Republican Pollster Sounds Alarm as GOP Support Collapses Under Trump
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Republican pollster has warned that the GOP is losing support under President Donald Trump. Speaking to conservative commentator Alex Jones on The Alex Jones Show, Mark Mitchell, the head pollster at Rasmussen Reports, said support for the Republican Party was decreasing, which could lead to the party losing the House in the midterm elections. Why It Matters Trump's popularity has fluctuated in the first six months of his second administration. Policy issues such as tariffs and the administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case have sparked anger among the electorate, which could affect the GOP's performance in future elections.

AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File What To Know Speaking to Jones, Mitchell said Rasmussen's latest polling showed that Democrats were leading Republicans by 4 percentage points, an improvement from last month when the Democratic Party was ahead by 1 percentage point. He said this could lead Republicans to lose the House in the midterms, adding that such a result "would be probably the end of Donald Trump's political capital because he would lose his ability to get any legislation done." He said regaining the House could embolden Democrats to launch investigations against Trump and hamper his policies. Mitchell called this moment "a turning point" for the administration—blaming the Epstein saga, which he described as "a horrible optics mistake," for the decreasing support. However, he said Trump's net approval rating—which went from +8 to -4 in under three weeks—had recovered to a +2, so his fortunes might improve. A July poll of 1,164 likely voters, conducted by Rasmussen Reports, found that 56 percent didn't believe the FBI and Justice Department were telling the truth about files related to Epstein, while 21 percent believed the government. Mitchell called this Rasmussen polling "thermonuclear" in a YouTube video explaining the poll results. He said Trump could lose the House and Senate over the polling. Other pollsters have also spelled bad news for Trump. A survey by The Economist/YouGov, conducted July 11 to 14, found that 55 percent of respondents disapproved of Trump's job performance, while 41 percent approved. However, other recent polls have painted a more positive picture. According to polling by The Economist/YouGov, the president has a net approval rating of +80 from conservatives. This is similar to the levels at the beginning of his second term. He has also gained traction among Gen X voters. What People Are Saying Mark Mitchell, the head pollster at Rasmussen Reports, said on The Alex Jones Show: "Trump thinks that winning is enough, but it's not. It has to be about accountability." What Happens Next Support for the president and the Republican Party will likely fluctuate in the weeks and months to come. The midterm elections are largely scheduled for November 3, 2026.

'They'll Get US Nuked': Old Clip Of Alex Jones Blaming Israel For 9/11 Viral Amid Syria Strikes
Last Updated: As tensions rose in West Asia, following Israeli strikes on Syria, a clip by famous right-wing podcaster Alex Jones blaming Israel for 9/11 has gone viral. Alex Jones, right-wing commentator of the famous The Alex Jones Show, has gone viral once again for an old video from his podcast shot a day after the September 11 terror attacks. Back on September 12, 2001, during an early episode, Jones made controversial remarks blaming Israel for the 9/11 attacks. ' 'I don't support the Palestinians either. They're all hyped up and psychotic. But Israel's going to get us nuked, always backing them up like this. Israel calls the Palestinians goyim, or cattle, or dogs, or subhuman. They keep them on concentration camps. I've got video of them taking Palestinian women's tomatoes they grow, and breaking their water containers, and stealing. That's why you have this crap," the podcaster says in his rant. 🇺🇸🇮🇱 Alex Jones blamed Israel for 9/11 a day after it happened."We're gonna have nuclear war, because Israel likes to go around bombing everybody." — Censored Men (@CensoredMen) December 8, 2023 'And our children are going to die. We're going to get nuked because of this. Iran's got the nukes now, (and) Syria. We're going to have nuclear war because Israel likes to go around bombing everybody," Jones says in the now-viral clip. The clip appears to have resurfaced amid Israel's airstrikes on Syria. Israel has bombed Syrian government sites and other targets since Monday, saying it was seeking to defend the Druze minority after bloody sectarian clashes in southern Syria. — RiftTV (@TheRiftTV) April 10, 2025 Technically at war with Syria for decades, Israel has said it would not accept the presence of forces of the Islamist-led government in the country's south, which borders the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. 'I'm sorry. It's just the facts. I have been supportive of Israel for many years. When I found out what they do, shooting little Palestinian children and laughing, it's on video," he says. Jones made similar comments earlier this year while appearing on another podcast where he accused Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, of dragging the US into war in West Asia. view comments First Published: July 17, 2025, 21:28 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
