POLL: Trump's Opposition Firmer Than His Support

As a candidate, President Trump once joked, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters."

A new poll tests how true that idea is. A sizable chunk of Trump's voters are nearly immovable: Around 15 percent of Americans say they approve of Trump, and that "there is almost nothing he could do to lose their support," according to a new poll from the Public Religion Research Institute, or PRRI. A slightly larger share, 26 percent, approve of him but say they could change their minds.

Meanwhile, his opposition stands firmer: Thirty-three percent say they disapprove of Trump and that "there is almost nothing he could do to win their support."
