Trump And The Rs Are Not Winning, MTG Rips Into GOP Over Health Care, New Ads And Videos Are Flying in NJ and VA [View all]

Morning all. The CBS News poll released Sunday had Trump dropping 4 points in job approval since their last poll, and down 16 points all told (42%-58). Today’s Economist/YouGov weekly tracking poll has him dropping 3 and clocking in at an ugly -17 (39%-56%). In the generic ballot among registered voters Republicans dropped two points since last week, and Dems now have a 5 point lead, 44%-39%.

Trump’s waning ability to rally the public behind his big arguments is also very apparent in this new tracking poll:

Only 37% support the military in our cities

33% approve of his handling of the shutdown

30% blame Democrats for the shutdown

While they didn’t ask these questions this week, last week’s Economist/You Gov track had Trump at

38% approval on the jobs and the economy

36% on free speech

35% on health care

32% on inflation

and only 44% approval on immigration

In the Washington Post poll last week only 29% of voters wanted the ACA subsidies to expire. It was only 22% in the Kaiser poll.
