Abstract

Donald Trump is one of the least popular presidents in recent history - and yet his approval ratings among Republicans remain high. Christopher D. Raymond looks at President Trump's popularity among the GOP, even as he introduces policies, such as the separation of immigrant children from their families, which many Americans oppose. He writes that up until now Republicans have been reluctant to abandon their party because of Trump, something that seems likely to continue.
