East wing destruction: 15% support strongly & 13% support somewhat vs. 11% oppose somewhat & 45% oppose strongly. [View all]

So, 28% support and 56% oppose, with 16% not sure/skipped. ABC News

Once, it was rare to see approve/support numbers under 40% for almost anything the felon did. Now we are regularly seeing numbers under 40, under 30, and even under 20 on specific parts of his agenda.

As Simon Rosenberg says, little cracks can become big cracks. And the Senate breaking with him on the Tariffs is a BIG CRACK. Particularly given that the rebuke comes before SCOTUS will weigh in on the tariffs. It may not make any difference, but along with the amicus brief filed by members (36 senators and 171 House members) the votes could actually shift things a little with Coney Barrett and Roberts (who have to be getting a little worried about their "legacy" as felon co-conspirators).
