Analysis: Nearly a third of Republicans now view Trump as 'unfavorable': Pew
The rise in unfavorability amongst the GOP comes after the 45th president was indicted twice and currently faces a potential third indictment.

But they’ll vote for him anyway, because “something something baby eating Democrat pedophile vampires”.
Oh shit, really? I guess he’s got my vote then!
Sure does make a compelling argument.
Not in the.caucus or primary. If he somehow wins the party nomination many will circle around him again, but the nomination is up for grabs. I live in iowa so i'm already getting regular vote for me mailings from various candidates, though most people are not yet thinking about it much.
That's probably the third that gave up on the party when he was running for election the first time. The rest can't learn.
Its up 8% from last year and the number who viewed him favorable went down from 75% to 66%.
Overall, trump is at 63% unfavorable and 35% favorable. Biden is at 60% unfavorable and 39% favorable. Unfavorable has been growing for Biden, Harris, McCarthy, and Schumer, so the change might just reflect a general shift towards distrust of mainstream politicians.

I blows my mind that the American people are almost as distrustful as of a boring and milquetoast center right politician as they are of a open fascist who attempted to overthrow the government.
This country is lost
So apparently two thirds of Republics still do view him as favorable?
Yes, but these are cracks in the foundations. They weren't there when he was in office. If any of the other GOP candidates are serious about winning the nominations they ought to find a workable angle and start pressing.
My takeaway is less about who gets the nomination than about the truths this continues to force me to recognize regarding my Republican family members and colleagues, even the ones who aren't your typical trumpists.
The fact that it's only now up to 30% is yet more evidence that R cannot possibly reform itself enough in my natural lifespan to be worthy of ever getting a vote of mine, and that I have not been wrong to adjust my view of Republican friends and family members during the past few years.
They've done a damn good job of ensuring I will never miss even the tiniest local election for as long as I live though.

Few things have hurt more than watching people I love, people who raised me, cheer for the January 6 mob. I thought the anti-vax bullshit I've seen crop up was the worst, but that took the cake.
Not out here they ain't. Sounds like propaganda.
