YO, TRUMP HATERS: Trump Voters Aren’t TURNING On Trump – New Poll Has EPIC News for POTUS
New buyers remorse poll for Trump voters — results will make Rachel Maddow choke on her coffee.
That #Trumpregrets hashtag about people regretting a horrible choice? The Left would love for us to think that there are a lot of voters who realized — too late — that their election choice was like those drunken Vegas weddings that fill tired plotlines in TV sitcoms.
Turns out, they like our President just fine, thank you very much.
With hashtags and ‘disappointed’ voter headlines elevating those who doubt him, and in-party polling showing his numbers still strong, who do we believe?
Our Mood of the Nation Poll from Penn State’s McCourtney Institute of Democracy provides answers. Conducted by YouGov, the poll tracks the mood of the public through traditional survey questions and numerous open-ended questions that allow citizens to express themselves in their own words. The poll’s methodology is described here.
Our Feb. 23-27 poll asked a nationally representative sample of 1,000 Americans to report on how they cast their vote in November. The results of these reports closely align with other national polls, with Hillary Clinton voters comprising 49 percent of the sample, Trump voters 46 percent, with 3 percent and 2 percent for minor-party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, respectively.
Who would vote differently?
On the next screen, we asked everyone, “Suppose you could go back in time and vote again in the November election. What would you do?”
Respondents were presented with the same choices — Trump, Clinton, Stein, Johnson, someone else, or not vote at all. Of the 339 poll participants who originally voted for Trump, only 12 (3½ percent) said they would do something different.
Only three individuals (fewer than 1 percent of Trump voters) said that, could they go back in time, they would cast their vote for Clinton. Seven said they would vote for one of the minor-party candidates.
When we asked why, most regretful Trump voters pointed specifically to his performance as president. (Misspellings are original.)
“He has moved kinda fast with the immagration ban, and abortion law.”
“I don’t like his decisions so far.”
“Trump’s actions since the inaugeration.”
“… Trump cannot get out of his own way. He won’t stop running his mouth and has no humility.”
These sentiments echo regrets highlighted in social media. But they are too few to conclude that Trump’s electoral coalition has somehow eroded. Moreover, of the already small number of Trump voters expressing regret, only one in four would have shifted their support to the Democratic nominee.
In short, the 45th president’s electoral coalition remains intact. — WP
Only 3% of TRUMP voters would change their vote?
That’s nothing. How many of the no-shows would think that he’s better than they expected?
