Analysis | How many Trump voters regret their votes?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

66% : And more to the point: That 5 percent is a pretty unremarkable number when you consider that nearly as many Kamala Harris voters -- 4 percent -- said they supported what Trump has done.
53% : All told, these and other polls suggest disapproval of Trump among Trump voters is in the mid-single digits. Which brings us to the buts.
52% : If you're on social media these days, you might have noticed a growing volume of posts about Trump supporters who, to paraphrase, effed around and found out.
52% : An Arizona focus group reported on by Axios earlier this month, conversely, found swing voters who voted for Trump gave him a unanimous thumbs-up.
52% : The other big limitation is that these polls rely on people self-reporting whom they voted for in 2024.
43% : And the Post poll shows just 65 percent say they approve of Musk shutting down federal government programs.
35% : Two recent polls have gotten at this question rather directly and found that a pretty unremarkable number of Trump supporters are expressing measures of regret.
35% : And there are clear signs that what Trump is doing could alienate significant portions of his voter base.
30% : A Washington Post-Ipsos poll conducted Feb. 13-18 found that just 5 percent of voters who said they cast ballots for Trump opposed what he has done since taking office, including just 1 percent who "strongly" opposed it.
27% : Trump has indeed taken lots of drastic actions that invite his voters to dislike what they're seeing.
25% : It would seem plausible that some people who actually voted for Trump but have decided they don't like what he's doing would not want to cop to that vote.
25% : And 13 percent of Trump voters in the CNN poll say they would prefer to see less of Trump.
22% : (Many say they're undecided, apparently reserving judgment.)13 percent of Trump voters say Trump has gone "beyond his level of authority" as president, according to the Post poll.
21% : Around 1 in 10 in the CNN and YouGov polls say Trump has gone "too far" with his presidential powers and in cutting government programs.
