Poll: 26% of Trump 2024 voters say GOP candidates should distance themselves from him
A Politico-PF Global poll found 26 percent of people who voted for Trump in 2024 think Republican candidates would do better in the midterms by breaking from him.
About one in four of President Trump's 2024 voters say Republicans would be more likely to win the midterms if they split from him. The Hill reports the figure is 26 percent, from a Politico-PF Global poll.
Those respondents said the Republican running in their own district would have better odds of winning by breaking away from the president this November, according to The Hill.
Politico called it notable that so many Trump backers are open to that step. It linked the result to an unpopular war in Iran and high costs of living. That framing is Politico's.
