What happened
A new Reuters survey reported Donald Trump's approval rating at 32 percent, which is the lowest in Reuters polling of both his terms. This comes as a CNN poll indicates voters are souring on the war in unprecedented numbers. Meanwhile, GOP operatives have reported that races in North Carolina and Georgia are rapidly slipping away, with some admitting Trump's failures leave them poorly positioned in red states and districts.

Why it matters
The low approval ratings and internal GOP concerns suggest challenges to Donald Trump's political viability. Morgan Jackson, a North Carolina operative, discussed how Trump's collapse among independents could have major long-term political consequences for both North Carolina and Georgia.
Rhodes has previously analyzed Donald Trump's political decline, citing Arizona's 2020 flip, Georgia's lost support, and viability challenges in North Carolina.
