About 26% of voters who backed Donald Trump in 2024 say Republican candidates should distance themselves from the president to win in November, according to a new survey by PF Global. The finding suggests that at least some Trump voters see a political cost in tying Republican candidates too closely to the White House as the 2026 elections approach. The survey’s release pointed to persistent inflation, gasoline prices near $4 a gallon, mortgage rates around 7%, the conflict in the Middle East and a trade dispute with Canada as issues putting Republicans under pressure. Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers offered a recent example of a Republican breaking with Trump’s position. Rogers called for an end to the tariff fight with Canada this week, after weeks of defending the president’s decision. Jason Roe, a Michigan Republican strategist working on Rep. Tom Barrett’s reelection campaign, said affordability is increasingly prominent in polling he sees. He also pointed to gas prices and the Canada trade dispute as concerns for voters in the state. The poll was conducted by PF Global, an independent polling firm headquartered in London. The published findings provided the share of Trump’s 2024 voters who support candidates breaking with him, but did not include a sample size or other survey-method details.
