Donald Trump is seeing his level of intense support drop as white voters without college degrees are cooling on his presidency all of this has left the White House freaked out and worried that they will not be able to fight an energized left in 2018.
Axios reported, “Sources both inside and close to the White House are worrying about a loss of energy among the President’s base — or as one advisor colorfully put it, the folks who’d “walk over glass” for Trump…..Some White House advisors are worried that if these most intense supporters lose their passion for him, there’ll be no way to regain the energy in time to fight off a fired-up left in 2018.”
There are two statistical trends that have the White House freaking out. Trump’s base of strong approval has dropped from 30% in February to 21%-22% today, and his approval with white voters who don’t have college degrees has dropped from 60% at the end of March to 46% currently. The reason why Republicans are trying to rush through a healthcare bill is that they think that if they get Trump some “wins,” his approval numbers with his base will go up.
The problem is that the health care bill has an approval rating of 17%, which means that it is even less popular than the President, so passing the American Health Care Act might actually hurt the president instead of helping him.
The White House sees the momentum on the left combined with the apathy of their own supporters, and they are legitimately worried. A Democratically-controlled House would not only kill the Trump agenda but also take the Russia investigation to a whole different level.
Trump’s base is beginning to leave him, and if Republicans don’t do something quickly, 2018 could be a great year for Democrats.
