trump enters the Republican National Convention this week politically wounded — and even some members of his own party are not convinced he can stop the bleeding.
Trump has trailed his Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, throughout the campaign.
It’s not just the overall polling gap that worries some in the GOP — it’s the president’s seeming lack of interest in expanding support beyond his base.
“You can read the polls as well as I can,” said Whit Ayres, a Republican pollster who has argued for years that the party needs to broaden its appeal in a changing nation. “The vast majority [of voters] have very firm views on the president, both pro and con, but elections are decided at the margins.”
Trump has forged ahead with a base-first strategy to an extent that is unique among presidents in the modern era.
