As President Donald Trump’s poll numbers have hit new lows amid the Iran war, there’s now the firmest evidence yet of a long-anticipated dynamic: the regretful Trump voter.
Yes but it’s actually 16% that would vote differently. These people are just incapable of admitting having done the wrong thing and admitting regret.
When given a chance to recast their 2024 votes, in fact, just 84% of Trump voters said they would vote for him again — compared to 91% for Harris voters.
So while some might prefer to not call it “regret,” 16% would apparently do things differently with hindsight.
Dishonesty cuts both ways. Trump has consistently performed better than his polling shows, because an awful lot of people wouldn’t admit that they voted for him. Just because these people say they regret their vote doesn’t mean they actually do.
