Trump team rejects John Bolton’s poll
The pollster of former US President Donald Trump has rejected the findings of a poll commissioned by former national security adviser John Bolton indicating Trump’s standing among the Republican voters is weakening since he has left the White House.
In a statement issued by Trump’s PAC, his pollster John McLaughlin once again said that Trump still has the highest endorsement rating among the GOPers and that the majority of voters are eagerly waiting to join his campaign for the 2024 presidential election.
“Polling continually shows that when President Trump endorses, it almost always clears the field and puts his America First candidate on the path to victory,” McLaughlin said. “That’s why everybody is coming to Mar-a-Lago for his support.”
He further criticized John Bolton as a figure who is completely detached from the realities of the Republican party.
“John Bolton’s failed warmonger views are completely out of touch with today’s Republican Party and the majority of Americans,” McLaughlin said. “President Trump’s successful America First policies kept us safe. This is a big reason why Republicans want him to run again.”
The comments by McLaughlin came after Bolton’s super PAC, the John Bolton PAC, released the findings of a poll conducted by veteran North Carolina GOP pollster Carter Wrenn. The poll that was conducted based on the responses of 1,000 general election voters, showed that the number of those who consider the former president “very favorably” has decreaed to 19 percent in comparison to a similar poll that was conducted in October.
“We were motivated in part because of the palpable discrepancy in our public discourse between what commentators, politicians and others assert about the present and future status of the Republican Party, and the evidence they possess to support their contentions,” Bolton said on Tuesday following the release of the results.
“Clearly, we face a ‘rhetoric gap,’ a significant disjunction between opinions and facts,” he added. “One of our principal objectives here is to contribute to closing that rhetoric gap.”
Bolton, who was fired by Trump in September 2019, has emerged as a vocal critic of the former president.
He had previously slammed Trump for continuing to challenge the results of the disputed November 3 election, saying “he's the political equivalent of a street rioter."
