Voters Less Likely to Support Candidate Who Backs Trump

A new Morning Consult poll finds that if a candidate running for elected office said they support Donald Trump, 38% of voters said they were “much less likely” to support them and 11 percent said they were “somewhat less likely.”

Among those who identified as independents, roughly one-third (34%) said they were much less likely to support a Trump-backing candidate, while 40 percent said they were more likely to support a candidate who opposed him.
