GOP pollster: Policies with Trump's name tend to lose support in polls

Republican pollster Conor Maguire said on Monday that policies explicitly attached to President Trump tend to lose support in surveys.

"We look at this all the time in polling. As soon as you attach that Trump name to it, you lose a huge percentage of voters right away in their support," Maguire, senior client strategist at WPA Intelligence, told Hill.TV's Joe Concha on "What America's Thinking."

"It is amazing. Whether it's the 'I don't want to agree with anything that the president is pushing forward,' or 'I don't want to give him credit for anything,' that certainly plays a big role into it," he continued.

"That's one of the things we always test, and always look at, [which] is why do people not like something? Is it strictly just party? Is it strictly anti-Trump? Or is there something more to it?" he said.

Maguire's comments come after a Fox News poll released last week showed that former President Obama's signature 2010 healthcare law is currently more popular than the Republican tax plan, which was passed last year and supported by Trump.
