Nearly six in 10 American voters believe former President Donald Trump’s 2024 bid for the US presidency, launched a week ago, would be detrimental to the country, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday.
The survey, however, showed “mixed signals,” according to Tim Mallow, an analyst at this private Connecticut university.
Mallow pointed out that 57% of Americans do not want Trump to return to the White House, but almost half of those surveyed believe that a second term for the Republican is likely.
Furthermore, 88% of Democrats and 58% of independent voters believe that a return of Trump (2017-2021) would be bad for the country, while 62% of Republicans believe it would be beneficial.
Additionally, 55% of Americans think Trump has had a mostly negative effect on the Republican Party, but among Republicans, 70% think it has been positive.
Approximately 35% of Americans support the ‘Make America Great Again’ (MAGA) movement, Trump’s iconic ‘Make America Great Again’ campaign slogan, and that sympathy rises to 79% among Republicans.
However, the Quinniapac poll found that, with almost two years to go until the next presidential election, voters are not particularly enthusiastic about any of the potential candidates.
A similar discrepancy was found in the poll when it comes to the Democratic Party and incumbent President Joe Biden: 68% of all voters don’t want Biden to run for re-election, compared to 51% of Democrats who do. as a candidate.
Biden appears with 38% favorable opinions and 52% unfavorable, while Trump registers 37% in favor and 54% against.
This poll polled 1,589 adults across the country, including 1,402 registered voters, from November 16-20, and the result has a 2.5-point margin of error.
Another poll conducted in the United States pointed to former President Donald Trump as the biggest loser in the recent midterm elections, in which he openly supported some more conservative Republican Party candidates and were defeated.
According to the demographic study carried out by the Harvard CAPS-Harris center, exclusively for The Hill newspaper, 20% of those surveyed consider that Trump was the biggest loser in the November 8 elections. Behind him, with 15%, is the entire Democratic Party.
Likewise, the candidates most closely linked to Trump, known as ‘MAGA Republicans’, are also considered by 14% of those surveyed as the main losers.
Also, 12% of those surveyed pointed to the group of Republican candidates as the great disappointment of the night. 23%, however, recognized that they did not have a clear position and chose not to choose any of the options.
“Trump comes out of the election a much weaker re-election candidate than he was before the inter-election,” said poll co-director Mark Penn, noting that the former president had declared his support for a group of “candidates losers”.
The midterms were held on November 8 and resulted in the maintenance of the majority of the Democratic Party in the Senate, an unexpected result, especially for some Republicans who, despite managing to control the House of Representatives, did not attest to the ‘wave red’. ‘ (party color) which Trump predicted.
