    Looking at that poll there’s some interesting things. Like a hair bit more support for Russia from Dems than GOP. Or that, again, both are about the same for support of Ukraine, with the GOP being slightly better. And more. It’s almost like a majority of self identified Republicans do not share views in line with their elected representatives. Wonder if this has anything to do with the consistently poor showing that the Republicans have been having since 2020. Maybe playing to the fringe element of your party might not be the best course to take. Of course with conservatives the fringe tends to actually turn out to vote regularly.
