Americans have had enough of the Deep State uniparty that has embroiled the United States in endless wars abroad while ignoring a collapsing economy and bread-and-butter issues at home.

Across the board, the RealClearPolitics average of polls on President Donald Trump’s and Congress’ job performance and how both parties are viewed is well more than 50 percent — and sometimes approaching 70 percent.

And those polls show why the third-party effort from podcaster Tucker Carlson, former U.S. counterterrorism chief Joe Kent, former GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, and outgoing Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky might well take off and become a serious threat to the GOP, and perhaps the Democratic establishment as well.

Trump’s Job Performance

On every measure — from the economy and inflation to foreign policy and his illegal war in Iran — Trump’s grades are a big, fat F, the RCP average shows. His disapproval number exceeds 50 percent on all fronts.

The worst figure for Trump is that for inflation: 67.7 percent of those polled disapprove of how he’s handling that issue, the average shows. In July, a Fox News poll put that figure at 73 percent. One reason: Consumer prices have risen significantly. In May, CNBC reported that Americans have paid $450 more for gas and other items since the war began.

“The average household has shelled out $447.19 for additional fuel-related expenses since the conflict began on Feb. 28, data from Moody’s Analytics found,” CNBC reported:

That’s cumulatively cost American consumers nearly $60 billion as gas prices and airline fares have surged.

And that goes only through May; the current figure might well be much higher.
