Trump Regains Support Among Republicans After Impeachment, Poll Finds

Former President Donald Trump has regained support from Republicans following his acquittal in his second impeachment trial.

A new Morning Consult poll found that a majority of Republican voters, 54%, said they would support the former president in a hypothetical 2024 presidential primary election – the same percentage from November.

Trump's support has recovered in the most recent poll after falling to 42% in a January poll following a deadly riot at the Capitol, an event that prompted the second impeachment trial.

Conversely, former Vice President Mike Pence's support did the opposite. In a November poll, Pence had support from 12% of Republicans. That increased to 16% in the January poll, when Trump's slipped, and then declined to 12% again in the most recent survey.

1. He never lost the support.

[bdamomma]

36. They want

to be poor and stupid.

[muntrv]

40. But they own the libs, right?

[bdamomma]

42. They

will do themselves in. Just wait.

[bdamomma]

43. They

will do themselves in. Just wait.

2. FUBAR

[Delphinus]

3. Arg!!

Insanity!

[rso]

4. Trump

Good, hopefully he’s nominated again and we can decimate him and the gop in 2024.

[hobby10113]

44. I don't want him to get nominated again.

He managed to pull off 2016 cause he trashed Hillary and the only reason we won in 2020 was overwhelming turnout nationwide. However, in Georgia,Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania those margins were all within either 1-2 points. If the Democrats in those states stay home again we are screwed. Sorry to be so negative

[turbinetree]

5. They should have a poll do you support someone that will kill you for political power

yes or no..........

[Squinch]

6. RepubliQans are dumber than slugs.

[Oldem]

7. And leave slimy trails, some orange.

[bdamomma]

37. I like

that comparison.

[Dream Girl]

8. I would imagine that self identified Republicans will skew more radical as moderates defect

So not surprising to see this occurring.

[Turin_C3PO]

11. Yes.

The Republican party is shedding support right now. Only 25% of Americans identify as Republicans.

[MisterNiceKitty]

15. The midterm election will definitely confirm whether Republican support has eroded

Even if the voters the party retains are becoming even more radicalized (and thus isolated from the mainstream)

Elections are the only polls that matters anyway.

[Turin_C3PO]

16. True.

[bdamomma]

38. I hope

there's another party formed and ditches the cretins cultists.

[lagomorph777]

17. Are his supporters increasing in the GOPQ...

...or are his non-supporters fleeing?

Both would cause the same result in this poll.

[llashram]

9. well

there are 70million plus who have shown they will follow their leader to the jungles(what's left)wherever.

Hopefully they will stay there. I hope the Party that replaces the GOP of racists will be amenable to power-sharing and compromise.

[AirmensMom]

10. Of course, if you don't count

the many who have left the party. Who would you have left but the most deplorable cretins who have always supported him?

[Joinfortmill]

12. Crazy and dangerous

[bucolic_frolic]

13. If stupidity becomes a fatal illness

These folks will be in for hard times.

[TeamPooka]

14. The best con men leave their victims happy, without ever knowing they were fleeced.

[Chellee]

31. There was a movie called Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House.

One of Melyvn Douglas' best lines was, "You've been taken to the cleaners, and you don't even know your pants are off."

[Polybius]

18. On the bright side, the Republican 2024 debates will be entertaining

[C Moon]

19. That's 54% of Republicans, not 54% of the country. He doesn't even have complete support

from his party.

I'm certainly glad I'm not a Republican. At least 54% are disgusting, evil, racist, unAmerican, butt-wipes.

[groundloop]

32. Exactly...... and 54% of GOPers equates to less than 1/4 of the country.

[LudwigPastorius]

20. Hopefully, Colonel Sanders and the Hamburglar will do what...

the quislings in the Senate didn't have the courage to do.

...end Trump's political career.

A massive coronary would be in the country's best interest. Whether he survives it, or not,...I don't really care.

[mdbl]

49. We can only hope

I thought that was why the COVID-19 was sent but failed to accomplish that. So my faith in a deity has been shattered again.

[benld74]

21. Article should mean the QOP???

[Vinca]

22. I wish one of the rabid poll takers would investigate how many Republicans left the party since

it became the party of Trump. It's been reported that tens of thousands have left just since January 6, but I have to imagine that's a drop in the bucket overall. 54% of a million is one thing. 54% of half a million is another.

[mdbl]

23. Republicans can't be trusted

nor can we assume they have any common sense among them.

[Escurumbele]

24. What do these people see in the buffoon? I don't get it, I do want to understand but

they can't even explain it...Such a disgusting human being, what is it they see on that SOB?

We now have "The 8 mysteries of the World"

The Eight Wonders of the Ancient World were:
the Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt.
the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Greece.
the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus.
the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus.
the Colossus of Rhodes.
the Lighthouse of Alexandria, Egypt.
What do people see in trump?

[Lonestarblue]

25. He reinforces their biases.

He is a white supremacist.

He supports their religious extremism.

He is obviously not an intellectual, and Republicans prefer their presidents to be intellectually challenged.

He is a mean, nasty human being, and Republicans like mean, nasty people who would rather se their guns because they’re angry than have a meaningful discussion about political differences.

He hates all the people they hate: black people, brown people, Asian people, immigrants, the poor, women, LGBTQ.

He lies constantly, and Republicans know that it liberals and Democrats hate the lies; therefore, they love the lies.

He appointed hundreds of federal judges and three Supreme Court judges who support all of the above.

[Escurumbele]

28. I thought your 1st point was true when trying to get an answer, but Latinos follow him like a God

I know a lot of people who live in Florida, Texas, in South America and you cannot imagine how frustrating it is to talk to these people, they are MAGATs, even though they don't vote in the USA...

Those I am talking about are very decent and loving people, 90% of them are educated (Lawyers, doctors, engineers, etc.), most are wealthy, well traveled, its not like they are dummies, they cannot afford to be racist because some of them have dark skin, many of them Mediterranean skin which to many racists is brown enough to be hated, even though if they take their socks off their feet are white...Mediterranean people are white, but they burn really good when under the sun.

Nope, there is some unknow element that is not in your list.

[mdbl]

50. He makes disaffected people feel like they are not fringe

but have a place in main-stream society, no matter how immoral, unethical, or awful they may be. Hitler had the same skills and Donnie has read up on them.

[NEOBuckeye]

26. Like a dog returns to its vomit...

Republicans return to Trump. But I repeat myself.

[Grokenstein]

27. Rats swimming back to a sinking ship.

Torpedoes away!

[SWBTATTReg]

29. Again, this raises (IMHO) why the House and Senate Democratic majorities tried to impeach

djt an 2nd time? What benefit did we derive from this 2nd impeachment act? I still don't understand the logic even though there has been discussions on DU as to why they did it/the 2nd attempt to impeach. All that done (IMHO) is give oxygen to rump and his brood of misfits. Go let them die in peace, ignore them, go about our business of government and ignore all things rump as well as those that still harp on all things rump. They are not in power, we are. Let's use that time wisely. I know that there's fear of djt running again, but that's years and years away, are we over-analyzing?

[ProfessorGAC]

30. I Call BS

Before the election, Tr--p had a 94% approval rating among Rs. 94% approval does not compute with 54% wanting him to run.
If they got 54% in November it was a flawed question.
Those polled probably figured he'd win reelection so the question was complicated by the 22nd amendment.
That major flaw invalidates all their conclusions.
I think it best to pretend we never saw this garbage poll.

[patphil]

33. I am not surprised.

I've seen Trump as a Satanic individual for quite some time now. I believe he's a high ranking Satan; one of the top ones on the planet; perhaps only subservient to Putin.
And, as the highest ranking Satan in the USA, all the dark ones in this country are subservient to him. That counts as 10's of millions of people; his base.

They will never abandon him, for he is their God.
No matter what he does!
It's pretty much the same for Putin in Russia, and Hitler when he ruled Germany.
That's why I feel we have won a battle, but the war still rages.

This is the most important, and most severe test this nation has ever had to go through.
A failure here, and the whole great experiment in Democracy that our founding fathers engaged in is over.

[sandensea]

35. That would be giving him too much credit!

Cheeto's but a minion of Satan's - one of oh-so many grubby, self-interested toadies and puppets Old Scratch uses to cause as much trouble as possible in the world.

And not a very good one at that - because fortunately for us all, the fat bastard couldn't organize a one-man parade.

We may not be so lucky next time.

[Kid Berwyn]

34. We had a chance to make an eyewitness case in public.

Oh well. Smarter minds and all that.

[bdamomma]

39. These

stupid whatever's make me shake me head in disgust. So effing stupid and dangerous.

[roamer65]

41. So 46 percent of Repukes are ripe for the picking by a center right party.

Nice. Sweet.

[secondwind]

45. He has more support out of office than he did when he was in office....

[BobTheSubgenius]

46. WTF is WRONG with these people???

Totally rhetorical. Don't bother even trying.

[world wide wally]

47. Trump had 100% GOP support in November... and he still lost

[choie]

48. and people still want to rank on

Hillary Clinton for calling them "deplorables"?
