Three national polls indicate that President Trump's approval ratings are at new lows, with only 33% to 36% approval reported. Among Republicans, 95% of MAGA supporters approve of Trump, while only 47% of non-MAGA Republicans do. As a result, many Republican candidates are distancing themselves from Trump in their campaigns, reflecting a growing divide within the party. This trend is seen as a strategy to appeal to a broader voter base ahead of the midterms.
