More than twice as many self-identified republicans say they support President Trump than they do the GOP, showing that Trumpism is a force that transcends traditional conservative beliefs, according to a new YouGov/HuffPost poll.
In the poll, 45% of republicans say they support Trump, while just 22% say they support the republican Party. Thirty-three percent say they support both.
Five times as many republicans support Trump over their own representative in the House of Representatives, showing increasing weakness within the GOP for “down ticket” races as the Party splits between Trump supporters and Party loyalists.
