Poll: Trump's influence on the Republican Party has weakened after the midterm election defeat
A Politico poll conducted during the week after Election Day showed that two-thirds of Americans believe Donald Trump has lost at least some of his political influence within the Republican Party. 83% of Democratic voters and 57% of Republicans point to this weakening; even among MAGA supporters, only 40% believe his power has remained unchanged. More than half of respondents link the party's election defeat to Trump's actions, and the main reason cited for the Democrats' victory was the cost of living.
