That’s nothing to sneeze at.
Former President Donald Trump holds a dominating 47-point lead over Joe Biden among un-jabbed voters and those who never completed a full vaccine course, according to a new poll.
The former president received the backing of 63% of voters who never received the jab or didn’t complete the initial Modera/Pfizer vaccine course, the Schoen-Cooperman survey showed.
President Biden collected just 16% of the unvaxxed/one jab vote.
Surprisingly Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — a diehard vaccine skeptic — took just 12% of that group.
The same trends held among voters who received a full vaccination but never followed up with any boosters.
Of this cohort, 46% said they would back Trump, with just 30% supporting Biden.
RFK was last with just 16% support.
“Donald Trump has a commanding lead with unvaccinated voters. While these voters are united in their distrust of the COVID-19 vaccine and care about the presidential candidates’ position on the vaccine, they are largely conservative, Republican voters who broke heavily for Trump in 2020,” said pollster Carly Cooperman, who conducted the survey.
Three out of four unvaccinated voters said they were “absolutely certain” about their choice in the looming contest.
Almost half of unvaccinated voters were black or Hispanic according to the poll — a demographic other surveys have shown Trump is making large inroads with.
Up to 30% of Americans are believed to be either unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The poll surveyed 400 unvaccinated voters and 400 unboosted voters between May 25 and May 28.
Trump has hailed the development of the vaccines as a signature accomplishment of his presidency. Both candidates have liabilities on the issue.
Trump oversaw nationwide lockdowns and empowered COVID czar Dr. Anthony Fauci — who only recently admitted that the virus could have been manmade.
Biden oversaw nearly a million COVID deaths and unprecedented covid-relief spending, widely viewed as contributing to inflation today.
The unvaxxed faced particularly extreme challenges. In New York City, they were banished from bars, restaurants, gyms and entertainment venues. City employees who refused to get the jab were fired. Even private businesses were ordered to ensure employees were vaccinated.
One unvaxxed city employee — who managed to slip through the net — said he liked RFK but was backing Trump anyway.
“I’m probably voting for Trump due to the lawfare used against him which cannot be allowed in this country,” the employee said.
