What recent trends are affecting Donald Trump's approval ratings?

Once upon a time, there was a good shepherd who roamed the forest with a magic wand to all the residents of the delicious Christmas farm. There was a gift, if only some kind of treat. There was rosemary, sage, gingerbread, boxes, a carved log and... Yeah, this wasn't a Christmas tree, this was a shopping list. And it's long. Well, good luck with all the items you'll get for a delicious Christmas from S-Market. Joulu on ruokaa. S-market. Hello, this is Nolli. Here's a tip for you on the road.

Donald Trump's approval among Republicans is crashing. The latest NBC News report poll states the following, Trump's strong approval rating among those who call themselves MAGA, amongst MAGA Republicans just dropped to 70%. He has a 30% disapproval amongst MAGA. And then from others who just identify as Republican but not MAGA, his approval dropped from 57% to 50%. And we're seeing the pushback on a daily basis as Trump's behavior is just not acting like a freaking adult. Now we know about all the dastardly things he's done in terms of ripping away people's health care, how he lied about making things affordable on day one, and just everything that he says is an utter and complete fraud. But just the behavior, not acting like a freaking grown up and an adult, and we would never even want children to behave this way.

I mean, take a look after Donald Trump posted about Rob Reiner and In fact, Rob Reiner and his wife were murdered and the suspect is likely their son who suffered drug addiction. Donald Trump posted an attack on Reiner. And you have Republicans like Don Bacon saying, I'd expect to hear something like this from a drunk guy at a bar. not the president of the united states can the president actually be presidential marjorie taylor greene who donald trump said is no longer maga and she says she's american first not maga she goes rob reiner and his wife were tragically killed at the hands of their own son who reportedly had drug addiction and other issues and their remaining children are left in serious mourning and heart

break this is family tragedy not about politics or political enemies many families deal with a family member with drug addiction and mental health issues it's incredibly difficult and should be met with empathy especially when it ends in murder then you have people on trump's social media platform saying terrible response to this tragedy unbecoming of the office of president i voted for you three times but this is beyond the pale and as we head into the midterms, we've been seeing Democrats with about a plus 12 to plus 15 overperformance in these state races and special elections. And so is there going to be a blue tsunami, especially as politics is usually a game of addition, not subtraction, as Trump is losing support amongst Republicans in MAGA, as independents are going more Democratic, and as the Democratic base is fired up?

Let's take us to California for a moment where we can see after Prop 50 and some of the districts were redrawn there, MAGA Republicans are worried, MAGA Republicans are nervous. They're running away when they're being asked questions. I think we have the clip right here of Darrell Issa, one of Donald Trump's fixer Congress members just literally running away. And this guy represents the redrawn California 48th congressional district. He runs away when he's being asked questions about, hey, are you gonna be running here or in Texas? Watch this. Considering running, you can't close the door on me. What are you doing? Are you considering running for a seat in Texas? Why won't you answer the question, Mr. Issa?

I want to bring in Ammar Kampanajar. Ammar, good to see you running against that guy. Good to see you. Good to see you running against Daryl Issa, who's running against Manu Raju, apparently, and running away. He's running away from the camera.
