Here are the results of our “Despicable Trump Supporters” poll. Politics Plus Polls are not scientific, because those who respond are not balanced according to demographic categories. Therefore, we do not accurately reflect the makeup of the US population. Nevertheless, our polls are usually factually accurate, and more often than not, they reflect thinking or will of the national majority.
Since our polling site no longer enables us to copy and paste your poll comments, you may read them here.
When I wrote the poll, I used synonym for deplorable, and felt that using that word might influence the poll. I voted 60 – 70 percent. Although the rabid Republican base are overwhelmingly racist, sexist, homophobic, and xenophobic, I think that there are millions of rank and file Republicans who are decent people, who pay absolutely no attention to politics, seldom, if ever, watch the news, watch Faux Noise when they do, and have no inkling of the evil Trump represents. Many vote Republican out of family tradition.
There is a new poll up. Please vote in it.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Well, what I said was "I may be thinking unfairly of the deluded – but if they are going to support him, they need to won him" and of course I meant "they need to OWN him." If their candidate wins, it won't matter how many of them are decent people but ignorant.
Thanks, Tom.
Many people who claim to support Trump actually don't. They will vote for him because they mindlessly hate Clinton.Thanks Tom…peace.
I somehow failed to vote in this one. Sorry.
Me, too.
Most likely I just wasn't paying attention. (Like THAT'S anything new!)
I voted 70-80 but felt I was being a little harsh. After watching some of Drumpf's rabid deplorables, it is hard not to be harsh.
Thank all! JD, Cheryl and the Squatch all made good points.
I'm the one who voted under 20%. Pass on this one.
Less than 20% deplorable?!?
Well, you're just a cockeyed optimist.
[Either that, or your meds need adjustment. ;-)]
