New poll says Trump is struggling in N.J. -- with only 2% supporting him in one key group

By Jelani Gibson | NJ.com

President Donald Trump continues to face broad opposition in New Jersey, with a majority of voters holding an unfavorable view of him, according to the latest Rutgers‑Eagleton poll.

The survey, released this past week, found that 26% of respondents in New Jersey had a favorable impression of Trump, while 61% viewed him unfavorably. Another 12% said they had no opinion.

Trump posted his strongest support among white respondents in the blue-leaning state, at 37%. But his support was far lower among Black voters, with just 2% saying they had a favorable view of the Republican president.

Among Hispanic voters, 17% said they favored Trump.

These are triple Trumpers that can’t bring themselves to completely turn on him. If he illegally pursued a third term, they would be right back to being supporters.
