Guesswork: Poll Reveals Democrats, Republicans Expectations of Trump's Tenure

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Expectations for President Donald Trump’s tenure in the White House illustrate the partisan divide in US politics, with Democratic expectations of impeachment and Republican expectations of Trump winning a second term in the 2020 elections, according to a poll by Rasmussen Reports on Wednesday.

"Nearly half of Democrats think there’s a good chance President Trump won’t make it to the end of his first term in office, but two-out-of-three Republicans see four more years in Trump’s future," a press release summarizing the poll stated.

The poll asked participants to choose between three possible scenarios: Trump’s re-election, Trump’s defeat by a Democratic opponent in 2020 and impeachment before the next presidential election.
