How the GOP turning into extra MAGA may very well be unhealthy for the GOP

Trump is, unsurprisingly, crowing in regards to the ballot. “A just out NBC Poll says that MAGA is gaining tremendous support. I am not, at all, surprised!!!” he wrote in a Fact Social publish.

After all, Trump is exaggerating the ballot’s outcomes, suggesting in his Fact Social publish that the complete nation is turning into MAGA—and never primarily Republicans, as NBC’s ballot discovered.

“All of that shift is coming from Republicans,” Invoice McInturff, a Republican pollster who helped conduct NBC’s ballot, advised the outlet.

In the end, the truth that Trump’s MAGA motion is steadily taking on extra of the Republican Social gathering may very well be a serious drawback for the GOP in upcoming elections. Whereas Republican voters might assist Trump, voters extra broadly—together with independents—don’t. 


President Donald Trump

A brand new ballot by YouGov for the College of Massachusetts at Amherst discovered simply 31% of independents assist Trump. A Quinnipiac College ballot from final week had comparable findings, with simply 36% of independents approving of the best way Trump is dealing with his job as president, in contrast with 58% who disapprove. What’s extra, 51% of these independents in Quinnipiac’s survey “strongly disapprove” of Trump.

After all, in swing districts, Republicans have to win over independents and presumably even some Democratic voters to get elected. Because the occasion has been taken over by MAGA, Republican candidates now must embrace Trump and his motion to win primaries. And that might damage them in a basic election.

In reality, this dilemma has been an issue for Republicans prior to now.

For instance, within the 2024 election, MAGA Republican Joe Kent—an election-denying white nationalist now in Trump’s administration—misplaced a Home race in Washington State in 2024 to Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, despite the fact that Trump carried the district.

Kent was the GOP nominee after he ousted a normie Republican, Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, who had voted to question Trump for his function within the Jan. 6, 2021, revolt on the U.S. Capitol.

And in 2022, MAGA damage Republicans within the midterms, with Trump’s hand-picked candidates shedding races Republicans ought to have received in a typical midterm 12 months when a Democrat was within the White Home. 

Trump’s picks sank Republicans’ possibilities at holding the Senate that 12 months, with nominees Mehmet Oz, Blake Masters, and Herschel Walker shedding winnable Senate races in Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Georgia, respectively. 

What’s extra, the MAGA candidates whom Trump endorsed in aggressive Home seats misplaced as effectively. That features Trump superfan J.R. Majewski, who misplaced in Ohio’s Republican-leaning ninth District, in addition to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who misplaced in Alaska’s at-large Home seat.

Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine

Now, in 2025, even pretty regular Republicans are defending and embracing Trump, which can make it laborious for them to shrink back from him and the MAGA motion within the midterms. Certainly, since Trump was sworn in in January, Republicans have misplaced winnable state-legislative particular elections and severely underperformed in a pair of Home races in Trump nation—an indication the backlash to Trump is already right here.

Polling exhibits that non-MAGA Republican Susan Collins, a senator in Maine, is caught between a rock and a tough place. Collins is operating for reelection in a state Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris received in 2024. However her penchant for caving to Trump on sure points, whereas standing as much as him on issues like tariffs, has made her unpopular with each Democrats and Republicans.

From a Public Coverage Polling survey in March:

The sensation from either side that Collins is letting them down results in a uncommon ballot discovering in these polarized occasions the place voters throughout the aisle agree about one thing. Requested whether or not they take into account Collins to be a powerful or weak chief majorities of each Harris (19/66) and Trump (28/51) voters name her weak. General simply 24% characterize her as robust with 59% calling her weak. 

These findings are placing Collins able the place she may very well be weak subsequent 12 months each in a Republican main and the overall election. 69% of Trump voters suppose Collins is ‘too liberal,’ presumably leaving her weak to a problem from somebody to her proper. However 69% of Harris voters suppose she’s ’too conservative,’ suggesting she may wrestle to win the kind of crossover assist from Democratic leaning voters that’s fueled her success prior to now.

As Collins would say, all indicators say Republicans must be very “concerned” about elections over the subsequent two years.
