Poll: Majority Say Democrats Should Take ‘Wait and See Attitude’ Toward Trump’s Actions
A majority say Democrats should take a “wait and see attitude” toward President Donald Trump’s actions rather than immediately opposing everything he does, a June Harvard-Harris survey found.
The survey asked respondents, “Do you think Democrats should oppose everything that Trump is doing or should they take more of a wait and see attitude towards his actions?”
Across the board, a majority, 58 percent, said they want Democrats to take more of a wait and see attitude toward Trump’s actions. Another 42 percent said they want Democrats to oppose everything Trump does.
Predictably, options vary across party lines. Most Republicans and independents — 82 percent and 61 percent, respectively — believe Democrats should take a wait and see approach to Trump’s actions. However, most Democrats, 71 percent, said they want their fellow Democrats to oppose everything Trump is doing. Only 18 percent of Republicans agree with them, as do 39 percent of independents.
Similarly, the survey asked respondents if they believe Democrats should “oppose Trump on tariffs and trade policy or see how his initiative plays out over the next few weeks.” (Read more from “Poll: Majority Say Democrats Should Take ‘Wait and See Attitude’ Toward Trump’s Actions” HERE)
