THREAD: The LINCOLN PROJECT EFFECT, Polling & Townhall update from @projectlincoln Political Ops Directr @LucasHoltz__ & me: Trump's losing GOP support nationwide. The conservative-friendly Rasumussen polling shows that Trump earns only 75% support among his fellow Republicans.
Since ‘Mourning in America’ @projectlincoln has released a stream of ads targeted at the president’s shortcomings w/race relations, betrayal of American servicemen & women & failed response to Covid.
TLP has had a central role in driving 7% spike in Trump's disapproval since May

Trump disapproval’s w/ @ProjectLincoln ad releases. Of course, this isn’t all @ProjectLincoln driving negatives (Covid, economic crash, race relations, etc...) BUT tremendous social media reach is driving a national narrative - That’s YOU LP ARMY!
