Poll: Donald Trump holds strong lead with cigar smokers in presidential race

1
Can the VP gain ground with this demographic?

Will the stogie caucus decide how the race for the White House goes down?

If so, smokers seem to be coalescing behind one candidate.

That’s the takeaway from the latest subscriber survey from Cigar Aficionado, at least.

Donald Trump has 57% support, though he is down four points from 61% in the previous poll.

But lapsed Trump supporters aren’t shifting to Kamala Harris.

She has 31% support, down two points since the previous poll.

4% of the 354 respondents are looking elsewhere, with 8% undecided.

Trump’s lead reflects a GOP advantage among subscribers. 51% are Republicans, with 16% saying they are Democrats.

While smokers seem to be siding with the former President, a New York Times national polling average shows Harris up by 3.

    Apparently, he’s got some serious issues with body odor. Cigar smoke might mask some of that odor..

      Is that Bill Clinton you are referring to? Maybe that’s why he prefers flavored cigars.🤣

      Did Rush take that Medal of Freedom with him and was it fire proof?

    According to the CDC:

    Cigar smoking can cause cancers of the mouth and throat, even If you do not inhale.
    Cigar smoking can cause lung cancer and heart disease.
    Tobacco use increases the risk of infertility, stillbirth, and low birth weight.
    Cigars are not a safe alternative to cigarettes.
    Tobacco smoke increases the risk of lung cancer and heart disease, even in nonsmokers.

    I watched my grandfather – a cigar and pipe smoker – die a slow and painful death from emphysema. Not a pretty sight.

      Then we have those that favor open borders. Double digit inflation is no big deal as well. Let’s reimagine and defund the police. Free college (I mean let’s bail out those dummies that got worthless degrees) supporters.

    If you ask me, this poll sounds like a Cheech and Chong movie — up in smoke.

    No real surprise there. Most of Trump supporters live in a trailer next to Kid Rock and on welfare. We’re paying for those cigs, tax dollars at work! Get rid of the redhat and get rid of the hatred!
