   Trump is losing his most loyal supporters: Poll   
      
      
   Trump's use of Twitter is driving voters crazy, as his loyalists begin to   
   rethink their support   
      
   Voters are begging President Donald Trump to end his tweeting, and the   
   president’s most loyal supporters are beginning to waver.   
      
   According to a new Politico/Morning Consult poll, 69 percent of voters said   
   Trump uses Twitter too much and 59 percent said his use of Twitter “is a bad   
   thing.”  A majority of voters also believe that the president’s tweets are   
   a detriment to    
   national security, according to the poll.   
      
   But this is not a partisan issue, because Republicans are growing worried   
   about how frequently Trump uses Twitter as well. “A 53 percent majority of   
   GOP voters say Trump tweets too much — though slightly more Republicans say   
   Trump’s use of Twitter    
   overall is a good thing (41 percent) than a bad thing (37 percent),”   
   according to Politico.   
      
   Twitter is not the only thing hindering Trump’s presidency, because the   
   president’s traditional die-hard supporters are beginning to change their   
   tune, according to the Washington Post.   FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Silver   
   pointed out that there has    
   been “a considerable decline in the number of Americans who strongly approve   
   of Trump, from a peak of around 30 percent in February to just 21 or 22   
   percent of the electorate now.  (The decline in Trump’s strong approval   
   ratings is larger than the    
   overall decline in his approval ratings, in fact.)”   
      
   A poll released by Quinnipiac University on Wednesday corroborates Silver’s   
   observation, according to the Post.  “If you look at the trend in   
   Quinnipiac’s polling since January, strong approval of the president’s job   
   performance has faded in a    
   number of constituencies — including Republicans and whites without college   
   degrees.”   
      
   Those who once expressed “strong support” for Trump —Republicans, whites   
   without a college degree, white men, 65 and older, white women, Independents   
   and 18- to 34-year-olds — have all seen a steady decline.   
      
   “It’s rare that opinions of people flip 180 degrees in politics.  For   
   example, when people are changing their minds about who they’ll vote for,   
   there’s often a way-station at ‘undecided’ before their candidate choice   
   flips.  Similarly, people    
   are less likely to go from strong approval of what Trump’s doing to outright   
   rejection of it; instead, their approval would likely fade a bit first,” the   
   Post reported.
