  Former Republican Party nominee Mitt Romney's speech last week, trashing GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, did little to dissuade voters from supporting the New York real estate mogul. Thirty-one percent of Republican voters, after Romney called Trump "a phony," said they are now more likely to cast a vote for Trump and 30 percent of the voters who supported Romney in 2012 said they are more likely to vote for Trump, according to a new Morning Consult poll released Tuesday. Roughly 20 percent of GOP voters said they're less likely to support Trump. Forty-three percent of the voters said they didn't think Romney's criticisms had an impact. The Morning Consult poll also suggests Republican voters favor Trump over Romney, as the real estate mogul has a slightly higher favorability rating. The poll suggests Trump has a 55-42 favorability rating, while the former Massachusetts governor's favorability rating is 51-41. Only five percent of Trump supporters polled said they are now less likely to support the frontrunner. Read More |
