Vote Blue 🗳️🔵

Americans are anxious, pessimistic and unhappy with Trump ahead of midterms, with those saying the U.S. is on the wrong track at a second-term high.

Weeks ahead of Election Day, 71% of U.S. adults think the country is on the “wrong track.” It’s the highest share yet in President Trump’s second term, illustrating the grim national mood his party faces in the midterm elections, according to a new NBC News Decision Desk Poll powered by SurveyMonkey.

Poll respondents expressed deep unhappiness over economic conditions and widespread distrust toward both major political parties, but Trump and Republicans bore the brunt. For the first time in Trump’s second term, the poll has found the “right track” sinking into the 20s.

A majority of Americans view the president’s administration as uniquely corrupt, even as they look skeptically at corruption in both parties. And they say Trump is failing to improve their material financial conditions.

The Jefferson Hills Democratic Committee is deeply saddened by the passing of Michael “Doc” Kulish, Jr., Ph.D., a longtime friend, community leader, and dedicated public servant.

Doc devoted much of his life to serving Jefferson Hills. He served 12 years on Jefferson Hills Borough Council and was a longtime leader and active member of our Democratic Committee, including serving as Chairman. His commitment to public service reflected a genuine belief in giving back and making the community he called home a better place.

But Doc’s impact reached far beyond local government and politics. He dedicated his career to education and spent 34 years coaching the Thomas Jefferson High School Boys Soccer Team, mentoring generations of young people along the way.

Jefferson Hills has lost someone who gave an extraordinary amount of his life to this community. We are grateful for Doc’s many years of friendship, leadership, and service, and we extend our deepest condolences to his wife, Helen, his son, Michael, his family, friends, former players, and all those whose lives he touched.

Thank you for your service to Jefferson Hills, Doc. You will be greatly missed. 💙

May his memory and his many contributions to our community live on.

Read the obituary of Michael "Doc" Kulish, Jr. Ph.D from Pittsburgh, PA. Leave your condolences and send flowers to the family to show you care.
