Trump's radical attitude worries Republicans

Can the majority of seats in the Senate be kept?

  Recent polls released by Reuters and Ipsos show that 55% of Americans disagree with President Trump's handling of protests.

  Senate Republicans are very anxious about Trump’s radical reaction in the national protests, and they worry that this will alienate those centrist voters who are critical to the Republican Party’s holding a majority of seats in the Senate after the November election.

  Senate Majority Leader McConnell said at the beginning of the election cycle that winning college graduates and suburban women is the key to maintaining a 2020 Senate majority. Five months before the election, Senate Republicans worry that Trump is focusing on his supporters rather than swing voters, which would undermine their strategy.

  "The past week and a half have undoubtedly raised concerns about the politics of the presidential election and the impact on the Senate. One thing followed another, initially dealing with the new crown, and this is now." said a Republican senator who asked for anonymity. Another Republican senator who requested anonymity expressed concern about Trump's recent performance. "The tone and words he uses may hurt us."

  On the 3rd local time, a poll released by Quinnipiac University showed that Trump's approval rating in the swing state is only 1% ahead of former Vice President Biden. Three Fox News polls released on the same day also showed that Trump trailed Biden in Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona.
