After all the regulation reporting in Quinnipiac’s latest Trump poll — the college-educated white voters, the non-college educated, the media trust factor, the GOP edge the president still enjoys — comes the more personal stuff. These are like the Super Bowl prop bets of the polls — they don’t win or lose the game, but make for interesting stuff in between. In the latest poll perhaps none of these is more striking than the finding that 94% of Republican voters believe Donald Trump is “a strong person.”
That 94% is the closest thing to a consensus on any of the questions, followed closely by the 93% of Republicans who believe that “Donald Trump is intelligent.” 40% of Democrats polled would describe Trump as a “strong person.” 31% of Dems would call him “intelligent.” Men were more likely than women to find Trump strong (men: 69%; women: 60%) or intelligent (men: 61%; women: 54%).
