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.

Are you sure? I know someone on Facebook that seems to think YouTube videos are irrefutable evidence of pretty much whatever they claim.

In the first minute of the video he talks about the pool done by Echelon Insights where they actually checked the exact same people.

The real headline is that 20% of Republicans think so. Shocking.

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 So the results seem outdated in regards to the recent convictions.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.

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.

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.

Donald isn’t a useless asset for Putin. He directs a large cult of Trumpanzees in America.

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.

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’

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.
