A majority of Americans say they wouldn't support former President Trump, new polling shows, even as he remains the overwhelming favorite among Republicans.
Yeah, that confused me as well. I had to read that 3 times to figure out the distinction.
53% of Americans say they would definitely not support him if he’s the GOP nominee, and another 11% say they probably would not back him in November 2024.
“the GOP nominee” and “in November 2024” both refer to the same thing, but the phrasing change distracts from the definitely/probably thing.
Boy 53% definitely would not support is so bad for him. RCP has the average of polls at 44.4% Biden, 44% Trump, but if 53% definitely would not support Trump then he can only improve by 3 points at most and he’d have to rely on a 3rd party to get the vast majority of the remaining 9% of the electorate? That is a big ask.
The gop is pushing for a “unity party” led by rfk Jr to hurt dems, and attract never-trumper republicans. The Dems are not that stupid, but I’m not sure about the never-trumpers. The might prefer a protest vote to Biden.

I suppose in the event that Trump runs on a different platform? He is a bit soggy like that
