Poll after poll shows a bleak outlook for the Republican Party. As I wrote in my newsletter:

They don’t care about affordability. They don’t care about working Americans. They only care about doing what Trump tells them to do. 

And we see the result: 

The Atlas poll, rated A-plus, shows double-digit losses for Republicans on the generic ballot.

The New York Times/Siena poll — which usually trends more Republican than most — now has Democrats up 11 points on the generic ballot, 50 to 39. 

Trump’s approval has hit a second-term low: 37%. Sixty-four percent of Americans say the Iran war was the wrong decision.
