JUST IN: Republican support for Trump rises after racially charged tweets: Reuters/Ipsos poll
NEW YORK - Support for U.S. President Donald Trump increased slightly among Republicans after he lashed out on Twitter over the weekend in a racially charged attack on four minority Democratic congresswomen, a Reuters/Ipsos public opinion poll shows.
Trump, who is seeking re-election next year, has lost support, however, with Democrats and independents since the Sunday tweetstorm. The results showed strong Republican backing for the president as the U.S. House of Representatives voted on Tuesday night on a symbolic resolution to condemn the way Trump has publicly singled out the four Democratic lawmakers.
In that instance, Trump’s net approval dropped by about 10 points a week after the Charlottesville rally.
