Trump approval falls to 33%, lowest of his presidency, Reuters poll finds






In any normal campaign season, now would be the time President Trump and his embattled Republican colleagues would be trying to expand their base. Given a generic congressional ballot that has consistently favored Democrats by between 6 and 11 points, one would think appealing to the nation’s wary centrists and independents would be a matter of basic political survival for the Republican Party.

But this is not a normal campaign season, and Republicans aren’t led by a president with normal political concerns.


Almost one-fourth of Republicans now say they are financially worse off under Trump than they were under Joe Biden. Rather than connect with voters’ anxieties, Trump has raged against their ingratitude while dismissing their economic woes as hoaxes and delusions. It is certainly a novel approach to electioneering.
