(6 years ago)Republicans today are more pessimistic about the direction the United States is heading than they have been at every point in President Donald Trump's mandate, whose government has been hit by three crises of coronary pandemic, economic downturn and massive protests against police brutality and racism.

Only 46 percent of Americans who define themselves as republic believe the state is on track, a Reuters and Ipsos survey conducted last week showed.
This is the first time since 2017, when a rally organised by white racists in Charlottesville, Virginia ended up in violent clashes with protesters, that support has fallen so low.
On the other hand, in early March, some 70 percent of the Republicans were optimistic about the direction the United States was heading.
Pessimism among Trump supporters could jeopardise his fight for a second term. The elections for the president of state are held in November, and Trump's challenger is Democrat Joe Biden, a former vice president in the two mandates of Barack Obama.
If the U.S. was on the wrong track, 37 percent of Republicans believe that 17 percent of them said they would vote for Biden if elections were held now, and 63 percent plan to vote for Trump.
By referring to anonymous sources, says Trump in the November elections will not be supported by former Republican President George W. Bush, not from Senator Mitt Romney, Obama's opponent in the 2012 elections.
Republicans hope that economic recovery in the autumn will still improve Trump's prospects.
Last Friday, it was reported that 2.5 million people were employed in the middle of a coronary pandemic in May. Trump called it the largest <x0rebeler in American history”.
