Soโ Aaron, do we see either the declines that you're talking about or the resilience of Trump's approval concentrated in any particular groups? I'm particularly interested in, you know, after the election, there was so much talk about the new groups that Trump had brought into the Republican Party, how well he'd done with young people, with Latinos, with African-Americans.
How is he doing with these different demographics?

It's a great question. Thank you, Jackson. And this is why this whole discussion matters, right? Trump doesn't have to run for election ever again. He will not be on the ballot in the upcoming midterm elections. But those Republican members of Congress in swing seats, they are very much on the front lines of this. They are getting angry blowback from their constituents.

But, you know, as Jackson says, most Republicans still see the best political strategy as sticking with Trump and trying to help him be successful and hoping that that is what is going to ultimately reassure voters when they eventually have to face them.
