Former President Donald Trump’s knack for controversial statements has been a defining feature of his political career. But his harsh rhetoric is starting to backfire and is potentially jeopardizing his chances in the 2024 presidential race.

A recent Messenger/Harris poll conducted from October 13 to 15 among 1,009 registered voters, provides a fascinating glimpse into the evolving perception of Trump’s harsh rhetoric and its potential impact on his political future.

Trump 2024: Harsh rhetoric, more divisive

A significant 42% of respondents believed that Trump’s rhetoric had become “harsher and more divisive,” while another 43% thought it had remained relatively consistent over time.

Interestingly, 60% of those surveyed viewed Trump’s recent statements as nothing more than “Trump being Trump,” indicating that his unique style has become a hallmark of his political persona. On the flip side, 40% contended that he had “crossed a line” with his recent rhetoric, reflecting a palpable shift in public sentiment.

Impact on Election Prospects

But the most significant revelation of this poll is the impact of the rhetoric ahead of Trump 2024 election’s prospects. A substantial 55% of respondents felt that statements like these were detrimental to his chances, while 45% believed they actually bolstered his position.

Women, in particular, exhibited a strong aversion to his rhetoric, with 61% predicting its harm to his election prospects. Similarly, Independents, a critical demographic in American elections, expressed concerns, with 60% sharing the belief that Trump’s harsh rhetoric could spell trouble for him in 2024.

Furthermore, the poll delved into the potential ramifications of Trump’s words within the Republican Party. A notable 58% of respondents believed that messaging like this from Trump served to divide Republicans in Congress.
