Republican support for a potential second White House run by President Trump has dipped by double digits after his supporters rioted at the U.S. Capitol last week, according to a new poll.

The Morning Consult/Politico survey published Wednesday found 42 percent of Republicans say they would support Trump if he ran in 2024, a decrease of 13 percentage points from November.

Trump’s job approval among Republican voters, which came in at 75 percent, is the lowest it has been in Morning Consult/Politico polling since August.

Support for a potential presidential run by Vice President Mike Pence, meanwhile, has trended slightly upward, standing at 16 percent.

Trump’s Approval Rate Craters In Final Days

January 13, 2021 at 6:39 am EST By Taegan Goddard

A new Politico/Morning Consult poll pegs President Trump’s approval at just 34%, the lowest in four years of tracking opinions of the president’s job performance. More than six in 10 voters — 63% — disapprove.

1. When more things come out, this will go down much further

[Mike 03]

2. And that's 42% *of Republicans*

I think he's finally done.

3. trump vs Pence in the 2024 primaries

The debates would be something

[greatbaldeagle]

9. Debating from a prison cell

For a public office he would not being qualified to run for due to an impeachment conviction. It sure would be something.

4. 42% of Republicans is

roughly the same number of Republicans that said they supported the attack on the Capitol right after that happened.

So there’s your Republican Party going forward. Pretty much split right down the middle between people who coddled dangerous lunatics and are now backing away from them, and dangerous lunatics who are going to threaten the people backing away.

Sucks to be them...

5. "42% of Republicans support overthrowing Democracy"

There, fixed the headline

8. Thank you

That poll sounds like something you ask BEFORE election.

6. So the MAGAts that don't support another presidential bid

are probably doing so because he's not fighting the "Deep State" hard enough.....

[Blasphemer]

7. Well, he won the nomination in the first place with less than majority support

This is not new. The question now is what becomes of the GOP from here. They could consolidate the anti-Trump voters and run someone semi-sane, but risk hardcore Trumpists staying home. Or they could try to rebrand the crazy and find someone more competent who can appeal to the Trumpists. Right now, I have no doubt Biden will win a second term so they have at least 8 years to figure out how and whether the party can survive. It's important to watch this closely as it should impact Dem strategy.

10. If the Senate votes to forbid holding office (only needs a simple majority)

then there won't be any "2024" run.

[Escurumbele]

11. All this talk about trump running for office...please, the only run he will do is in the courtyard

Whenever they take the prisoners out to the courtyard he can do his running...Maybe he can run for president of the prison laundry?

[SunSeeker]

12. Trump still has a 75% job approval rating among Republicans...

[sandensea]

13. He'll be dead and gone by 2022 anyhow, medical basket case that he is

He's lucky he's made it this far.

God's sense of humor, I suppose.

[ancianita]

14. Reports of "percents" and "points" is meaningless without the hard number of registered Republicans

in the United States.

I cannot find anywhere the hard numbers of the total registered Democrats and Republicans in the United States. Just 2020 state registrations in general.

Without the accompanying raw totals of party registration, these percents and polls are imaginary maps.

The only totals I got by state were registration totals I had to add up myself for 2020. But Americans should have the party raw totals to get accurate maps, not alleged maps.
