Monday Chat: National Poll Has 53 Percent Saying They Won't Vote To Re-elect Trump

Howard Wilkinson

WVXU senior political analyst Howard Wilkinson spoke with Jay Hanselman Monday morning about a recent Quinnipiac University poll of American voters that had some bad news for President Trump - 53% of those polled said they will not vote for Trump for re-election, including 60% of all women voters. Anything over 50% is the last thing an incumbent wants to see, although he has plenty of time to turn that around.

Howard Wilkinson is in his 50th year of covering politics on the local, state and national levels.
