against the backdrop of mass unrest in the United States due police brutality and racial inequality, high unemployment and a large number of deaths from the coronavirus approval rating of US President Donald trump has shifted for the worse. However, despite all that, there is one group of voters that did not turn away from trump’s the Republicans.
Newsweek tried to figure out the secret to the success of the President among them.
According to experts, the success of the trump among Republicans lies in two points: in his appeal to the Republican electoral base, and in the long-standing party affiliation.
“Perhaps more than any other President in modern history, President trump ran and spoke almost exclusively with his electoral base,” said a senior editor at the Morning Consult Cameron Easley. “This is the reason why his support among Republicans is so high, and the number of its support among the broader electorate is so small,” he added. Easley also cited a survey conducted by Morning Consult on 6 and 7 June, which showed that only 39 percent of voters approved the results of the execution of his presidential duties, which is its worst level since Dec.
In the past few months, trump has often mentioned about his high approval ratings among members of the party. “The approval rating of the Republican party 96 percent. Thank you!” he wrote on the evening of 16 June.
In late may edition of the Washington Post wrote that the unsubstantiated statement of the President about the availability of 96 percent approval rating among voters of the Republican party are not based on actual survey data. However, his rating among Republican electoral base has been consistently high over the past three months. Some recent surveys, including a Morning Consult poll / Politico and survey data released by Scott Rasmussen (Scott Rasmussen), also confirm this.
Despite speculation that the trump among the voters of the Republican party is at least partially a result of the reduction in the number of registered Republicans, some experts are skeptical of this theory and point to figures showing a slight overall decline in the membership of the party.
