Deep dives
Trump's Favorability Rating Drops Among Republicans
Trump's net favorability rating has fallen nearly 10 points among Republicans and 5 points among all adults between May and July. The recent indictments have had a more significant impact on his favorability than previous charges. It is unclear how this will affect his future prospects in the primary and general elections.
Trump's Performance at the Iowa State Fair Raises Questions
Trump's brief appearance and lack of engagement at the Iowa State Fair raises concerns about his commitment to the primary race. His strategy of not making significant changes to his campaign and not actively engaging in early events may have implications for his electability in the general election.
DeSantis Struggles in New Hampshire Poll
DeSantis is currently third in a recent New Hampshire poll, behind Christie and Trump. This may pose challenges to his electability narrative and his strategy of securing a significant number of second and third-place finishes. The results suggest that DeSantis may not be as popular among Republican voters as he had hoped.
Unfavorable Ratings and the Impact on the General Election
Several polls indicate that a majority of Americans would not support Trump if he becomes the nominee in the general election. This finding is consistent with previous polls showing that voters who dislike both Trump and Biden tend to break heavily for Biden. The unfavorable ratings of both candidates suggest a highly polarized electorate and could influence the campaign dynamics.
The Effect of Trump's Indictments on the Campaign
The recent indictments and ongoing legal challenges against Trump have brought his legal troubles to the forefront of the campaign. While the full impact of these indictments on the race is uncertain, they have created significant headwinds for Trump's candidacy and could shape the discourse in the coming months.
