93% of Republican Women Support Trump
According to Daniel Henninger, the deputy editor of the opinion page of the Wall Street Journal, 93 percent of Republican women support Trump. His information came from a recent Fox News Poll that also reported the women were even more supportive than their male counterparts who support Trump to the tune of 85 percent. The poll is extensive, so make sure you scroll down for the section where party identification begins.
Lest you believe these women are off in blind la la land, Henninger says, “Which brings us to what may be the greatest Republican political blunder of this generation — failing to fix ObamaCare. The percentage of GOP women who express concern about health care is 77%.”
The article is definitely worth reading as many of us can identify with some of the concerns of these Republican women. We solidly back Trump but are aware of the work that still needs to be done and the necessity for our own politicos to get on board.

I wonder what percentage of that 93% would feel comfortable leaving Donald Trump alone with their daughter.
This comment makes me think of a person whose brain is totally empty of constructive thought.
Don’t most of us mock the people who choose elected officials based on whether they’d want to have a beer with them?
No. One of the huge negatives about Donald Trump and Bill Clinton is their lack of fidelity to their marriages. By contrast, while I disagree with their politics, I would wholly trust Barack Obama, and Jimmy Carter with my beloved nieces, as would I wholly trust both Bushes, Reagan, Nixon and Ike.
A man who would betray his wife, will be more likely to also sell out his country for financial gain. See the so-called Clinton Foundation, Uranium One, and speakers fees as to the Clintons, and Kompromat, Trump Towers in Turkey and Russia, and Trump University as to Trump.
Let me ask this. If Trump had been compromised by Putin, how would he act differently as to Russia?
And the people who have “made peace with” the fact that Donald Trump is, as his incoming Chief of Staff once put it, a “terrible human being,” makes me wonder what’s in their brains.
Yeah, because it’s a stupid standard.
“Wanna have a beer with” is different from “Thinks it’s okay to grab women by the p****.”
“and they let you do it”.
Yep. There is only two possibles here. Adult daughters who should be able to look out for themselves, otherwise the implication is pedophilia. Is there some meaning in the statement that goes beyond that.
It would be really great to me to have a Republican President I can be proud of. While I disagreed with some of their policies, I was proud of both Bushes. And, of course I was proud of The Greatest President of the Twentieth Century.
The President is not only the Head of Government, he or she is also the Head of State. Trump is a miserable failure as a Head of State.
A small quibble. If Federal District Judges “unconstitutionally restricted” Trump, his remedy is extremely clear, he should appeal.
It is easier to respond to you opinion statements when supported by what you consider facts.
Because, of course, analogizing the President to a molester of “daughters” is a completely lucid thought. Will we be bringing out the Wikipedia “allegations” page soon?
EDIT: This was just an edit, didn’t mean to repeat.
Where is Trumpcare?
The OP was about the percentage of Republican women who support Donald Trump. The man’s attitude toward women is relevant to the discussion.
And let’s be real here, the only reason you put scare quotes around “allegations” is because Donald Trump has an “R” next to his name. If it was a “D” instead, he would be guilty until proven innocent.
Looks the opposite to me. It’s about women’s attitude toward the President.
C’mon, man.
Sorry. We’re not supposed to talk about the dozens of sexual assault allegations against the man? Or the creepy things he says about his daughter? Or how he had an affair with a pornstar while his wife was home with their newborn son?
To those of you who have come on board with your usual hatred of Trump (and there are three of you whom we all recognize doing your usual boring hijacking of a thread), I refuse to engage. To the rest of you who took the article seriously, I thought Henninger’s opinion was interesting for obvious reasons as it pointed out the overwhelming supporting, based on this poll, that Trump receives from Republican women. Adios folks. Once Gary, Julia and Fred come in I lose interest.
And yet you comment thereby engaging. Merry Christmas.
Ask the backstabbing liar John McCain.
How about showing up with some new information like the OP.
Or Ike or FDR. Man, those guys, so willing to sell out the nation! JFK too!
See, less than 93% of people here support Trump. Ricochet is less Republican than the Republican party.
EDIT: Editing out of respect for Goldwaterwoman.
I certainly wouldn’t call women of any type a “declining demographic. They are the majority. The point is, women that identify as Republican are declining. The fact that the few of them that remain love Trump, isn’t all that interesting. Its all the ones that left that matter. Particularly since they likely have Republican sensibilities, but won’t vote for a Republican that offends them….but would happily vote for one that didn’t..
I’m not aware that a lot of women have left the Republican party. In my own small world that isn’t the case at all but maybe there are some stats out there that I’m not aware of?
Uh . . . we don’t know that.
Was that really Trumpcare? Trump described it as “too mean”.
We’re a month out from a big election, so the “all my friends love Trump” anecdotes just aren’t so compelling anymore. They actually are getting a bit sad, as its an admission of living in a bubble.
Anyway, checking out the exit polls from last month:
33% of voters didn’t vote on Trump…….Republicans won that group by 8%
67% of voters did vote largely on Trump….Democrats won that group by 12%.
