Donald Trump’s backers are up in arms over a recent poll indicating that 54% of Americans support his exclusion from Colorado’s primary ballot. The survey, conducted by YouGov and reported by Raw Story on December 21, has triggered fury among Trump loyalists, who perceive it as a part of a larger agenda against the former president.
Prominent Trump ally Laura Loomer took to social media, accusing the Rupert Murdoch-owned New York Post of biased reporting against Trump. Loomer questioned the credibility of information related to Trump from Murdoch-owned publications, claiming Murdoch’s desire to make Trump a non-person.
Trump supporters flooded the Post’s social media accounts with discontent, dismissing the poll as biased. Concerns were raised about the methodology and sample bias of online surveys, suggesting they might not accurately represent public opinion.
The poll’s release underscored the deep political divide in America, intensifying debates on social media platforms. While Trump loyalists reject the idea of his removal from any ballot, opponents see the poll as validation of their stance.
The findings raise questions about the potential impact on Trump’s political future. Supporters fear that widespread approval for his removal could weaken his chances of future nominations. Opponents argue that the poll reflects a specific moment and may not represent long-term trends or broader sentiment towards Trump. The controversy highlights the polarization in American politics and its influence on public opinion.
