Polling and GOP Leaks Highlight Political Challenges for Donald Trump
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.
