of Voters Say Senators Should Un-Endorse Donald Trump in Senate Battlegrounds
Date: June 11, 2016
New Public Policy Polling surveys of five major U.S. Senate races find that wide swaths
of voters say that incumbent Republican Senators support for Donald Trump makes them
less likely to vote to re-elect them, and that the Senators should take steps to un-endorse
the presumptive Republican nominee.
Key findings from the survey include:
-

Pluralities or majorities of voters in each of the five states say that the Senators
support of Trump makes them less likely to vote for them including 44% of
voters in Arizona, 47% in New Hampshire, 43% in Ohio, 40% in Pennsylvania
and 45% in Wisconsin.

Among independent voters 57% say theyre less likely to vote for John McCain in
Arizona because of his support of Trump, 51% are less likely to vote for Kelly
Ayotte in New Hampshire, 36% are less likely to vote for Rob Portman in Ohio,
42% are less likely to vote for Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania, and 46% are less
likely to vote for Ron Johnson in Wisconsin. Also in Arizona, fully 61% of
Hispanics say theyre less likely to vote for John McCain due to his support for
Trump.

Voters widely believe that the Republican Senators should un-endorse Donald
Trump, including 41% of all voters in Arizona, 48% in New Hampshire, 45% in
Ohio, 42% in Pennsylvania and 51% in Wisconsin.
