🇺🇸 Donald Trump’s job approval ratings are falling among his once unshakeable base 📉

It is a pattern that can be seen in polling among all the groups that handed Mr Trump his victory in 2016

*A thread*
Tommy Stallings never envisioned the time would come when he would consider voting for a Democrat

Born and bred in deep red Texas, he had no doubt who to vote between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in 2016. Four years on, he deeply regrets his decision
With the state suffering some of the worst coronavirus rates in the country, some polls have put Biden and Trump neck and neck in Texas

Some pundits have gone so far as to suggest that this November, the Lone Star could turn blue for the first time since 1976
The group abandoning Mr Trump in the greatest numbers appears to be the over 65-year-olds

One of them is Jay Copan, a retired 68-year-old from North Carolina, who voted for Mr Trump in 2016 and describes himself as "fiscally and socially conservative”
Ann Kupitz, who lives in Arizona, another swing state, agrees. Ms Kupitz, a federal worker in her late-50s, voted for Mr Trump in the last election after losing faith with the political establishment.

She calls it the "biggest mistake" of her life.
Kupitz says she reached a turning point on June 1, when the president used officers to disperse peaceful protesters outside the White House in order to pose for a photo outside a nearby church
With 71 days to the #US2020 Presidential election, Trump has still time to win back the hearts of voters

As @timothy_stanley highlights, the appeal of Donald Trump on a big part of the American electorate is deep-rooted

Critical voices are getting louder, though. Will Republicans listen as they get ready to hold their convention today? #RNC2020
