Almost 6 in 10 likely voters surveyed — 58 percent — said they were “concerned” about a second Trump term after hearing about the former president’s reported offer to undo broad swaths of President Biden’s climate policies, according to polling by Data for Progress and Climate Power.

The group’s new poll surveyed 1,231 likely voters from May 10-13, with a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

    Useless article after you read this:

    "The polling numbers come with an enormous asterisk: Many voters responded very differently when it was not just an anonymous politician but Trump, who remains enormously popular among Republicans.

    While 42 percent of Republicans said they would reconsider voting for any politician who said what the former president reportedly did, their concern dissipated when the remarks were attributed to Trump.

    On getting that piece of information, 42 percent of Republicans said they would be more likely to vote for the former president as a result, and just 12 percent that they would be less likely to vote for him."

    So as usual God Emporer Trump™ can do no wrong. They probably thought the “anonymous politician” was referring to Biden…

      We already know most die hard republicans won’t turn on trump, it’s the centrists and independents who are important. And turnout. If there is a large Dem turnout they win.

      12% of republicans is enough. If half that many vote for the libertarian party in Texas, and the other half switch to Joe, that’s the entire election.

      Republicans are NOT in a Cult but they DO support LITERALLY EVERYTHING TRUMP DOES even if they don’t actually support what Trump does!
