One in three Republican voters would have preferred a different candidate to Donald Trump for the upcoming presidential election.

In March, the former president won enough primary races to secure the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election.

However, according to a survey of 1,003 Americans by Canadian polling firm Leger, Trump does not command the full support of his base and 33 percent of this demographic would have preferred another politician. Meanwhile, this proportion is higher (47 percent) among Republican voters aged 18 to 34 years old.

Sounds like a lot until you consider the fact that 3/3 informed adult humans of sound mind absolutely despise him..

LOL they'll certainly try another 1/6, but this time the place will be crawling with plainclothes feds, dozens of snipers (visible; even more out of sight), swat, MRAPs, helicopters, etc etc. and it would be dumb to assume they haven't installed more cameras with audio everywhere

This is the best summary I could come up with:

In March, the former president won enough primary races to secure the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election.

However, according to a survey of 1,003 Americans by Canadian polling firm Leger, Trump does not command the full support of his base and 33 percent of this demographic would have preferred another politician.

Newsweek contacted a representative for Trump by email outside of business hours to comment on this story.

A similar pattern emerged in other states and Joe Biden, the Democratic candidate for the election and the incumbent president, has too been hit with protest votes in his own primary races.

Meanwhile, Trump has now been found guilty on all 34 counts in his high-profile hush money trial concerning payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

Nevertheless, polls are still tight and when Trump and Biden face each other on November 5 in a rematch of the 2020 election, the verdict is expected to be close.

The original article contains 401 words, the summary contains 157 words. Saved 61%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

I fully endorse Trump if it means it's sabotaging the GOP fascists from the inside lol

Who could've known that an extremist criminal as your leader might cause issues.
