Trump is not popular beyond his base, but as things stand now, a presidential election would be close.
A new poll released this week found that in a hypothetical ballot pitting President Donald Trump against a hypothetical Democrat, the candidates would garner an equal amount of support from independents. That's another signal that, despite Trump's relative unpopularity outside his base, the upcoming presidential race could be tight.
Among all respondents, a generic Democrat edged out Trump at 39 percent to 35 percent for the president. As for how they would vote, 13 percent responded"it depends," and another 13 percent said they would not vote. Democrats, by and large, voted for the hypothetical Democratic candidate and Republicans voted mostly for Trump.
The poll surveyed 1,500 U.S. adults from March 17 through March 19. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
