I always like reading Jennifer Rubin's columns in the Washington Post (and she's pretty prolific). This time, she comments on the most recent Washington Post/ABC News poll.
Poll warning for Trump and Republicans: Danger ahead.
Quoting:
First, unless you are a Senate Republican from a state with a whole lot of white evangelicals, association with Trump may be injurious to your political survival. That should leave lawmakers such as Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) and Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) from states with less than 26 percent white evangelicals looking to separate themselves from Trump (and consider breaking with him on impeachment).
Second, this is not a 50-50 country, but rather a country approaching 40-60 as Trump alienates just about every cross-section outside his base. Trump’s base is a dwindling minority of the population, and as isolated as his supporters are in the right-wing media bubble, that bubble has not tainted the majority of the country.
How will this play out with public testimony about Trump's abuse of power on TV? I don't know, but I can hope.
