It comes in second place with 25 percent of the vote. The remaining vote will be split between Ted Cruz, Texas Senator (7%), former Vice President Mike Pence (6%), former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley (6%) and former CIA chief and Trump Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Young and highly educated voters

In a New York Times poll, 64 percent of eligible voters under the age of 35 said they would not vote for Trump in the upcoming election. Among respondents with a bachelor’s degree — an important indicator of the political preferences of voters who donate money — that figure is 65 percent.

In addition, 44 percent of respondents said they would vote for Joe Biden again – in the event of a re-election in 2020 – and only 41 percent for Trump. However, Biden’s popularity has hit rock bottom this year, with only 33 percent of voters saying they support his policies.
