Analysis: A poll asked whether people approved of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s tenure as leader and whether they identified as supporters of Trump’s “MAGA” movement. The answers show how Trump divides in a way Speaker McCarthy doesn't.
The pollsters asked questions about American politics and politicians. The questions included two that are interesting to contrast: whether people approved of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s tenure as leader and whether they identified as supporters of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement.
Below, I’ve plotted the responses for different groups included in the poll on a scatter plot. From bottom to top, the dots indicate more alliance with MAGA. From left to right, more approval for McCarthy. So the Republican dot at the top right shows strong support for each; the Democratic dot at lower left, strong opposition. This is what we’d expect.
