almost 80% of REPUBLICANS agree.
The man is completely out of control. The people have spoken. Time to reel it in and get his act together.
And this also reveals the right wing bubble. The MAGA cult who still thinks Trump can do no wrong and that he can defy the courts is a tiny minority.
But if you read right wing publications including comments, Republicans DO think that he is following court orders. Read comments on Fox News, it's the judges who are doing "illegal" things so they justify Trump. National Review has a more reasoned approach and does hold Trump accountable for faulty legal rationale in their view, depending on the issue. But lost MAGAs are not on National Review, they are in Fox News or podcast programmers that spin narratives that sound good to them.

For the midterms, it definitely matters. And even before that - Congress is not powerless, and if Trump's approval gets low enough, they will notice.
if the GOP doesn't care about the lawlessness now and are staying silent, low polling isn't going to change that in a few months or year, and by then, the stormtroopers will be entrenched.
Republicans, both voters and congressspeople, are not happy right now. Really, they aren't. Republican congresspeople are trying to wait it out but it's not going to work - and they will turn. The next few months are crucial.
Honestly though, the data does not support your statement. Look at yougov data cut by political affiliation. Republicans are very happy and more so than the week of inauguration. I hate Trump, but I also firmly believe in data over vibes (which is also a reason I cannot stand Trump, but anyhow...)

Other declines since Inauguration:
18-29 y/o - 9 point drop, now 44%-48%
Indies - 13 point drop, now 37%-54%
Hispanics - 25 pointt drop, now 31%-61%
Wow that is quite a drop for Hispanics.
What did those fools expect?
I mean, absolutely nobody expected this. One of the original writers of Project 2025 didn't even expect Trump to do it.
