Republicans Distance Themselves as Trump's Support Declines

Recent reports indicate a complex landscape for Donald Trump's approval ratings and voter sentiment since his return to office. While left-wing media highlights anecdotal accounts of voter regret due to cuts in federal funding and aid programs, polls suggest that Trump's approval ratings have actually risen to around 53%, higher than during his first term. Some Republican lawmakers have begun to express concerns over Trump's governance style, indicating a potential shift among certain factions within the GOP. However, these criticisms have not significantly impacted Trump's overall support, which remains robust among his base. In contrast, there are signs of dissatisfaction regarding Trump's handling of the economy, with various polls showing a majority of Americans believe he is not doing enough to address inflation and high prices. Despite this, Trump's approval on immigration remains strong, suggesting that his political fortunes are not entirely diminished.
