Can anyone identify this poll?

Yesterday on CNN someone reported that in a poll of WISCONSIN (voted for Trump) voters or residents... don't know which. The important thing about this poll is that two questions were phrased something like this: "Would you vote for Trump under any circumstances?" and "Would you vote for Trump's opponent, whoever it was?" I THINK the results were 27% to 42%. I found this very interesting, as I've always wonder how many Trump voters constitute his real "base." It would be way better to think that there are 27% of our population who could give allegiance to this fascist than the more often cited 38%.

For those of you who like to dump on people who may not have found the relevant story in DU or Google, please understand that I searched for "Wisconsin poll," in Google News and "Wisconsin" in DU/Site search and looked in RealClearPolitics.com. I am posting here in hopes that a helpful DUer might have info about this.

Might be one of the recent 'AP-NORC' polls quoting his core as being 27% Donkees Jan 2019 #1
Well, that validates my memory of 27% hard core. Thanks! LAS14 Jan 2019 #2

This isn't the one you mention ...

Compared with the 27% of voters who describe themselves as strong Trump supporters, the "somewhat" Trump voters are much more likely to disapprove of Trump on key issues such as immigration and health care, and to express divergent opinions on a need for a border wall, gun control and climate change. They are much more likely to question his trustworthiness and temperament.
