39% of independent voters support Trump's handling of migrant children in concentration camps

I guess the good news is that the majority are opposed. But who are the 5% who dare to call themselves Democrats who are supportive of that atrocity???

Other findings from the poll:

This month’s survey of 1,543 registered voters was conducted online from July 13-15 and reveals that just 39% of Americans are “enthusiastic about voting to re-elect” Trump, while 45% are “enthusiastic about voting for a Democratic candidate” against Trump.

They just see themselves as too ornery to pledge any kind of allegiance. But they really believe the same thing.
Many real Trump fans don't say they are Republicans.
I think the 5% of "Democrats" who support him are mostly just trolls. They're like the commenters on mainstream media sites who start every nasty comment with "As a lifelong Democrat".....

Good, bad, indifferent...ALL polling is compromised tripe now.
You get some respondents randomly answering things just to be "funny", poor sampling, over-representation, under-representation, bad questions, interference from external tropes, etc.

The ONLY thing that matters is that we have the US Marshals and the Secret Service ready to transition Trump out of the White House after the 2020 election...maybe even have his cabinet ready to invoke the 25th to avert a situation where he is removed by armed troops after being declared the loser.

Every time he’s on tee vee or writing lately he talks about illegal immigration as America’s number one problem.

Hypocritical fucker has worked hard to make it a bipartisan wedge.
