Analysis: Even Americans who report financial improvement under Trump are split on voting for him
President Trump gives thumbs up after stepping off Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House on May 17 in Washington. By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow May 22 at 12:52 PM On the face of it, Quinnipiac University’s new poll measuring support for President Trump’s reelection bid is bad news for the incumbent: More than half of respondents said they will definitely not vote for Trump in 2020.
Quinnipiac provided The Washington Post with a breakdown of how support for Trump’s reelection varies depending on how people view the economy and his handling of it. The picture is slightly better on Trump’s handling of trade. There, those who approve of what Trump’s doing are 10 points more likely to say they’ll definitely vote for him. But this group is also 10 points smaller than those who approve of his handling of the economy . Meaning that it’s probably a group that’s more densely Trump’s base.
Overall, among those who’ve seen their financial fortunes improve, results were about split between those who definitely plan to vote for Trump and those who might not or definitely won’t.
