Republican Voters Wish They’d Picked A Different Nominee

They’re unhappy with Donald Trump, but can’t agree on anyone else.

Seventeen candidates ran for the Republican presidential nomination this year. A majority of GOP voters now say that they wish they’d picked one of the 16 who weren’t Donald Trump, according to a new HuffPost/YouGov survey.

The public as a whole is less than impressed with either party’s nominee. Just 20 percent of all voters say that Trump was Republicans’ best choice, while 30 percent think Hillary Clinton was Democrats’ best option.

Dissatisfaction with Trump, however, extends within his own party. Republican and Republican-leaning voters say by a 19-point margin, 54 percent to 35 percent, that Donald Trump wasn’t the best option in this year’s pool of candidates. In a June HuffPost/YouGov poll, those voters were evenly split, with 44 percent saying Trump was the best choice and another 44 percent that the party could have done better.

Meanwhile, a majority of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters are still satisfied with their nominee. Fifty-three percent say Clinton was their party’s best option, with 37 percent saying she was not. In June, the split was 56 percent to 32 percent.

Looks like Republicans are having buyers remorse.

I agree. Reagan was the last of the Countries interest in front of my own. What a classy eloquent man. God I miss that guy
