Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : When Election Day rolled around that November, I watched in horror, but not surprise, as Trump was elected into the United States' most sacred office.
36% : Like many, I'm cautiously optimistic about the figures I see on sites like FiveThirtyEight suggesting we might have a shot at keeping Trump out of the White House for good.
29% : Plenty of Republicans would tell me they were voting for Trump, but that they were unwilling to complete the survey due to fears of it being rigged or otherwise false.
