Insider poll: Only 52% of likely Trump voters say he's a good person

A new Insider poll shows a majority of respondents saying they don't think President Donald Trump is a good person, including almost half of his likely voters.

The new data from Insider SurveyMonkey Audience polling fits with one of the Republican convention's strongest motifs: reassuring voters that supporting President Trump's policies does not mean approving of his tweets or more vulgar behavior.

Trump's character has once again come into focus recently, with his former personal attorney Michael Cohen leveling serious allegations against Trump in a new book for using racial slurs, lying to his third wife Melania about infidelity — including the infamous hush money payments that landed Cohen in prison.

Then came The Atlantic story on Trump calling fallen American soldiers "losers" and "suckers," with several major outlets subsequently confirming the reporting despite denials from the White House.

The rest think Trump being an asshole is a feature not a bug.

And apparently not being a good person isn't enough to keep the other 48% from voting for him.

1. They only care about their own personal interests
2. They want Trump to continue to be a bull in a china shop in Washington
3. They will do whatever possible to stop what they see as minorities and liberals taking over this country.
