Trump Faces Voter Shifts Amid Administration Resignations
Donald Trump sees declining support among working-class white and young voters while Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle resigns amid ethics allegations.
Recent Wall Street Journal polling shows a decline in support for the Republican Party among working-class white voters, a traditional pillar of the coalition for Donald Trump. Half of these voters now believe the president's economic policies worsened the economy, creating more competitive electoral environments in Iowa, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Additionally, voters under 30 have shifted back toward Democrats, favoring them by 20 points for Congressional races.
Within the administration, Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned as U.S. ambassador to Greece following reports that she used her position for personal gain. In the legal sphere, a federal judge ruled that the administration must maintain White House access for reporters from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico during an ongoing legal challenge.
Separately, the United States Department of Justice warned the American Bar Association of a potential antitrust investigation. The probe concerns rules that limit the use of part-time professors in law schools. In state-level politics, New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte continues to maintain a lead in polls over her Democratic opponent.
