Chuck and Mike take a hard look at the latest polling data for Donald Trump. With his initial presidential honeymoon fading, the hosts break down whether the dip in numbers represents a genuine decline or simply a normalization of his enduring base support. They break down what the data says, how Latino voters are reacting to the early months of the new administration, and whether Republican gains in Congress could be at risk. Plus, they discuss the budget fight in Washington, Elon Musk’s growing role in the Trump White House, and what it all means for the 2026 midterms. Tune in for expert insights on the state of the Latino vote!
