Midterm elections are closing in like a dark cloud on the Grand Old Party, and many of Donald Trump’s own allies seem to be attempting to cut off the hand to spare the body behind closed doors.
According to new reporting from MS NOW White House correspondent Jake Traylor, on Sunday’s episode of Alex Witt Reports, many of Donald Trump’s own close allies are going behind the President’s back, urging Republican candidates to publicly break with the President on the subject of the war in Iran, if they want any hope of securing a victory in their impending elections.
Yesterday, a truly damning poll went public, shedding a vicious light on just how deeply the vein of unpopularity regarding the Iran War runs among Americans, ahead of November, when Republicans will face their most dire and crucial election in modern history as they desperately claw and grasp to maintain their slim control over both branches of Congress.
The enlightening new poll from CBS/YouGov found that Trump’s war with Iran maintains a 65 percent disapproval rating, with 66 percent believing that Trump’s five-month, ongoing war with Iran is going “somewhat” or “very badly.” Two-thirds believe that the war should end immediately, while 60 percent believe that the President is basically lying, in an attempt to make things sound “better than they really are.”
