If the election for President were held today, only 36% of likely 2018 voters said that they would definitely vote to re-elect Donald Trump, according to a new poll by Grinnell College released Wednesday. More — 43% — say they would definitely vote for someone other than Trump, and another 17% said they’d consider it.
Nearly three-quarters of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents plan to definitely vote for Trump (72%), with 18% who said they’ll consider someone else. That’s below the 84% in that group who say they approve of his work as President. Eight-in-10 Democrats would definitely vote to elect someone else with almost half of independents agreeing at 47%. The rest of the independents are split between considering someone else (23%) and definitely voting for Trump (26%).
The poll differs from other recent polls on this fall’s election, however, with only 45% who said they’d vote for a Democratic candidate in the November election and 43% who said they’d support a Republican.
