"In what was the largest civil protest in more than 50 years, millions of Americans across thousands of cities and towns turned out for the No Kings protest, sending a stark message to President Donald Trump and his enablers: Trump's attack on democracy is despised by a lot of the country. At a time when Trump's seizure of power keeps growing in the face of weak opposition in D.C. from Democrats and none at all from Republicans, the marches were an important reminder that Trump is incredibly unpopular."
"According to a recent Pew Research Center survey, a majority of Americans believe that Trump has not improved government, has not improved America's standing in the world, and has not "set a high moral standard for the presidency." Moreover, a majority - over 60% - believe that Trump has abused his office by punishing people who say things he doesn't like and by using his office "to enrich himself or his friends and family.""
The No Kings protest drew millions across thousands of cities and towns, marking the largest civil protest in over 50 years. The protests expressed widespread opposition to perceived attacks on democracy and assertions that the president is abusing his power. Public opinion data shows a majority believe the president has not improved government, international standing, or the moral standard of the presidency, and over 60% believe he punished critics and used office to enrich himself or associates. High turnout, including in deep red states, underscored that the perception of invincibility around the president and his party is weaker than assumed.
