Poll: Two-Thirds Of Voters Say Trump Is A Factor For Them In The 2018 Midterm Elections
As President Donald Trump goes, so goes the Republican Party. Thats what a new NPR/PBS Newshour/Marist poll released Friday is positing. According to the data, two-thirds of American voters polled say Trump is a factor in how they will vote in the 2018 midterm elections.
While 23 percent of those respondents say the president is at least a minor factor for them come November, a whopping 44 percent say he is a major factor.
This differs pretty significantly from a 2014 poll that found only 47 percent of voters said they considered then-President Barack Obama to be either a major or minor factor in their voting for that years midterms.
he poll surveyed 935 adults, 738 of them registered voters, via landline and cell phone from Oct. 21 to 23. The polling occurred prior to the news that mail bombs were sent to CNN and various high-profile Trump critics, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack and Michelle Obama, left-leaning billionaire George Soros, former Vice President Joe Biden and actor Robert De Niro.
