Donald Trump is losing support from voters who crossed over to back him in last year’s election, according to a new study released Wednesday.
A new survey from the bipartisan Democracy Fund Voter Study Group, which has been interviewing the same voters repeatedly for the past six years, identifies which voters have drifted away from Trump over the first six months of his presidency — and points to the danger for Republicans if the party can’t bring them back into the fold in the upcoming off-year and midterm elections.
Among all Trump voters, the president's approval rating remains high: The vast majority, 88 percent, approved of the job he is doing as president. But there is erosion among voters who backed Barack Obama in 2012 but switched to Trump in 2016. Only 70 percent of those Obama-Trump voters approved of the job the president is doing. And 22 percent disapproved — a rate more than twice the 9 percent of all Trump voters who disapproved.
Sixteen percent of these Obama-Trump voters said they regretted their choice in last year's election — a small but significant number that again outpaces the 6 percent of all Trump voters who regret voting for him.

Too bad it's 10 months too late. And really, really too bad that the rest of us have to suffer under the abomination.
