If former President Donald Trump created a new party, nearly half of Republican voters would leave the Republican Party to join it, a new poll finds.
A Suffolk University/USA TODAY poll found that if Trump created a party, 46% of Republican voters would ditch the GOP to join it. Meanwhile, 27% said they would not, with the rest being undecided.
Additionally, it found that half of those polled believe the Republican Party should become “more loyal to Trump,” “even at the cost of losing support among establishment Republicans,” as USA Today reports. Only 19% said the party should become less loyal to Trump.
The poll was conducted Feb. 15-19 with 1,000 Trump voters.
A Republican, Brandon Keidl, told USA Today, “We feel like Republicans don’t fight enough for us, and we all see Donald Trump fighting for us as hard as he can, every single day. But then you have establishment Republicans who just agree with establishment Democrats and everything, and they don’t ever push back.”
Trump is expected to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Florida, on Sunday. It will be his first post-presidential appearance.
