Opinions | Why Donald Trump might lose influence in the Republican Party

But it masks how much his power has declined from its peak. Polls conducted before Election Day in 2020 regularly show that more Republicans say they are Trump supporters than the GOP. Echelon Insights, a GOP polling firm, found in October that 59 percent of Republicans said they were Trump acolytes first, compared to only 30 percent who first favored the party. However, firms in May found that Republicans were equally segregated in supporting the former president and the party. An NBC / Wall Street Journal poll shows the same trend. The same poll in September found 53 percent of Republicans saying they were Trump supporters first compared to 37 percent of the party’s main supporters. By April 2021, party supporters led Trump supporters to Republicans by a 50-to-44 margin. Trump is still strong, but his status is falling, not rising.
