Voters split on whether Trump is serious about going after political enemies: Survey
Voters are split on whether President-elect Trump is serious about going after his political enemies during his second stint in the White House, according to a new survey released on Thursday.
The Monmouth University poll found that 48 percent of respondents said Trump is serious about going after his political foes, while another 47 percent said it was an exaggeration.
The majority of Democrats, 77 percent, are taking the president-elect’s statements seriously. On the opposite end of the spectrum, most Republicans, 71 percent, view those statements as exaggerations. Only 21 percent of GOP voters are taking Trump’s remarks about retribution seriously, which is more than 10 points lower, 33 percent, than what it was in June, according to the survey.
Just more than half of Americans, 52 percent, would be bothered by Trump’s effort to suspend some laws and constitutional provisions. In June, that figure was at around 65 percent. When split by party, 77 percent of Democrats said they would be bothered, significantly higher than independents at 55 percent. Only 23 percent of Republicans would be bothered a lot, according to the poll.
