Most Say Trump Doesn't Have The Temperament To Be President

 

The chart above reflects the results of the Economist / YouGov Poll -- done between May 9th and 11th of a nationwide sample of 1,549 adults (including 1,410 registered voters). The margin of error is 3.5 points for adults and 3.2 points for registered voters.

    Human temperament, psychologists tell us, is fairly stable, especially over short periods of time. When seventy-seven million Americans voted for Trump in 2024, are we to presume that they thought he had the temperament for being back in office? And, if this poll is presumed to be generalizable to the American public -- probably not the electorate -- are we to presume that a substantial number of eligible voters thought Trump did not have the temperament for office but didn't vote? Or is it that Trump's temperament remained the same and, at least, some of those seventy-seven million voters have realized that he does not have the temperament for office? And which one of these is the more comforting option?

    None of them are comforting as long as Trump is in office!
