The rise in unfavorability amongst the GOP comes after the 45th president was indicted twice and currently faces a potential third indictment.

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
