tied
in November of 2024 when the election was. Now Democrats have a 14-point lead. That's how thoroughly Trump has screwed the pooch. That's how thoroughly he has pissed off the country and made them turn against him and Republicans. Among independents, Democrats have a 33 point advantage over Republicans. 33 point. So when I tell you this has been a legendary, legendary collapse on the part of the Republicans,
I absolutely mean it. From dead tied to a 14 point lead for Democrats, and from roughly tied to a 33 point lead for for Democrats among independents that's wild in fact it probably was the case that independents were more with Republicans in November 2024 right they were probably like plus 5 plus 10 or whatever in favor of Republicans just unbelievable stuff unbelievable all right but I'm still not done the
approval of ICE now let me just point out here that as a general rule when you ask the American people about our various law enforcement agencies, they consistently poll sky high. They consistently poll through the roof. I'm talking about you ask the American people, what are your thoughts on the cops? It'll be like, oh, like, you know, 70% plus of Americans would say, I support the police. Right?
And fill in the blank with, what about the FBI? Fill in the blank with various law enforcement agencies. The American people respect and support those law enforcement agencies, right? Not anymore. So they asked about the approval of ICE. Disapproved 53%, approve only 39%.

Get started freeI'm not kidding when I say, I think that's the lowest number I've ever seen for any law enforcement agency in my entire life Just 39% of the country says I approve of ice which means the overwhelming majority Have seen the videos they've seen the horror stories, right? They understand that these ice Gestapo thugs are shooting priests in the face with pepper balls We literally have video of that.
They understand that they're rounding up innocent people, including American citizens, by the way, and assaulting them and taking away their due process. They understand that they've teargassed babies and they've teargassed cops and they've teargassed veterans.
They see, like, there's no hiding how brutal and insane all these things have been. And so, um, when you look at their record, basically they can't hide the reality from the American people anymore. They can't hide that 22 people have died in ICE custody. They can't hide that there are countless articles saying literal criminals are joining ICE and white nationalists and, uh, Pr literal criminals are joining ICE and white nationalists and proud boys are joining ICE. They can't hide that they assaulted an 84 year old married couple. They can't hide that they're running people over with cars. By the way there was just a story that
came out yesterday. It didn't make it in the show today but I could tell you about it now. There are, there was a police press conference where they said they had this undercover sting operation going after fredophiles and one of the people they caught was an ICE agent. It was an ICE agent. People see it. They see what's happening. They see a Blackhawk helicopter being used where ICE agents rappel down onto an apartment building and they arrest everybody in the apartment building. They zip-tie kids who are in their underwear at 2 in the morning and throw them in the back of U-Haul trucks, then come to find out none of the people that they did this to were criminals and none of them were even undocumented immigrants.
It's catching up to them, y'all. It's catching up. And so there are real, real consequences for this sort of stuff. And by the way, I should point out, the numbers with Hispanics have plummeted for Trump. Plummeted for Trump. Plummeted. I mean he... And again I gotta pat myself on the back for this one because when I went on Josh Citarollo's show he asked me about these big gains that Trump made with various
minority communities and I said that's not gonna last. And it literally didn't even last a year. It literally didn't even last a year. A year. Do you know how disgusting you have to be to lose support that fast. Alright but I got more for you. Do you think Donald Trump is trying to cover up Jeffrey Epstein's crimes? All 49%. No 32%. 32%. Only 32% of the country say Trump is, do you think Trump is trying to cover up Jeffrey Epstein's crimes? Only 32% say no. That is insane. That is insane. So everybody knows.
Everybody knows. Everybody's in on it. Only, what was it, like 45% of Republicans support Trump on the Epstein files, which means the majority doesn't. How about this? As we all know, Trump is bombing random Venezuelan fishing boats and wants to bomb inside Colombia
and bomb inside Mexico and they're even lighting people up in the Pacific and lying and saying, oh, these are narco-terrorists and drug smugglers. Totally made up, totally untrue, they presented no evidence. Those boats would have to be refilled with gas 20 times in order to reach the United States. They're just murdering innocent people. Well, people see what's going on, and they also see that Trump wants to do regime change in Venezuela, and they this? Only 17% support it.
Let me repeat that. Only 17% support overthrowing Maduro in Venezuela. Wow. So they're sick of the warmongering. Now, the final point I want to make here. These polls are atrocious for Trump.
They're horrible for Trump. The Republicans are in serious, serious trouble in these midterms, assuming the election is fair and free, which is a big assumption. It's a big assumption. But um, I still have one more warning for Democrats though because this is super important. So there's one specific way in which on foreign policy he's actually doing better than Democrats have. And there's a very simple and reasonable
explanation as to why that is. And you as Democrats have to stop failing in your messaging to get the truth across, because you're giving him a win where he should have no win whatsoever. So look at this video, this is from Harry Enten, and he's gonna explain how in one specific way on foreign policy, Trump is actually doing good.
Ready? Watch.
This is one of the areas in which Donald Trump is performing significantly better than he was in term one. One of his best issues relative to term one. What are we talking about? Approval of Trump on foreign policy at this point in term one. Look, Donald Trump was just at a 35% approval rating, up like a rocket. We're talking about 43% now. That's an eight point rise on the net approval
rating. We're talking about a double digit rise. The American people like much more of what they're Trump and foreign policy in term two than they did in term number one. Now by the way that what he just said here is completely misleading. It's actually not true that they broadly support his foreign policy because broadly speaking his foreign policy is massively warmongering all over the world. He bombed fishing boats in Venezuela. He bombed fishing boats from Trinidad and Tobago in Colombia. They're plotting regime change in Venezuela. He bombed Yemen, Somalia, Iran. He threatened Greenland, Panama, Canada, and Mexico. He said he wants to reinvade Afghanistan. That's all just in this term.
That stuff is not popular. It's not even close to popular, but you're about to see where this high number comes from. Here we go. Often presidents in their second term, usually later in their second term, frankly, will turn to foreign policy. How does President Trump compare to past presidents in their second term? You know, this to me is one of the most interesting data points because normally when we look
at these data points, we see that Trump is doing worse than other presidents. But on this one, he is doing significantly better because take a look here. All right, 21st century foreign policy approval rating at this point in term two, George W. Bush was down at 36 percent. Barack Obama was at 37 percent. Look at this point in a second term than any other president who served their entire second term in the 21st century.
This is something I think Donald Trump really likes to look at because the bottom line is this presidents like to build their legacies off of foreign policy and at this particular point the American people like much more of what Donald Trump's doing on foreign policy
than either of the two other 21st century presidents who served at least or served two

Get started freeterms. So now let me just point out real quick, George W. Bush, two illegal wars that we were mired in at this point. Barack Obama, he had done the surge in Afghanistan, which they say was working, but it wasn't working and the American people were sick of the war. Why is Trump's number so high? Why is it so high?
You're about to find out. and taken to the Oval Office very shortly here. How about specifically how voters feel about what the president did in Israel and Gaza?
Yeah, I think part of the reason why Donald Trump is significantly higher than either Obama or Bush is what happened with Donald Trump able to help formulate a peace deal between the Israelis and Hamas. What are you talking about?
Net approval rating Israel-Hamas conflict? Look at this. Joe Biden was 37 points below water by the end of his presidency way way way way down there. Look at Donald Trump actually in the positive area look at this a plus three net approval rating. The American people liked what Trump was able to do between the Israelis and Hamas and that I think is a large part of the reason why his foreign policy
is at the apex compared to other two-term presidents this century. So in other words you know how Trump made a giant show of doing this peace deal this ceasefire and he went to Israel, he gave a speech to the Knesset, he had, you know, he had the media talking about it, he made this big spectacle, this theater out of, look we got a deal, we got an agreement. Now what did I tell you guys from day one? This is fake, this is not real, and in fact it's now been proven that we were right about that all along, literally within a week it was already shown to be fake. In fact, article we just saw the other day, Israel has destroyed I believe the number was over 1,500
buildings in Gaza since this so-called ceasefire, since this fake peace agreement. In fact, Israel has killed hundreds of innocent Palestinians since this ceasefire, this fake ceasefire, this fake peace deal. So in other words, Trump, as I've told you guys many times before, is the master of branding. He's the master of theater. He's literally a TV guy. He was a reality TV star celebrity. And so, he knows how to shape perceptions, right? And so, he did this whole thing about how, oh, look at me, I did peace because I love peace. We don't like war, we like peace.
Then lets Israel continue to fucking kill as many Palestinians as they want, continue to destroy as many buildings in Gaza as they want. The media is fucking sound asleep. They don't cover this. It's very rare, you know, you get like drop site news is covering this stuff all the time. Outside of that, maybe some foreign media is covering it. But outside of that, not much. And so, what do you think happens
when the media says, and Trump says, and politicians say, oh, we got a peace deal, don't worry, it's over, we got a ceasefire, it's over. And then the media doesn't update you that it's actually not over. People start to think, like, oh, I guess Trump ended that. So this is shame on the media, shame on the media for not giving people the real updates about how this was a completely and utterly fake ceasefire. Shame on the media for that. But more importantly, shame on the Democrats for that.
I remember when Trump did this big show about ending the war, which he didn't do, I saw like Elizabeth Warren and Democrats were tweeting like, oh I support this move, this move. It's like, what are you doing? He's a liar, he's a con man, this is not real. It's literally, let's announce a fake ceasefire, a fake peace deal, and then everybody will look away, and then Israel can go right back to continuing the genocide, right in front of our faces, to the extent that any outlets are actually showing it.
So it is just, it is just absolutely disgusting. It is just absolutely disgusting because you're not getting the truth. But this is the reason why his approval rating is so high. And let me just remind you, and this is super important. Israel has violated 31 UN Security Council resolutions and over 100 General Assembly resolutions.
The last ceasefire in Gaza before this one, they violated 962 times. They violated a so-called ceasefire that they have in Lebanon over 4,500 times. Okay? This is a rogue terrorist death cult regime. That's what they are.
And if the media is not talking about it, and the Democrats aren't calling Trump's peace deal a fake peace deal and showing how it's bullshit and showing how kids are still being bombed, then what are we doing here? You're basically like letting him get away with the most disgusting lies of all time and it worked like it literally reflect It's reflecting the numbers 43 is not a good approval rating but relative to other presidents. It's
It's good, right relative to other second term presidents. It is fucking good and so the fact of the matter is this the US has given Israel 300 billion dollars that could give health care to every American that's uninsured that's free college for a year you could end homelessness with that money but these are the arguments Democrats should be making and And then that number would go down from 43%. You could drive that number all the way down to fucking like 15% if people really knew how full of shit this man was. How much it's a lie and you showed the carnage that's still going on in Gaza that Israel's doing on purpose.
And I haven't even mentioned the West Bank. You're gonna trust this government to make a peace deal when they're allowing illegal Israeli settlers to rampage through the West Bank, steal more territory, light olive trees on fire, destroying the livelihoods of these innocent people? Like it's just a sick joke. It's just a sick joke. Sick, depraved joke. So remember Democrats, super important. Yes, he's collapsing under the weight of his own bullshit in many ways, but there are some lies. If you don't correct the narrative, nobody will.
The media is not gonna do it for you. People are not just gonna know through osmosis that Trump is lying on this thing and he's full of shit. You need to make the case. So again, I come back to, I know Trump is doing horribly in the polls overall,
but could you imagine how record-breakingly bad it would be across the board? Across the board! If the Democrats actually knew how to fight and talk about the right things. And so, you gotta wake up, you gotta fight harder, you gotta destroy all of his bullshit narratives, because they are exactly that, they're bullshit. But having said that, there's some pretty important lessons in all these poll numbers
that we just went through for everybody on all sides. Hey y'all, do me a favor and like and subscribe it helps out big time in the algorithm.
