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.

    A good portion of Americans, even many who despise Trump and MAGA, don’t really believe that we would ever fall that far. They believe that somehow there will be a floor where they may not like the overall direction, but things will mostly be more or less okay.

    They don’t understand that people like Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller, Bannon, Hegseth, Noem, Lewandowski, etc., and even Trump himself, are dreaming of a nation in which they can simply order the executions of anyone they want, for any reason at all. They are working hard every day to achieve that level of power, and we have to take their efforts extremely seriously. They HATE us, and they WILL kill millions of us, if they get the opportunity.
