Trump just reached an 'incredible milestone' — and it could cost him dearly: analyst

The poll was conducted about seven weeks after the war in Iran began, which is an issue that has caused significant strife between the president and his base. Pakman reacted to the new poll numbers in a new YouTube video on Sunday. So there are two possible interpretations of this, and they're actually both correct, he said. It is simultaneously true that in a cult of cults movement like MAGA Trumpism, for nearly a third of Republicans to say 'I disapprove,' that's an incredible milestone. That is a stunning change from where Trump was at the start of this term and certainly during his first term.Pakman also noted that Trump's approval rating among independent voters was hovering around 23, which could spell bad news for Republicans heading into the midterms. You don't win elections by losing independents, Pakman said. That is where general elections are sometimes decided, but very often, where midterm elections [are decided]. Now, there should be a blue wave coming. Democrats have said they plan to impeach Trump on day one after the midterms, The Telegraph reported.
