Analysis: YouGov polling released on Wednesday shows no significant shift in how Republicans view the former president. Caveats, as always, apply.
Reports suggested that Trump himself was positively giddy. He’d been working relentlessly to demonstrate to the world that he still had a strong grip on the GOP, an effort demanded in part by the rise of competitors for the party’s throne. Polling showed him leading a hypothetical 2024 presidential field, but not as comfortably as once might have been expected. Then the Mar-a-Lago search happened, andwere suddenly aligning with him.
A week after Mar-a-Lago, Fox News host Laura Ingraham dared to return to the case that had undergirded some skepticism about Trump’s 2024 potential.in a podcast appearance. “They’re exhausted by the battle, the constant battle, that they may believe that, well, maybe it’s time to turn the page if we can get someone who has all Trump’s policies, who’s not Trump.”
Compare that with the drop in the five polls before and after the U.S. Capitol riot. Before the riot, Trump was averaging 90 percent favorability from Republicans and 44 percent overall. In the five polls after the riot, he fell to 85 percent favorable within his own party and to 41 percent among all Americans.
