Republicans against Trump

Newsweek -   The latest Pew Research poll, conducted between June 2-8, shows that Trump's approval rating has grown since April among older Hispanics and Black voters, Asian women and moderate Republicans.

Donald Trump made considerable gains with Black, Hispanic and Asian voters in the 2024 election, increasing his share of the vote in all but two states in 2024.

These gains among key voting blocs traditionally aligned with Democrats could reshape the balance of power in Congress and embolden Trump to pursue more aggressive policies with broader public backing.

According to the latest polling data, Trump's approval rating among Hispanics aged 50 and over rose from 31 percent in April to 38 percent in June. Over the same period, disapproval declined from 67 percent to 60 percent, lifting his net approval rating from -36 to -22—a 14-point improvement.

Among Black voters aged 50 and older, Trump has also seen modest gains, though his overall approval remains deeply negative. In April, just 6 percent approved of his performance while 90 percent disapproved, giving him a net approval rating of -84. By June, approval among this group increased to 13 percent and disapproval fell to 85 percent, improving his net approval rating to 72.

 The Guardian -   A wide ranging Economist/YouGov poll conducted over the weekend revealed that 53% of voters who backed Trump in the 2024 presidential election do not want the country to join in Israel’s strikes.

It reinforces a long-held public appetite for a peaceful resolution to the objective of forcing Iran to give up its ambitions of acquiring nuclear weapons. A Chicago Council on Global Affairs-Ipsos survey in April found eight in 10 Americans favored diplomatic steps or tightening economic sanctions to limit Iran’s further nuclear enrichment.

 The Guardian - Women across the political spectrum are more concerned about the state of the US economy and inflation under Donald Trump than men are, according to a new exclusive poll for the Guardian. More Democrats than Republicans are now concerned about the economy following the president’s return to power. But pessimism was higher for women even among Republicans and independents, according to a new Harris poll.

Overall, 62% of women and 47% of men said that the economy and inflation is getting worse, a gap of 15 percentage points. The gender gap crossed party lines with both Democratic and Republican women expressing greater concerns about the economy than men did.
