WaPo poll: 56% say they definitely won’t vote for Trump next year

By comparison, notes WaPo, the worst number Obama pulled during his first term when people were asked if they definitely wouldn’t vote for him for reelection was 46 percent. Coincidentally, or not coincidentally, his opponent in 2012 went on to win 47 percent of the national vote.
So maybe this is a data point worth paying attention to.
Some of the usual excuses for grim polls don’t apply in this case either. “It’s just one poll!†Actually, it’s not. Two weeks ago a PBS/NPR poll found nearly the same number, 57 percent, vowing they wouldn’t vote for Trump again. “It’s fake news!†If you think the PBS data is fake news then all of the tweets Trump’s been posting lately about his job approval soaring among Hispanics is also fake news. That data came from the same PBS poll. Anyway, WaPo:
A 56 percent majority of all Americans say they would “definitely not vote for him†should Trump become the Republican nominee, while 14 percent say they would consider voting for him and 28 percent would definitely vote for him. Majorities of independents (59 percent), women (64 percent) and suburbanites (56 percent) rule out supporting Trump for a second term…
While 75 percent of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents approve of Trump’s performance in office when asked separately, nearly 1 in 3 say they would like to nominate someone other than Trump to be the party’s candidate for president.
