Study released a day before State of the Union address shows president has lost support among Republicans

Most US adults think Donald Trump is moving the country in the wrong direction during his second presidency, according to a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll released the day before his State of the Union speech.

Fifty-five percent of adults feel that Trump is changing the country for the worse, a 13-point increase from around the same time of his first presidency, the survey conducted from 27 to 30 January found.

The number of people who held that view also increased four points from April.

Unsurprisingly, support for the president splits down party lines.

    They’ll still vote for Republicans though, because it’s a part of their identity, and it’s in their nature to be hateful and ignorant

      A lot of them think along the lines of following generational trends. Such as their dad voted Republican, and their grandad did too, so they will do so blindly.
