A recent article on Yahoo shows Trump support still hovers around 33% across the country. The article’s author adds fuel to Christie’s claim during the 2024 presidential debate that he would not pardon Trump.
In short, he argues that Trump’s actions are below the presidency, something he was promptly booed for during the debate. However, the naysayers, while vocal during the debate, are becoming a minority in the country. Trump is slowly losing support – though his 33% floor appears unshakeable.
Comments on Yahoo show Trump support remains unfazed
Look no further than Yahoo comments for a temperature check on Trump support across the country.
“I give Chris Christie a lot of credit for standing up for his country and being strong enough to be vocal about the Trump fiasco. Whoever becomes the nominee of either party needs to be someone, who will live up to the Constitution…”
In a comment in support of Christie, the commenter received 242 likes and 112 thumbs down.“Likewise, none of the Republicans should feel compelled to support Trump if he is the nominee, since Trump already admitted that he would not support any of them if they are the nominee.”
In this comment, the poster argues that Trump should not receive Republican support, with 100 likes and 33 thumbs down.“I am impressed by Christie’s honesty and intelligence. I don’t agree with a lot of his policies, but I value integrity and honesty over all else, so even as a democrat I wouldn’t worry if he was elected president.”
This poster admires Christie’s courage but still gets a thumbs down from 34% of readers.“I’ve never been a big Christie fan, but I must say I think he speaks the truth a lot. I don’t agree with all his policies or beliefs, but when he speaks I believe it to be based in fact. Unlike some politicians…”
This commenter on Yahoo says he respects Christie’s courage – with nearly the same results. Trump support remains steady.“Christie was an excellent DA but a poor governor. However, currently, he is demonstrating that he is going to tell the truth almost regardless of where it’ll take him in the campaign. Maybe the truth is still not palpable…”
Where Christie’s flaws are pointed out but given credit for honesty, the ratio is 66% in support and 33% against.“The mistake was made once already with Nixon. No way should it even be considered with Trump. Presidents are not above the law. Their power is not absolute.”
Trump support remains unchanged, even though the poster simply highlights that no one is above the law.“Put aside whether you see Trump as innocent or guilty. That’s a statement of fact and intelligence that Christie made. Pardon and mercy by their definitions and meanings can only be granted if there’s admission of wrong doing and to a lesser…”
A perfect 33%.
So there you have it. Despite indictments in multiple states, Trump support across his base remains strong. That’s America in 2023.
