'A major red flag for Republicans' as Trump's policies threatens their future

0

According to a new poll commissioned by Politico should be considered a "red flag" by Republicans already eyeing the 2026 midterms.

Despite not totally going into effect, the president is fast losing support even from some of his most ardent fans over his trade war with Politico reporting that a "quarter and nearly half of people who voted for Trump in 2024 have doubts about various elements of his tariff policies."

Trump may not be on the ballot in 2026, but his policies -- for better or worse –– will have a major bearing on whether the GOP can hold both chambers of Congress.

Politico is reporting, "The survey is a warning sign for Republicans, given how much the president has focused on trade and the promises he’s made to bring industries back to the U.S. Trump has also reignited global trade tensions in recent days, firing off a series of combative tariff letters to other nations threatening to impose significant new tariff rates on them."

The report goes on to note that 32 percent of Trump's voters support the tariffs but only if it doesn’t increase prices."
