honestly, the argument of 52% or 40% or whatever doesn't really matter. even if it's off by some and isn't quite over half i'm not going to doubt that a very significant chunk of republicans feel that way. similarly i wouldn't have doubted that a vast majority of democrats would've preferred a third Obama term over Hillary or Trump. that wouldn't shock me if it were 60%+ quite frankly, with a good chunk of that being fine with the same thing proposed here. so the idea of Trump having a good chunk willing to suspend? well yeah, 70-80% of the republican base supports him, he is the representative of the party. they may not like everything he does but they like enough (way more than Mitch, that's for sure). net result, they'll have no problem with more years with him: it means no dems and he continues to dominate.


in the end it's a silly poll to have mind you, it's still 2017. run that poll again in 2019, when it'd actually represent something after most of a presidential term. right now there's still a "Trump high" because he's constantly in the news and doing things many of them like. it's the impression that he's doing stuff when he's really not.

Data provided to The Hill by the conservative polling outlet WPA Research found that 67 percent of Democrats would take a third term for Obama over a potential Clinton administration.

Only 28 percent said they're ready to move on from the Obama White House, while 6 percent are undecided.
