Trump is underwater in specific polling on every issue, including crime, deployment of troops in cities, immigration, inflation, etc.

There is no data showing “a good portion” want the country to be under martial law.

About 15% max - the MAGA cult die hards, would support martial law - in somebody else’s city.
