Trump Is a Massive Drag on Republicans

Dan Pfeiffer: “It’s hard to overstate how unpopular Trump is. His approval rating is at an all-time low, and his disapproval is at an all-time high.”

“On top of losing the public, Trump is unlikely to have the turnout machine he’s relied on in the past. On Election Day in 2018, 2020, and 2024, Trump’s strong approval among Republicans was near 70%. Today, it’s under 50%.”

“Trump’s approval rating with independents is also putrid. In 2018, it was in the low-to-mid forties. In the most recent NYT poll, only 27% of independents approve of Trump.”

“Put another way, an NBC poll found that only 30% of voters say a Trump endorsement would make them more likely to vote for a candidate; 52% said it would make them less likely.”
