Midterm elections are closing in like a dark cloud on the Grand Old Party, and many of Donald Trump's own allies seem to be attempting to cut off the hand to spare the body behind closed doors. The enlightening new poll from CBS/YouGov found that Trump's war with Iran maintains a 65 percent disapproval rating, with 66 percent believing that Trump's five-month, ongoing war with Iran is going "somewhat" or "very badly." Bearing this information in mind, Trump allies are desperate to pull Republican candidates back from the brink their leader has created. "My colleague Vaughn [Hillyard] and I have talked to multiple different senior officials, allies close to Trump, people in charge of leading the midterm strategy for Republicans. They’re advising candidates, whether they’re incumbents or challengers, Republican candidates, to essentially not talk about the war the same way President Trump is."
