Voters to Trump: Soften, please

Here’s the interesting thing. Among people who don’t support Trump, 27 percent said a softening would make them more likely to support him. Thirty-four percent said it would make them less likely — that is probably the group that would not like anything Trump did. (Thirty-six percent said it wouldn’t matter.)

Among people who already support Trump, 48 percent said a softer position on immigration would make them more likely to vote for him, while just 15 percent said it would make them less likely to vote for him. (Again 36 percent said it didn’t matter.) In other words, the vast majority of Trump’s voters would like to see him soften his position or at least wouldn’t mind it if he did.

The poll suggests that Trump could loosen up a little and help himself with his own voters, as well as the more moderate voters he’s hoping to attract.
