Voters hate Donald Trump so much they're turning against the 'border wall' too

Now this is interesting: Evidence that Donald Trump's toxic campaign status is also causing American voters to shift their opinions about one of his, and the Republican Party's, key policy demands.

The PEPS data track changes in support for the [border] wall among the same individuals who were interviewed in December-January and July-August 2016. Their support for the border wall dropped from 48 percent to 38 percent.

More importantly, the PEPS data reveal who was particularly likely to shift to opposing the border wall: people who did not like Trump in 2015.

Got that? Support for building a "border wall," a staple of Republican campaigning (and conspiracy theories) for eons now, has dropped roughly ten points during the time Trump has campaigned on the issue, fueled mostly by voter's contempt for Trump....
