MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki delivered some bad news for Democrats on Chris Jansing Reports Wednesday afternoon.
Much has been made about presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s potential vulnerability with GOP voters who supported Nikki Haley, especially because Trump himself has done little to try to unify the party. On Wednesday morning, for example, he mocked Haley even as she walked up to the podium to announce the suspension of her campaign.
But according to Kornacki, it’s Biden — not Trump — who is bleeding support among his base.
“Look, over the last few days we’ve had four national polls come out showing small, small leads for Donald Trump. But what’s interesting in those polls is you ask Republicans, in a Trump-Biden match up, who are you supporting? And in these polls, here it is, 91-6, 92-5, 96-4 for Trump. This is Trump’s share with Republicans in general election polling. What did he get among Republicans in 2020? He got 94%. What did he get among Republicans when he won in 2016? He got 92%,” began Kornacki, who explained that Trump’s “support in the general election polls among Republicans really isn’t showing any slack.”
