One in three Republicans now think Donald Trump was wrong candidate choice
One in three Republicans now think Donald Trump was wrong candidate choice
A new poll has revealed changing attitudes to Trump from his Republican supporters.
One in three Republican voters would have preferred a different candidate to Donald Trump for the upcoming presidential election.
In March, the former president won enough primary races to secure the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election.
However, according to a survey of 1,003 Americans by Canadian polling firm Leger, Trump does not command the full support of his base and 33 percent of this demographic would have preferred another politician. Meanwhile, this proportion is higher (47 percent) among Republican voters aged 18 to 34 years old.
It doesn’t matter what they think. They’re going to coalesce around this pus filled boil and form the usual carbuncle. Get out and vote because at the end of the day they’re going to vote for Trump anyways.
Better headline: 2 out of 3 Republicans (the party of "Law and Order") support a candidate convicted of 34 felonies. And 3 out of 3 will still vote for him in the general election.
The original headline is just them saying I wish there was something better, but we got what we got. Which is the same thing I am saying on the left.
Doesn't matter. Get out and vote.
In March, the former president won enough primary races to secure the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election.

Another way of writing that 33 percent prefer another politician is that 67 percent prefer Trump. Last I checked, 67 percent support is enough to secure the Republican nomination.
Meanwhile, this proportion is higher (47 percent) among Republican voters aged 18 to 34 years old.
Again, another way of writing this is that 53 percent of Republican voters aged 18 to 34 years old support Trump. I'll double check my arithmetic, but even this seems to be enough to win primaries.
With a title like "One in three Republicans now think Donald Trump was wrong candidate choice," I would expect to see a poll which showed that fewer than "One in three Republicans" used to "think Donald Trump was wrong candidate choice." That seems like a straightforward way to make the point this article is trying to make. Yet none is provided. Instead we are treated to some general electorate polling showing some minor fluctuation and some republicans who were already critical of Trump continuing to be critical of Trump.
The centrist will to make the Republicans look better than they are is so powerful.
I'm pretty sure 'thinking' never got in the way of them voting for him before.
Vote for biden and get trump going to jail for free!!!
Maybe, but 2/3 is a majority.
How many had their choice made for them before they even had a chance to vote in a primary?
Nikki Haley was the last to drop out on March 6th, when there were still dozens of primaries to go.
I'd love to see a national primary. But people complain... But... but... it's not fair to small candidates who can't run a national campaign...
Yeah, if you can't run a national campaign, you have no business being President either.
But when all the choices are shit, go for the shittiest shit that ever shitted in shitstown.
meanwhile two of three republicans can still taste their colons.
when will these people pull their heads out of their asses?
Sounds like a lot until you consider the fact that 3/3 informed adult humans of sound mind absolutely despise him..
Surprise Pikachu 😱😱😱😱
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In March, the former president won enough primary races to secure the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election.
However, according to a survey of 1,003 Americans by Canadian polling firm Leger, Trump does not command the full support of his base and 33 percent of this demographic would have preferred another politician.
Newsweek contacted a representative for Trump by email outside of business hours to comment on this story.
A similar pattern emerged in other states and Joe Biden, the Democratic candidate for the election and the incumbent president, has too been hit with protest votes in his own primary races.
Meanwhile, Trump has now been found guilty on all 34 counts in his high-profile hush money trial concerning payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
Nevertheless, polls are still tight and when Trump and Biden face each other on November 5 in a rematch of the 2020 election, the verdict is expected to be close.
The original article contains 401 words, the summary contains 157 words. Saved 61%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Some of them only support Trump because he wants to eliminate gays and transgenders. The hate runs deeper than that though. He'll enable his party to go after nonchristians, stoners, non whites and all the other groups the maga boners hate, if his "doners" haven't straight up paid him to do this himself already. It's all about hate.
Trump supporters support Trump because he will get rid of people they don't like, not in spite of it.
People need to stop acting like voting for Trump will somehow fix the economy and that attacking marginalized groups and losing some of our freedom in exchange for it is somehow an acceptable loss.
I fully endorse Trump if it means it's sabotaging the GOP fascists from the inside lol
Who could've known that an extremist criminal as your leader might cause issues.
That's okay, 3/3 democrats think that Biden is the wrong choice, but here we are.
