If you add the “not sure” group the ratio climbs to 80%. Only 20% of republican voters have any confidence the Republican party leadership supports Donald Trump.
Rat FinksThere is actually good news within the larger electorate understanding this dynamic.
THIS common understanding is why it is completely safe for candidate Trump to turn his rhetorical fire toward Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney and the various agents within the leadership of the GOPe.
(Via Rasmussen) Despite Donald Trump’s record turnout in this year’s primaries, most Republican voters are convinced that their party’s leaders don’t want him to get elected.
Sixty-six percent (66%) of Likely Republican Voters believe that most top GOP leaders do not want Trump to be elected president of the United States. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 20% think most Republican leaders do want their party’s likely nominee to win the White House. Fourteen percent (14%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Sixty-two percent (62%) of GOP voters say it is bad for their party that top Republican leaders continue to criticize Trump. Only 15% feel that continuing criticism is good for the party, while 17% say it has no impact.
Still, 64% of Republicans think their party is likely to be unified after its national convention next month, although that includes only 22% who consider party unity Very Likely. Thirty-one percent (31%) say Republicans are unlikely to be unified following the convention, with six percent (6%) who say it’s Not At All Likely.
