Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : "Well, there are plans," Trump said to Welker.
54% : The person to whom Trump would be the running mate in that scenario could then immediately resign after winning and being sworn in as president, letting Trump take over by succession.
54% : But asked if being president a third time would be too much work, he said: "I like working." And asked if he was just joking, as he and his supporters like to say whenever he floats anti-constitutional ideas, he said: "No, no, I'm not joking.
48% : Trump told host Kristen Welker
46% : Nonetheless, Welker theorized that Vance could somehow "pass the baton" to Trump.
32% : In an interview aired Sunday on NBC, Trump was asked about his trying to stay in office beyond his second presidency, a specter he has repeatedly raised while sometimes claiming he is just joking.
24% : When pushed to detail those methods, Trump said, "No." Trump then said it was "far too early to think about" trying to defy the two presidential term limit in the constitution to stay in office and that he was "focused on the current".
22% : " Muller said that indicates that if Trump is not eligible to run for president again because of the 22nd amendment, he is not eligible to run for the vice-presidency, either. "I don't think there's any 'one weird trick' to getting around presidential term limits," Muller said.
13% : After Trump's "King" comments in February, the Republican US senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma said he would not back an unconstitutional third term under Trump.
10% : In interview Trump said he wasn't joking when he alluded to a purported loophole for a third term as president Donald Trump has said there are "methods" - if not "plans" - to circumvent the constitutional limit preventing US presidents from serving three terms.
2% : Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Bill Clinton and George W Bush could not seek a third term under an amendment like the one posited by Ogles, which would stand virtually no chance of passing.
