Study released a day before State of the Union address shows president has lost support among Republicans
Most US adults think Donald Trump is moving the country in the wrong direction during his second presidency, according to a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll released the day before his State of the Union speech.
Fifty-five percent of adults feel that Trump is changing the country for the worse, a 13-point increase from around the same time of his first presidency, the survey conducted from 27 to 30 January found.
The number of people who held that view also increased four points from April.
Unsurprisingly, support for the president splits down party lines.
While these numbers look good, I wouldn’t hold my hopes high. Moderate republicans might be changing opinion but if they don’t swing enough to vote a dem, it won’t change anything.
And this is only if the elections happen and are fair, two things that right now are not granted.
They don’t need to vote dem, they just need to lose motivation to vote (either not vote at all, or vote for anyone non-GOP). The GOP cannot afford to lose many votes, so long as the elections are fair, as you say. The elections will happen in some shape or form (remember, even Russia has “”“elections”“”). The GOP has seats up for election and upcoming vacancies.
It’s just a matter of how fair they’ll be.
