Hate both Donald Trump and Joe Biden? New poll says you’ll likely vote Democratic

You may not be chanting “four more years” for Joe Biden, but a new poll suggests that if you dislike both him and Donald Trump, you’ll likely vote for that outcome.

That’s a takeaway from the latest national poll from the University of North Florida’s Public Opinion Research Lab, which analyzed a group of what pollsters call “double-haters” and ascertained some potentially interesting micro-trends.

For starters, one in nine of the “double-haters” will break from the much derided two-party duopoly.

“Only 11% of these double-haters said they were voting for a third candidate, with 43% indicating they would vote for Biden, and 30% going to Trump,” said UNF PORL Director Michael Binder.

That’s despite a lack of enthusiasm even among those 741 “likely voters” polled between April 8 and April 20, he added.

“Voters across the board don’t seem to be huge fans of any of these candidates, even within their own parties,” said Binder. “In fact, a substantial portion—15%—said they have an unfavorable opinion of both Biden and Trump, and 5% don’t like any of the three.”

Though Biden is more likely to swing double-haters, it’s Trump with a marginal 47% to 45% lead, well inside the poll’s +/- 4.2% margin of error.

However, voters will have one eye on the courtroom, given the former President’s historically unprecedented legal gauntlet.

“A sizable majority said a criminal conviction for Trump wouldn’t affect their vote, which makes sense for folks who have their minds made up,” Binder stated.

“What could dramatically impact the election is the 9% of Trump voters who said they’d be less likely to vote for him if he’s convicted.”

Overall, 24% said a guilty verdict would negatively affect their willingness to vote for Trump, while 7% would see it as a rally cry for the embattled former President.
