An opinion poll has found that Republican support for President Donald Trump had a slight increase after he posted a series of Twitter posts over the weekend accusing several far-left Democratic congresswomen of anti-Semitic and anti-American behavior.

Trump ignited outrage after he unloaded several criticisms and accusations against “progressive” members of the Democratic party between July 14 and 16. This sparked a public feud between the president and four far-left members of the Democratic party—Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Rashia Tlaib (D-Mich.), and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.).
