In a newly released September Civiqs poll for Daily Kos, a clear majority of voters said they viewed the Republican presidential ticket of Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance as “weird.” Most respondents to the poll of 1,041 registered voters did not feel the same way about Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz.
Overall, 54% of those responding to the poll say they think Trump is weird, while 43% do not. Similarly, 51% of respondents say Vance is weird. By contrast, 42% of respondents think Harris is weird, while a 54% majority feel the vice president is not a weird person. Gov. Walz had similar results, with 41% characterizing the governor as weird and 51% who say he is not.
A majority of Democrats (94%) and independent voters (55%) say Trump is weird, and while most Republicans disagreed, there were 10% of Republicans who were polled who said their party’s nominee is a weird person. Female voters were among the strongest believers in Trump weirdness (59% to 40%) while men were more evenly divided (49% for weird, 48% against).
Trump’s weird behavior was on full display during a town hall meeting the candidate held with Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday night. Trump complained that the “fake news” describes his disconnected speeches at campaign events as rambling.
