- 66% of Americans who voted for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election say they are more loyal to Donald Trump, while 34% of them say they are more loyal to the Republican Party.
METHODOLOGY
This web survey was conducted from February 26, 2021 to February 28, 2021 with 1,532 Canadians and 1,002 Americans, 18 years of age or older, randomly recruited from LEO’s online panel.
For comparison, a probability sample of 1,532 respondents would have a margin of error of ±2.50%, 19 times out of 20, while a probability sample of 1,002 would have a margin of error of ±3.09%, 19 times out of 20.
