THE POLL NUMBERS SHOW VOTERS’ FRUSTRATION ABOUT THE DIALOGUE IN THE RACE – AND WHAT MAY AMOUNT TO A WASTED OPPORTUNITY FOR BOTH. SIXTY-NINE PERCENT FEEL DONALD TRUMP IS TALKING ABOUT THINGS THAT HE, HIMSELF CARES ABOUT, WHILE FEWER, 46 PERCENT SAY HE’S TALKING ABOUT ISSUES THEY CARE ABOUT. CLINTON HAS MUCH THE SAME GAP.
AND ON ONE OF THOSE BIG TOPICS TRUMP IS TALKING ABOUT OF LATE, REPUBLICANS IN BOTH PLACES OVERWHELMINGLY ECHO TRUMP’S OWN EXPRESSED DOUBTS ABOUT THE VALIDITY OF THE ELECTION. THEY BACK HIM ON THE SUGGESTION – RAISED AT THE DEBATE THIS WEEK AND ELSEWHERE – THAT HE MIGHT NOT ACCEPT THE OUTCOME.
MORE THAN EIGHT OUT OF TEN FLORIDA AND TEXAS REPUBLICANS BELIEVE THAT FRAUD IS WIDESPREAD, AND MORE THAN EIGHT IN TEN OF THOSE WHO SAY THERE IS FRAUD BELIEVE THAT WITHOUT IT, DONALD TRUMP WOULD WIN THE PRESIDENCY. SO IN TOTAL, 72 PERCENT OF ALL FLORIDA REPUBLICANS BELIEVE TRUMP WOULD WIN IN NOVEMBER WERE IT NOT FOR FRAUD.
SIXTY PERCENT OF ALL VOTERS THINK BOTH CANDIDATES SHOULD PLEDGE TO ACCEPT THE RESULTS OF THE ELECTION, BUT FEWER THAN HALF OF FLORIDA’S REPUBLICANS (42 PERCENT) AND ONLY 31 PERCENT OF TRUMP’S SUPPORTERS SAY SO. SEVENTY-TWO PERCENT OF TRUMP VOTERS AND 60 PERCENT OF REPUBLICANS SAY TRUMP IS “ACTING WITHIN HIS RIGHTS AS A CANDIDATE” BY CALLING THE ELECTION INTO QUESTION, WHILE 39 PERCENT OF VOTERS OVERALL FEEL TRUMP IS “UNDERMINING A U.S. TRADITION” BY DOING SO.
TAKEN IN CONTEXT, FINDINGS SUCH AS THESE BRING TO MIND SURVEY RESULTS ELSEWHERE SHOWING A GENERAL LOSS OF FAITH IN MANY ESTABLISHED INSTITUTIONS. AND VOTERS – PARTICULARLY THOSE LOOKING FOR CHANGE THIS YEAR – HAVE IN POLLING THROUGHOUT THE SEASON EXPRESSED DOUBTS ABOUT THE FAIRNESS OF THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM GENERALLY AND HAVE REPEATEDLY SAID THEY FELT THE POLITICAL SYSTEM, AS A WHOLE, FAVORS ONLY A FEW.
THOSE FLORIDA REPUBLICANS WHO ARE WITH TRUMP ARE JUST AS POSITIVE ABOUT HIM AS THEY WERE IN OUR LATE-SUMMER SURVEY. FORTY-EIGHT PERCENT OF REPUBLICANS ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN, THE SAME LEVEL WE FOUND IN FLORIDA BACK IN AUGUST. THE PERCENTAGE OF REPUBLICANS WHO SAY THEY FEEL PROUD OF TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN IS THE ABOUT THE SAME, 31 PERCENT NOW AND 29 PERCENT THEN.
AND ONLY 22 PERCENT OF FLORIDA REPUBLICANS ARE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND 14 PERCENT ARE ANGRY ABOUT IT – NOT SIZEABLE NUMBERS, BUT ENOUGH TO BE SIGNIFICANT IN A HIGHLY PARTISAN ERA.
