Molly and NOTUS's Evan McMorris-Santoro dig into a wave of polling that shows Donald Trump at or near his lowest approval levels, arguing that the slide is being driven largely by economic frustration—especially volatile gas prices—alongside backlash to the Iran conflict and broader perceptions that he isn’t focused on voters’ priorities. They describe how Republicans, having tied their 2026 strategy closely to Trump, are trapped between needing his base and fearing his toxicity in general elections, while Trump himself appears unable or unwilling to effectively sell key agenda items like the “big, beautiful bill.” The discussion also highlights renewed attention to corruption allegations and fundraising access, and contrasts Republican dependence on Trump with Democrats’ ability to support candidates who publicly keep distance from party leadership, citing emerging races like Maine’s as potential signs of Democratic opportunity if Trump’s numbers remain this poor.
