Now, this is a nightmare scenario for Donald Trump. We are seeing in the data massive defections away from Donald Trump towards the Democratic Party. This isn't just anecdotal videos here. And at this point, it's now being demonstrated in lots of polling. I want to show you how voters who supported Donald Trump are now in a mass exodus, moving away from him. And that's why we're seeing Democratic over performances in all of these special elections by about 15 to 20 points as we approach the midterms. It's why the MAGA Republicans are returning from recess in, in such a deep, deep panic. It's why they're trying to rig all of the maps. Let me just share with you a story first. Let me share with you two stories, then let me dig into the data. Obviously, the first story, you know, we reported it first here on the Midas Touch network. In Iowa's Senate District 1, the Democratic candidate Caitlin Dray flipped a Trump plus 11.5 district in Iowa. Trump, shortly thereafter, you had the MAGA Republican senator in Iowa, Joanie Ernst, announced that she would not be seeking reelection. And there was a flip in that Senate district seat of Caitlin, where Caitlin Dre won by close to around 20 points. So that's my first story that I want to share with you before digging into the data. The next story I want to share with you is this one right here. Trump wants to axe an affordable housing grant. That's a lifeline for many rural communities. Now, Donald Trump, of course, promised that he would make things cheaper and he would make housing affordable. Things products are far more expensive right now, despite Donald Trump saying that he solved inflation and that prices are at record lows. That just simply not true. And housing right now is a problem, especially in rural areas right now. Um, so you take a look at this. Trump and House Republicans in their budget are seeking to cut and eliminate the home affordable housing program that's built or rehabbed 1.3 million homes in 30 years, including 540,000 in rural areas. 84% of these homes are in districts that voted for Donald Trump. Rural families are now facing losing a major lifeline. So you see a story like this. You see Heather Colley. She's right there in this picture with her son. Um, her and her two children move four times over five years. They fled high rents in Tennessee. They couldn't afford it. She was making $18 and 50 cents an hour. She's a 45 year old single mother. She votes for Donald Trump in 2021. Who was president in 2021, though former President Biden. She submits an application under this home program that changed her life. While Biden was in office, she qualified for a $272,000 nonprofit grant for her to live in a three bedroom home. Because this grant program made affordable housing for her. She appli. She applied. She qualified. Every time I pull into my garage, I pinch myself, she says. Now Donald Trump wants to eliminate that grant, the home Investment Partnerships program. And the House Republicans overseeing the negotiations did not include it in their budget. They want to get rid of rid of it. Experts and state housing agencies say that would set back tens of thousands of future affordable housing developments nationwide, particularly hurting the Appalachia towns and rural counties where government aid is sparse. And you think about Appalachia, that's J.D. vance as Mr. Appalachia. He's phony about it. He grew up in the suburbs. So rich kid from Cincinnati or middle class kid from Cincinnati, but they're screwing their own voters right here. So Collie who voted for Trump said maybe they don't realize how far reaching these programs are. I understand we don't want excessive spending and wasting taxpayer dollars. But these proposed budget cuts across the board make me rethink the next time I go into the polls. You think that they make you rethink? Sounds like you should rethink it if he's throwing you out of your home. And you got the program when former President Biden when you got the home under a program when former President Biden was in office. So you look at other professions too. Farmers are getting crushed again under the Trump regime. They got crushed during Trump's first administration. Fertilizer costs are through the roof. The tariffs are causing a lot of other farm products to go through the roofs that we get from Canada and other places and also other countries, because Trump has attacked them, are not buying from our farmers anymore. They're going to Brazil or they're going to Australia or they're going to Canada. They're going to other areas and they're not buying American products. So he's screwing over farmers. Now let's just take a look at the data especially here's a good cross step. Latino voters right now. This is new from Equus Research. About a quarter of Latinos who supported Trump in 2024 are now either expressing regret or they're disappointed that they voted for him. And there continue to be signs of defection. Get this, 11% of Trump voters say they plan to support a Democrat in 2026. 11% of Trump voters. So now extrapolate that for independence, right? If 11% of Trump voters are voting Democrat, what multiple would you put on independents who may have voted for Trump? I would conservatively do a 2x, maybe a 3x multiple. So you can imagine a situation where 20 or 30% of the independents voting for Trump can now swing towards the Democrats as well. My dogs Taquito and Cheeto are the happiest dogs ever. You know why?

Now if you look at some issues as well, Trump's focus on immigration and deportations and lack of delivery on the economy drive the disappointment and regret among Latino voters. Some of Trump's most unpopular policies include immigration raids at workplaces 77% disagree detention centers, concentration camps like Alligator Alcatraz, 75% and allowing ICE agents to use masks and civilian clothes during immigration arrests. 74% do not support Overall Trump's net job approval among Latinos is negative, 31, down 7 points since April. And a majority of Latino men, 56% now disapprove of Trump's performance. And Trump's lowest approval rating is on Latinos top issue. 73% of Latinos disapprove of his handling of the cost of living. That's equus research. But let's go to Quinnipiac. Trump's overall approval in quinnipiac is only 37% and his net approval and handling crime, negative 12. Foreign policy negative 16. The economy negative 18. But let's look at another well known poll, Gallup. Trump's approval and Gallup is 37%. And then 58% disapprove in that poll. Now let's take a look at some of these stories that also shed light on this. Here's a Trump Latino voter who's saying that he absolutely regrets regrets his vote. Play this clip.
Interviewee/Farmer (15:13)
All right, guys, I really want to have to get on here and do this, but, but I had to. These are fiberglass stakes right here, those big bulky stakes on the back of the truck, wooden stakes. I called two weeks ago to get a quote on these fiberglass stakes because we need some more stakes this year. I got a quote, 83 cent. I called the man this morning. I said, hey, I said, I know these tariffs are crazy, everything going on. I said, what can you do me on those fiberglass stakes? Now if we needed a load, it's a three month ETA from time you place the order. He said, taylor, he said, you don't want to hear this price and I'm about to give you. And I said, well, give it to me anyways. He said, each of those steaks now is going to be a $74 a piece. I said, well, you know and I know both that we can't do that and that's going to be impossible. So that's just to let you know a little bit of what we're going through out here on our farm and what farmers in general are going through. These tariffs. Not the best thing for our country.
Commentator/Reporter (17:20)
So folks, I wanted to give you a very data driven approach right here that you can see and judge for yourself. But it does seem like, okay, well Democrats are overperforming in all these special elections by like 15 or 20 points. And then you pull back, you have the anecdotal stories and then we look at the other, the surrounding data and I think it's persuasive. Persuasive. We'll need to know more. We need to keep working hard getting out the message. But the message, the truth is getting out. When Trump says there's no inflation and the economy is booming, people know that's a lie. And we all collectively play a major part in getting the message out. You watching this by sharing these videos and letting people know like this is actually having a massive difference.
