Opinion: From Fox, frightening news for GOP [View all]

We’re still a year away from the 2018 midterms, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a poll with such ominous news for a political party as the latest Fox News poll holds for Republicans.

In the last month, President Trump’s job-approval number has dropped four points, from 42 percent to 38 percent. It is down 10 points since February. In the last month, it has dropped precipitously, from 68 percent to 56 percent, among white men without a college degree, which is his core group of supporters. Among independents, his job approval rating is now just 30 percent. And according to Fox News, Obamacare is now viewed favorably by 52 percent of Americans, and unfavorably by 44 percent.

Nine months into his presidency, most Americans have also concluded that Trump lacks the knowledge (38 percent yes/60 percent no), judgment (37/60) and compassion (37/60) to function adequately in the Oval Office.
