A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows that a plurality of Americans disapprove (41%) of Donald Trump’s decision to host a private dinner with openly antisemitic rapper Kanye West and “his associates.”
and the notion that Jewish people exploit and intimidate others for financial gain. Ye’s generalizations about Jews [are] deeply offensive and perpetuat[e] these harmful stereotypes.”
Among Republicans and Trump voters , the combined number who say they’ve heard some or a lot about Fuentes is even lower — perhaps because conservative media outlets such as Fox News haveTrump’s dinner with Fuentes and Ye. Indeed, awareness of Fuentes is significantly higher with self-reported viewers of MSNBC and CNN than with viewers of Fox News .
Among this group, disapproval of Trump’s decision to dine with Fuentes was nearly 20 percentage points higher , while uncertainty was nearly 20 points lower . Among Republicans, approval held steady between the two half-samples , but disapproval doubled while uncertainty fell by nearly half . In mid-June, Trump's favorable rating was underwater by 10 points . Today, it is underwater by 15 points . That five-point shift is almost twice the poll’s 2.6% margin of error. The biggest decline came among those who say they have a “very favorable” opinion of Trump — a group that shrunk a full 7 percentage points .
Any further association with figures like Fuentes and West probably wouldn’t help Trump’s approval numbers. Among all adults, just 19% say they have a favorable view of West, while 61% say they have an unfavorable opinion . West’s favorable rating is highest among Black Americans and adults under 30 . Overall, however, just 5% of Americans view West “very” favorably at this point.
