Our new Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll finds the president's overall job approval at a new low, Democrats leading by 7 on the generic ballot, and a majority says the Iran war is not worth the cost
I am still curious. All those folks who are turning against Trump... How do they feel about Vance? Who do they think is actually running the country right now?
Curious what your explanation is for polls that still show his approval in low 40s and other aggregators that have him still around -16 net? Lots of different numbers floating around.
My hope has steadily risen as Trump's numbers have dropped. At the same time, that hope is mitigated by Reagan's 1983 to 1984 numbers. He went from a 35% job approval at the beginning of 1983 to rebound to 58% just before the 1984 election in which he pilloried Mondale in a landslide. I am hoping you might compare that moment to this one, Reagan's presidency to Trump's. See Gallop's analysis for more: "Ronald Reagan From the People’s Perspective: A Gallup Poll Review." Really curious what you think; I'm hoping your thoughts might keep mine afloat.
To me it is sad, that only 12% of voters are concerned that trump violates every norm, skirts the laws, and is more interested in building his ballroom than the job he was elected to do. trump is not now and never was qualified to be anywhere near the presidency.
But if $6.00 gas and a war of choice is turning people against trump, so be it.
I assume those who are anti- trumpism are those who "cite elections and democracy," because trump is the biggest threat to elections and democracy.
"When we ask Americans to name the single most important problem facing the country, 34% say prices and inflation — the same issue where Trump’s approval is at its worst. Another 14% say jobs and the economy, 12% cite elections and democracy, and 8% name health care — rounding out the top four."
Basically, these data indicate that few are left who support Trump and his policies other than the die-hard core who will never leave. Whoever remains will leave when Fox/Murdoch decide to cut their losses as far as Trump is concerned to try to salvage the oligarchic agenda. Carlson et al have clearly already seen the handwriting on the wall. What would seem most predictive would be to break these data down by swing states and districts. Is that possible?
I saw a report in Politico last week IIRC that quoted some Republicans in the House saying he needs to stop yapping (though having trouble finding source on phone)

"Major changes are needed" my heinie. They will fall back in line licking the orange taint as soon as gas drops to $3 a gallon.

Yahoo elliot!!!!

Where are you getting the 12% number?

And it will drop even lower.
At what point do significant numbers of Republicans start trying to distance themselves from Trump?

Like saying the sun needs to stop rising.
Thank as usual, Mr. Morris, for a detailed and thorough analysis.
It's nice to feel some (guarded) hope for regime change in America this fall.
The upcoming primaries will be revealing.
