NEW POLL: Nearly Half Believe Trump Should Drop Campaign Over Guilty Verdict
(www.mediaite.com)
And nearly half were never going to vote for him anyway. I want a poll of who was previously voting for him, and now will not.
The real headline is that 20% of Republicans think so. Shocking.
"I think Trump should drop his campaign. But if he doesn't, I'm still voting for him, because I'll vote for that felon over any liberal"
Biden crime family are felons too, they just hid behind the law by only doing legal felonies!
... or something. I'm not batshit insane enough to understand the actual thought process.
That actually sounds about right, it's aligned with what my racist family says!
Hunter Biden has a criminally large schlong tho.
Trump’s unfavorability among Republicans has hovered around 20% for a while now.
The last poll considered in that link occurred on March 2-4. So the results seem outdated in regards to the recent convictions.
Yeah its going always takes a few weeks for news to become digested and show up in the polling. Always longer than the newsies and wonks think it should; 3-6 weeks some times.
yeah, that's incredibly low unfavorability.
20% of Republicans in the primaries were still voting for Nikki Haley, likely as a protest vote, even long-after Nikki dropped out.
So this is all within expectations. As usual, the Trump delusional refuses to accept reality. Its up to the rest of the country to band together and vote against him.
still voting for Nikki Haley
If Mr Trump eventually can't run, Ms Haley is the presumptive candidate, having won a primary somewhere. And it's too soon to launch another bid by anyone else.
Genius, really.
Although that tracks with the republicans that didn’t like him before the trial.
Narrator: “He didn’t.”
Yeah there is ZERO chance he willingly drops out. Getting re-elected is his only path out of the hole he keeps digging deeper. Well that or leaving the country for good and living out his days in Russia.
That would be a short stay in Russia. Putin doesn't keep useless assets around.
edward snowden begs to differ
Guarantee Snowden is still a valuable asset. He actually has a brain & internal working knowledge of the NSA.
Donald isn't a useless asset for Putin. He directs a large cult of Trumpanzees in America.
Yeah, he'd lose a ton of that power if he was hiding out in Russia.
Eh, he'd probably set Trump up in a gilded cage and forget about him. It'd be a short stay because Trump is old, eats McDonalds, and doesn't exercise. Only the McDonalds part would change because they don't operate in Russia anymore.
Now I’m picturing Putin ordering McDonalds from abroad and going through some convoluted process to get it imported
So, basically, the conviction has changed nothing for this poll.
It affected independent voters more than anything.
nearly half
Half of what? I see it's voters, so, the democrats? Wow, really cool journalism, who could have seen that one coming!
Having read the article, that 'half of voters' includes 20% of republicans, 80% of democrats and 52% of independents.
That's a bit more meaningful than your flippant 'voters = democrats'
That is actually notable
Republicans are not half of the population. They use gerrymandering, voter suppression, and the electoral college to have an outsized influence.
They do, but:
The partisan identification of registered voters is now evenly split between the two major parties: 49% of registered voters are Democrats or lean to the Democratic Party, and a nearly identical share – 48% – are Republicans or lean to the Republican Party.
Why not cite how many people were polled?
Near as I can figure, a lot of people who only passingly pay attention politics assumed he would have to quit if convicted.
He's simply being factored out of the equation by them
If anyone is factored out of the equation, it's those low-information voters who don't follow the news.
I wonder who would replace him?
Could be one reason we haven't seen a running mate yet. That would give them a backup plan if they were already rallied behind somebody else.
Though I suppose equally well, no one had wanted to be committed to partnering with him before they saw how these trials played out.

The same half that believe in a flat earth or the same half that believe in horse paste?
