Most Say They Would Not Vote for Trump

January 29, 2019 · 6:38 am ET · Leave a Comment

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds 56% of all Americans say they would “definitely not vote for him” should President Trump become the Republican nominee, while 14% say they would consider voting for him and 28% would definitely vote for him.

Majorities of independents (59%), women (64%) and suburbanites (56%) rule out supporting Trump for a second term.

Also interesting: While 75% of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents approve of Trump’s performance in office when asked separately, nearly 1 in 3 say they would like to nominate someone other than Trump to be the party’s candidate for president.

Here's a News Tool Worth Trying

I spend a lot of time following political news, but even I can't read everything. That's why I appreciate what Ground News does.

It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

Take a look for yourself. Political Wire readers get 40% off Ground News Vantage at ground.news/politicalwire.
