NBC/WSJ poll: 4 out of 10 would reelect Trump
A NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows approximately 4 in 10 voters would vote to reelect President Donald Trump.
In the poll conducted Feb. 24-27, 41 percent of registered voters said they would definitely or likely vote for Trump in 2020; 48 percent said they would definitely or likely vote for the Democratic nominee instead.
Among those polled, 58 percent said they don’t believe Trump is telling the truth about the Russia probe. And 60 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump's national emergency declaration to find funding to build a border wall.
But Trump's base remains strong; 88 percent of Republican voters approve of his presidency.
Other groups that were the fondest of Trump: Rural residents, 60 percent; whites without college degrees, 60 percent; men, 54 percent; and whites overall, 54 percent.
The majority of people who disapproved of Trump were members of a minority group: 88 percent of African-Americans and 64 percent of Latinos polled disapproved of Trump. Young voters — defined in this poll as those aged between 18 and 34 — also strongly disapproved of Trump (57 percent).
Trump's overall job approval is at 46 percent. In NBC-WSJ polls, Trump’s approval rating has been above 40 percent for the past nine monthly polls.
The majority of Americans remain confident in the economy and believe there won’t be a recession next year.
The poll consisted of 900 adults, 720 registered voters, 247 Democratic primary voters and 210 Republican primary voters with an overall margin of error of 3.3 percentage points.
