Republicans 'in for a world of hurt' after 'killer' Trump poll: conservative analyst

During an appearance on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” conservative journalist David Drucker suggested that, unless the Donald Trump White House makes a radical U-turn on some of his least popular policies, the Republican caucus can expect an apocalypse in November when voters go to the polls.

After stating the GOP lawmakers are likely “banging their heads on their desks” after the president insisted he will bring back his unpopular tariffs after Friday’s Supreme Court 6-3 smack-down, Drucker agreed and cited a new Washington Post/ABC News/ IPSOS poll that shows the president’s approval numbers are in a death spiral.

Speaking with the hosts, Drucker pointed to the meager 32 percent of voters who think Trump is “focused on the right priorities,” Drucker stated, “That's a killer.”

“The other problem he has is independents,” he added. “And in midterm elections, especially in all elections, but particularly in midterm elections, we've talked about this at this table, Independents are the whole ballgame. And so unless things change and they probably have a good five, five and a half months before the cake is really baked, they're in for a world of hurt.”

“And you go from just monitoring the House of Representatives to see how many seats are going to flip, to watch, and to see if the Senate will follow the House with it,” he warned.
