Bombshell Poll Reveals Trump's MAGA Base Crumbling as Midterms Loom
www.thedailybeast.com

... President Donald Trump's approval rating is plummeting, even among his most loyal bloc.

A new Washington Post-Ipsos poll spells trouble for the party ahead of the midterms, showing Trump is stuck at 37 percent. Even more damning, though, is that a growing share of his own Republican base is losing enthusiasm for him.

The erosion runs deepest among his most committed backers. A new low of just 15 percent of Americans say they "approve strongly" of Trump, down from 19 percent in February, while 22 percent "approve somewhat." It marks the first Post-Ipsos poll in which a majority of Trump's approvers back him only "somewhat" rather than strongly, a sharp reversal from his first term, when roughly two-thirds of his supporters approved strongly.

Among Republican-leaning independents, approval has slipped to 52 percent, even as 81 percent of Republicans overall still back him. Trump remains most popular among rural adults (50 percent), white men without college degrees (53 percent), white Catholics (57 percent) and white evangelical Protestants (70 percent). ...

Monday's fatal shooting of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a Colombian immigrant, by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Maine, followed the ICE killing of a Mexican man in Texas, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a week earlier. Officers in unmarked cars pursued both men as they drove, though in both cases, a lack of body-camera footage obscures the full facts.

DHS claims the officer shot at Mr. Durán while "fearing for public safety" during an attempted traffic stop.

"I clearly heard the victim say, I tried to stop,'" witness Daniel Boucher told The Associated Press. ...

... In 2022, a group of prominent conservative legal experts"including former federal judges, Republican election attorney Benjamin Ginsberg, former Solicitor General Ted Olson and ex-U.S. Senators John Danforth and Gordon Smith -- released a report titled Lost, Not Stolen, concluding that "Joe Biden was the choice of a majority of the Electors" and that there was "absolutely no evidence of fraud" sufficient to alter the results.
