Nearly two-thirds also say Trump often departs from the truth, the poll found.
Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump speaks at a town hall at Lancaster County Convention Center, Oct. 20, 2024, in Lancaster, Pa.by Vice President Kamala Harris and past members of Trump's own administration. Far fewer in a new ABC News/Ipsos poll level the same charge against Harris.
Perceptions of fascism are tied to partisanship: 87% of Democrats call Trump a fascist, compared with 46% of independents and 12% of Republicans. Harris, for her part, is seen as a fascist by 41% of Republicans, 20% of independents and 3% of Democrats. The two candidates are closer in another gauge -- whether they are mainly trying to explain what they would do as president or mainly trying to avoid explaining this. It's 47%-52% for Harris and 48%-50% for Trump, hardly a rousing score in either case.
Still, Trump gets more criticism on truth-telling in his base than Harris does in hers. Thirty-two percent of Republicans and 38% of conservatives say he often doesn't tell the truth, as do, as noted, 30% of his own supporters. In Harris' case, many fewer Democrats , liberals or Harris supporters say she often doesn't tell the truth.Disproportionate views of Trump as a fascist and a prevaricator don't add up to a much higher sense of crisis if he's elected.
