So this is interesting… Trump’s approval rating among Republicans has dropped below 80%, at least according to this Marist poll (taken before Saturday and the subsequent festivities). For comparisons sake, GW Bush didn’t fall below 80% among Republicans until February 2006 and then hovered around 80% for another year.

Remember, what Congressional Republicans fear isn’t Trump, it’s the base that has been so supportive of Trump (and that mostly manifests in the fear of a primary challenge). If the polls that come out at the end of this week show a big drop for Trump among Republicans… all bets are off.

I figure you won’t see serious movement among Republicans until next year, when the first post-primary polls start coming out showing that Trump’s disapproval rating is dragging down candidates in “must-win” states. That’s when all but the most ardent supporters will start speaking out against him.
