A majority of Republican voters would support President Donald Trump seeking a constitutionally-prohibited third term, according to new polling from Data for Progress.

The survey of 1,247 likely voters, conducted last week and provided first to Semafor, found 53% of Republicans in favor of Trump running again in 2028. At the same time, Republicans were less likely than Democrats or independents to think that Trump would try to run again — a bid that would violate the 22nd Amendment and its two-term limit.

Fifty-nine percent of Democrats assumed that Trump would “attempt to run for president again,” an idea he has indulged with varying degrees of seriousness since winning reelection last year. The president’s merchandise store sells $50 “Trump 2028″ hats, which he’s also shown off to White House visitors.

“I’m not joking,” Trump told NBC’s “Meet the Press” this spring, when asked about the third term talk. Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., introduced a constitutional amendment in January that would allow Trump to run again, but would exclude the other living two-term presidents, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

Opposition to the idea from Democrats and independents overwhelmed Republican support. Ninety-one percent of Democrats and 77% of independents said that Trump should not try to run again. Eighty-six percent and 77%, respectively, said that presidents should “only be able to serve two terms,” while just 52% of Republicans agreed.

Remember when Obama voters said the same thing? I don't recall it being framed as "prohibited" but rather "Oh, isn't that inspiring?" if not "Well, let's change the Constitution so he can!"

But when it flip flops?

It's all insurrection-talk.

This is so very tiring.

Especially because you only polled 1,200.

You probably stopped there because the last 200 were starting to answer in a way that was throwing off your narrative.
 
Love him or hate him, he's got a way with making non-Americans seethe.
 
I am not sure if Trump will survive his second term. Dude physically looking as bad as Biden did mentally. Especially if the rumors of Trump taking Ozempic are true. Which means Trump eating enough to beat Ozempic. If true that horrifying and impressive at the same time.
 
He looks like death warmed over and is losing it mentally and physically...this is just objective fact.

In another 4 years he'll need to be in a nursing home for end-of-life care if not already dead a couple years before.
 
Obviously the voters would say that, the republicans don't really have much of a future after trump, but you know they'll try to frame this as republicans being "anti-constitutional". The real question is, if trump can even live through his current term.

I'm not american, so I don't really watch much of trump, but he appeared way more astute and articulate in his 2016 campaign than he does now. He's obviously senile and i'm sure it's going to get worse as his term continues.
 
Polls about impossible things that won't happen aren't very informative. How does the person interpret the impossible result? Do they imagine a world in which it is possible? Does that world look very much like ours or is it completely different? Do they give no thought to it and respond to the question impulsively? Are they annoyed enough to provide an answer they think will be shocking?

The combination of these two stats would signal to any honest statistician that, generously, they are saying they would support a third term as a super-endorsement of his current actions in office, not seriously.
The less generous interpretation is that they are deliberately fucking with pollsters because even Boomers and what's left of the Silent Gens among Republicans mostly know that public polling is 50% Democrat/elite opinion laundering and not worth the paper it's printed on.
 
Trump probably won't be in adequate shape for a third team in 2028, but if this did come to pass I'd vote for him anyway to get four more years of hissing and crying from my least favorite people on earth. Hopefully to the point of mass suicide but that's optimistic.
 
They'll put Trump's brain into robo-Trump. As Nixon informed us in Futurama nobody can have a 3rd term, but with his shiny new body Trump will be eligible. JD Vance is also around, though his brain was put into 300 foot octopus... he's not remaining in politics he just thought it would be neat.
 
Trump won't serve a 3rd term and we need to get the entire country to make an amendmen to repeal the 2 terms rule.
That being said Vance, Rubio, are the top 2 runners with Tucker being s close 3rd for president.
 
Trumps probably gonna choke on a big mac or something by the time he could go in for his third term. Isn't he like 80?

respondent 1: a third term? who wrote this shit? yes, I have never heard of term limits and I want to illegally elect Trump a third time. idiots. *marks yes out of spite*
respondent 2: lol. imagine all the retards who would lose their shit if we did. maybe we'd get to see Rachel Maddow cry insanely on national TV again. *marks yes out of spite*
respondent 3: sheeit, it'd probably still be better than the alternative. *marks yes out of spite*

reporter reading the results: oh my god. Trump voters literally want to destroy the constitution
 
Let's just wait and see how the midterms go before we poll people about something that would require a constitutional amendment.
