There’s overlap between the moderate Republicans and the college-educated whites. At the top are moderate Republicans, who are less approving of Trump now than were moderate and conservative Democrats of Obama at the end of his tenure. Trump’s approval ratings are driven heavily by how much support he gets from Republicans. If support from moderate Republicans continues to erode, Trump’s approval ratings will sink even further. It’s the people who voted for him reluctantly — heavily moderate Republicans — who will determine what happens next.
