A poll conducted by More in Common from June 10 to 17 found that 20 percent of 2024 Trump voters, labeled the Reluctant Right, plan to support only Republican candidates in the November midterms at a rate of 40 percent. Washington Examiner reported that 14 percent of this group said they will vote for Democratic candidates and 71 percent said they will vote for a mix of candidates.

The same survey showed younger Trump voters more open to Democratic support than older ones.

Eleven percent of Gen Z Trump voters and 8 percent of millennial Trump voters said they will vote Democratic, compared with 3 percent of Gen X and boomer Trump voters. The poll surveyed 2,788 U.S. adults with an oversample of 2,029 2024 Trump voters.

The Reluctant Right gave Trump a performance rating of 52 out of 100. Washington Examiner reported that MAGA hard-liners, who make up 29 percent of Trump’s 2024 voters, gave him 93 out of 100, while anti-woke conservatives at 21 percent gave 83 and mainline Republicans at 30 percent gave 82.
