GOP Reportedly Hid Trump's Weak Numbers At MAGA-Supporting Lawmaker Retreats

Internal data reveal Trump could be a risky bet for GOP leadership.
The Republican Party might be high on Donald Trump, but key voters, not so much, The Washington Post reported Saturday. Internal GOP polling data baring Trump’s weak numbers in key battleground districts were kept under wraps by The National Republican Congressional Committee at recent retreats for Republican lawmakers, sources told the Post. NRCC staffers reportedly held back the bad news even when a member of Congress asked directly about Trump’s standing at a retreat last month for GOP House members, according to the newspaper. The Post later obtained the full results, revealing that Trump’s unfavorable ratings were 15 points higher than his favorable ones in the “core districts.” In addition, nearly twice as many voters had a strongly unfavorable view of him than those who had a strongly favorable one in those areas, the newspaper reported.More Related News
