The article by Miranda Devine discusses a recent Rasmussen poll showing that President Trump's approval rating has dropped due to the ongoing controversy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death. The poll found that most voters, including Republicans, believe there are still unanswered questions about Epstein's case and that powerful individuals need to be held accountable. Devine argues that Trump's base is seeking truth and accountability, not just regarding Epstein but also for other perceived injustices, such as the Russia hoax and the treatment of Trump supporters by the FBI and DOJ. She criticizes the Trump administration for not delivering on its promises of accountability and for seemingly downplaying the Epstein scandal.
