Poll: Just 36% of Voters Would Re-Elect Donald Trump

Aric Jenkins
7:18 PM ET



A new poll from Fox News suggests that significantly more people were happier with Barack Obama's first 100 days in office than President Donald Trump's.
The survey, which was conducted under the direction of two third-party research firms, found that only 36% of respondents would vote to re-elect Trump after his first 100 days, compared to 52% of respondents in 2009 who said that they would vote to re-elect Obama.
The poll found that 55% of respondents would not vote to re-elect to Trump; only 31% said they would not vote to re-elect Obama.

And didn't we just have one that says 96% of the Comrade's voters would do it again?

There's a wild disconnect in the polling.

6. That doesn't help at all unless 100% of voters vote

If half of the voters who would have voted Democratic stay home and 96% of Republicans vote, it's status quo time.

Everyone else either voted for someone else or didn't vote at all.

Did the survey posit a hypothetical Democrat against whom he'd be campaigning for this reelection?

Might have a significant impact on the 36% one way or the other...

97% of Trump supporters are satisfied with their vote. WTF. His approval numbers are also higher in this poll than in others. Here's the poll http://www.foxnews.com/politics/slideshow/2017/04/26/fox-news-poll-president-trumps-first-100-days.htmll

Trump supporters are fucking idiots. Fuck them. Fuck every last one of them.

We should not reach out the them. We should not try to understand them. The do not want our outreach or understanding, and they mock all attempts at civil communication.

We should not empathize with them. We should quarantine them.


And now let me pause for a big hello to my fans lurking from Jackass Radials or Conservative Cavity or whatever.

12. His # is still too high. And hold the shadenfreude: a recent poll said he would now beat Hillary in

a redo nationally.
"While just 4 percent of Trump's supporters say they would back someone else if there was a redo of the election, fully 15 percent of Clinton supporters say they would ditch her. Trump leads in a re-do of the 2016 election 43 percent to 40 percent after losing the popular vote 46-44."

So he is doing better than he should. Even at only 36% saying they would re-elect him.

at least he was intelligent, not like his base who voted for this imbecile to saber rattle North Korea.
