Washington, Dec 23: A new Quinnipiac poll released Tuesday found that half of Americans – 20% of whom are Republican – said they would be “embarrassed” to have Donald Trump as president.
The real-estate mogul is at the top of a crowded field of Republican candidates vying for their party’s presidential nomination. The Quinnipiac survey asked, “Would you feel proud to have Donald Trump as President, embarrassed to have Donald Trump as President, or wouldn’t you feel either of these ways?”
To that question, 23% of voters said they’d feel “proud,” 50% said they’d feel “embarrassed,” and 24% said neither. Of these respondents, 44% of Republicans said they’d feel proud, while only 3% of Democrats responded that way.
