Trump Approval Stuck in the 30s

Washington Post: “Strikingly, Trump has lost enthusiasm among many fellow Republicans, a core source of his power for more than a decade. Reduced enthusiasm among those base supporters jeopardizes his party’s hopes of retaining control of Congress in November’s midterm elections.”

“Trump’s inability to shake these negative perceptions of his presidency within the broader public — especially on the economy and the war in Iran — further clouds prospects for Republicans this fall. Republican majorities in the House and Senate are both at risk, and a Democratic takeover of either chamber or both would hamper the president and dramatically change the governing dynamics in the capital for the last two years of Trump’s term.”

“Trump’s overall approval rating stands at 37 percent, identical to what it was in April. His disapproval is 61 percent, statistically unchanged from the previous poll. Among registered voters, Trump’s approval is 40 percent, little different than in the spring.”
