A majority of Americans — including almost a quarter of self-described Republicans — say they back the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision this week to disqualify former President Donald Trump from the state’s primary ballot, according to a flash poll.
The online YouGov survey showed 54% of respondents either “strongly” or “somewhat” approved of the court’s ruling, while 35% said they either “strongly” or “somewhat” disapproved.
Another 12% said they were “not sure” how they felt.
Opinions of the decision broke down across partisan lines, with roughly 84% of Democrats backing it compared to just 24% of Republicans.
