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.

      I wish. It’s a cult. They do cult-like things that don’t make sense unless you drink the kool-aid.

      But would it even make a difference? The Republicans haven’t won the vote in about 2 decades, and in 2016, the Supreme Court said that the Electoral College doesn’t have to vote the way that the voters that they represent voted when multiple representatives said that they were going to cast their votes for Trump despite Hillary winning the state.
