Poll: Trump’s Opponent Not Important to Most Anti-Trump Voters

According to a recent poll by Rasmussen Reports, just over half of voters continue to say they’re likely to vote against President Trump this fall -- and a sizable majority of those voters don’t seem to care who runs against him.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 44% of Likely U.S. Voters are more likely to vote for Trump in the 2020 presidential election. Rasmussen indicates that these numbers have held fairly steady, being unchanged from January and similar to last September, when, 42% said they were more likely to vote for the president and 52% were not.

Among those who say they are more likely to vote against Trump, 63% say their vote is more likely to be AGAINST him than for some other candidate, up from 50% in January and 58% last year. Thirty-two percent (32%) say their vote is more likely to be FOR some other candidate on the ballot.

Rasmussen adds that 38% of voters think Biden is suffering from some form of dementia, and 61% believe it is important for him to address the dementia issue publicly.

Additionally, Rasmussen's daily Presidential Tracking Poll tracker for July 8 shows that 44% of likely U.S. voters approve of President Trump’s job performance, while 54% disapprove. Of those, 32% strongly approve of the job Trump is doing and 46% strongly disapprove.
