Republicans face voter rage

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republicans are in for a long, hot summer in Washington, and the blistering sun is only partly to blame. Two new polls show Americans souring on President Donald Trump’s extreme policy agenda.

The polls, from KFF and Fox News, reveal concerning trends about the Republican base, including that non-MAGA Republicans now oppose Trump’s signature legislation, the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which passed Congress earlier this week.

Five months into his presidency, voter confidence in the economy remains low. Despite Trump’s big talk of a new “golden age of America,” nearly 6 in 10 registered voters (58%) disapprove of his handling of the economy, according to Fox News’ poll. It also found that fewer than half (48%) say their family is holding steady financially.

If Trump’s troubles were limited to the economy, Republicans could distract voters by turning to the normally safe territory of immigration policy. Except now they can’t. Media coverage of Trump’s brutal deportation agenda has eroded voter support. Trump is currently underwater, on net, in his handling of immigration, according to election analyst Nate Silver’s polling average.

Not surprised.

5. Unfortunately, it is will of the people

30 years ago, Trump’s approval rating would be 30% for the chaos swamping our society. He is still in low 40’s, which means his support in congress is holding.

9. Sorry, I don't believe it

Majority of Americans could be living in tents and eating literal shit sandwiches and they would happily vote for him again because they cure all their issues by just saying "this is Biden's fault" or "this is Clinton's fault". It a MAGA "get out of jail free" card no matter what the issue is.
