He has no respect for NATO and has suggested invading at least two NATO countries.
He doesn’t seem to get that the more allies he pisses off, the less access to distant bases he is going to have, the more logistical problems he is going to have.
And also, I think, the real story. All well and good for people to tell pollsters they disapprove of Trump, but it won't amount to much if they turn around and elect another congress full of MAGA Republicans willing to give him a blank cheque.

We in Britain have, or more probably now had, a similar feature, the “Quiet Tory”. These would tell pollsters one thing, usually what they thought the pollsters wanted to hear, and then go into the polling booth and meekly vote Tory after all. From the outcome I think Brexit went the same way.
Yes. A fair few less 'quiet tory' votes, and we'd still be in the EU, and not suffering the fall-out of all that Brexit shite we were served up...
I suggest we are cursed with “Quiet Reformers” now. A bit of a stretch from the archetypal red-faced loon, frothing at the mouth, but I believe a lot of Reform voters are outwardly respectable despite being hooked by the “votes for boats”.

By "support", you mean approval ratings? Or willingness to vote for Republicans in November, or...?
The mid-terms are a whole different story.

Thanks.

You are, alas! probably correct.
