Washington D.C. – New data released from the third national survey conducted by John Bolton Super PAC of likely voters revealed only 33% of voters favored withdrawing all troops from Afghanistan. 50% of the Democrats supported withdrawing all troops compared to only 31% of Independents and 17% of Republicans.

Trump and Biden both supported withdrawing from Afghanistan. Withdrawing hurt Biden with Independents where his Favorables dropped 13 points and his Unfavorables rose 17 points, a net drop of 30 points. Supporting withdrawal hurt Trump with conservatives, where in the Republican primary Trump’s vote among Very Conservative voters dropped 23.5 points.

Statement by Ambassador John Bolton:

“Voters rejected the Trump-Biden Afghanistan withdrawal strategy proving that everyday Americans have a better sense of our security needs than the current and previous occupants of the Oval Office. Overwhelming numbers see this as a major failure that makes America less safe and emboldens terrorists and adversaries to challenge the United States.”

New data released from the September poll:

1. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? “President Trump and President Biden both made major mistakes in Afghanistan – to move forward we need new leaders and fresh faces.”

Agree 50.5
Disagree 39.6
Refused/DK 9.9

2. Question: In your opinion, does the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan make the United States safer from terrorism, less safe from terrorism, or does it make no difference?

Safer 5.8
Less Safe 51.8
No Difference 37.0
Refused/DK 5.4

Note: 77% of conservative voters said withdrawal made us less safe.

3. Question: President Trump and President Biden both negotiated with Taliban – they told Taliban: ‘We will withdraw our troops if, in exchange, you do not assist terrorist groups like Al Qaeda.’ In your opinion, did President Trump, President Biden, or both, make the mistake of trusting Taliban to keep its promises?

Trump made mistake 14.5
Biden made mistake 31.6
Both 39.5
Refused/DK 14.4

Note: In total, 71% said Biden made a mistake. 54% said Trump made a mistake.

4. Question – True or Untrue: The Taliban is a terrorist group.

True 88.3
Untrue 5.1
Don’t know 6.6

5. Question: The Taliban is a terrorist organization and former President Trump should not have negotiated with terrorists.

True 55.5
Untrue 30.4
DK/Refused 14.1

6. Question: After 9/11 Taliban protected Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. Knowing this, do you agree or disagree with the following statement: “Withdrawing from Afghanistan wasn’t a good idea that was botched – it was a bad idea because now Taliban will once again provide terrorist groups – like Al Qaeda – with safe havens and a base of operations.”

True 56.2
Untrue 25.9
DK/Refused 18.0

Note: Liberal voters disagree but both moderate and conservative voters agree. Conservative voters agree most – 69%. Republicans agree (72%), Independents agree (60%), Democrats agree but more narrowly (A-41, D-34, DK-24).

7. Question: True/Untrue: “Taliban supports terrorist groups like Al Qaeda.”

True 80.8
Untrue 5.6
DK/Refused 13.6

Note: Liberals agree 71%, moderates agree 79%, conservatives agree 89%. Republicans agree 91%, Democrats agree 74%, Independents agree 79%.

8. Question: Looking back, do you think the U. S. should have: 1) Withdrawn all its troops from Afghanistan; 2) Withdrawn some but left troops in the country; 3) Not withdrawn any; 4) Not withdrawn and sent more troops.

Withdrawn all 33.1
Left some troops 42.2
Not withdrawn any 9.8
Sent more troops 5.0
DK/Refused 9.9

Note: In all, only 33% of voters favor withdrawing all troops. 50% of the Democrats said withdraw all troops compared to only 31% of Independents and 17% of Republicans.

9. Question: President Trump made a mistake in negotiating only with the Taliban and agreeing to the Taliban’s demand of excluding the government of Afghanistan.

Agree 50.6
Disagree 30.3
DK/Refused 19.1

10. Question: Our failure in Afghanistan will encourage jihadist groups across the globe, encouraging them that they can succeed, thus making them more likely to attack the United States.

Agree 60.8
Disagree 29.1
DK/Refused 10.1

These findings are based on a national survey conducted September 16-18, 2021, on behalf of John Bolton Super PAC of 1,000 likely voters. Political veteran Carter Wrenn analyzed the results. The survey of general election voters has a margin of error of +/- 3.1% at a 95% confidence interval.

New Poll: Trump takes big hit among Republican voters; Biden and Trump both suffer huge political damage

National security failure shakes up the 2024 Republican Primary as Trump falls into a virtual tie with Ron DeSantis.

Washington D.C. – A new national survey conducted by John Bolton Super PAC of likely voters revealed huge political damage for both Donald Trump and Joe Biden stemming from the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. The deepest impact for Trump was suffering a stunning 20-point drop with 2024 Republican primary voters (46% in July to 26% in September). The poll finds Trump virtually tied (26.2%-25.2%) with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. This dramatic movement is the strongest evidence yet that Republican voters are tiring of Trump. 57% of Republicans say ‘to move forward we need new leaders and fresh faces.’ The poll was conducted after the withdrawal from Afghanistan was completed.

President Biden also saw a 10-point plunge in his popularity overall, but dropped a shocking 30-points with Independents, the key swing voters in the General Election.

Statement by Ambassador John Bolton:

“These numbers will probably come as a shock to Donald Trump. After 20 years in Afghanistan, it’s clear that Americans are unhappy with leaving as we did. Voters were smart enough to see that President Trump started the withdrawal and legitimized the Taliban through negotiations. They recognize that withdrawal carries more risks for the homeland than keeping a U.S. and NATO military presence in Afghanistan. Biden bears the responsibly for the final embarrassing moments and his corresponding drop in support reflects that, but it’s not lost on anyone that Trump, like Biden, wanted to withdraw and shares the blame for the failure. National security matters to voters, especially when failure leads to greater risks, so you rightly see conservatives quickly considering options other than Donald Trump.”

Key findings from the poll include:

    • Neither Trump or Biden fared well on Afghanistan, with a majority saying major mistakes were made by both Presidents and a slightly larger group (55%) saying it was a mistake for Trump to negotiate with the Taliban.
    • A majority of voters (51%) said the U.S. is less safe as a result of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, including 77% of conservatives. Voters also disagreed with the strategy entirely, with 57% saying troops should have remained and 81% agreeing the Taliban supports terrorist groups like Al Qaeda.
    • Consistent with our prior polls, the desire for a fresh face continues to increase. Since former president Trump’s popularity has dropped with voters since the 2020 election, 57% to 29% agree that a new Republican candidate – a fresh face – would be a stronger candidate to defeat Joe Biden in 2024.
    • Trump’s vote dropped from 46% in July to 26% in September in the 2024 Republican primary field. He is now virtually tied, 26.2% to 25.2% with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

    Note: Trump’s vote dropped from 46% in July to 26% in September. He dropped 23.5% with Very Conservative voters and 22% with Somewhat Conservative voters.

    1. Question: If the next Republican primary for President in your state was held today, and the candidates were Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Ron DeSantis, Mikki Haley, Josh Hawley, Kristi Noem, Mike Pence, Marco Rubio, Tim Scott, and Donald Trump – for whom would you vote?

    Sept July +/-
    All primary voters
    Donald Trump 26.2 46.0 -19.8
    Not Trump 73.8 54.0 +19.8
    Very Conservative Primary voters:

    Not Trump 82.2 74.8 +7.4

    2. If the next Republican primary for president in your state was held today, and the candidates were Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Josh Hawley, Kristi Noem, Mike Pence, Marco Rubio, Tim Scott And Donald Trump for whom would you vote?

    Donald Trump 26.2

New National Poll:Trump’s GOP Support Is Fragmenting

Post-election missteps are leading Trump’s core supporters to abandon him

Washington D.C. – A new nationwide survey by John Bolton Super PAC of voters reveals that a majority of Republican primary voters now agree “that a new Republican candidate – a fresh face – would be a stronger candidate to defeat Joe Biden in 2024.” That is a major shift since our first national poll taken in April where 50% of primary voters said Trump would be the strongest candidate to defeat Biden while 36% said another candidate would be stronger. That’s a shift of 17 points away from Trump and 16 points to a “fresh face” – a 33-point swing.

Specifically, Republican primary voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of the January 6 riot, sided with Pence over certifying electoral college voters, and are concerned over the recent Trump Organization indictments.

Ambassador John Bolton:

“The significant amount of data in this poll should be of considerable interest to Republican candidates at all levels: presidential, congressional, and state/local.

The data show the fissures in Trump’s base are expanding, and show that GOP voters still prize good policy above anyone’s personality.”

Other key findings from the poll include:

– A third of Trump’s most ardent supporters – Republican primary voters who are Very Favorable to Trump – now say a fresh face would be a stronger candidate against Biden than Trump. Of Republican primary voters who are less ardent Trump supporters – voters who are Somewhat Favorable to Trump – 69% said a fresh face will be a stronger candidate.

– By a share of 2:1, Republicans sided with Mike Pence recognizing that the Vice President lacks the authority to throw out electoral college votes. 62% of all voters agree with Pence – only 14% agree with Trump. Republican primary voters also agree with Pence (43%) while only 23% agree with Trump.

– 46% of Republican primary voters believe Trump should have taken stronger steps to stop the rioters when they entered the Capitol and an overwhelming 62% of general election voters indicating Trump is to blame for the attack.

– Recent Trump organization indictments are big trouble for Trump with 45% of all voters saying the indictments for tax evasion and other charges make them less favorable to Trump, along with 22% of Republican primary voters.

– Despite Trump’s claims “the election was stolen, 64% of all voters now say Biden won the election and “is truly President.” Biden leads Trump in the 2024 Presidential ballot and Democrats lead the 2022 generic congressional ballot.

These findings are based on a nationally representative survey conducted by political veteran Carter Wrenn on behalf of John Bolton Super PAC, of 1,000 of likely midterm general election voters, with an oversample of Republican voters. The survey of general election voters has a margin of error of +/- 3.1% at a 95% confidence interval.

New poll shows Trump’s base in New Hampshire drops 35% since October 2020.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Washington D.C. – A new survey of New Hampshire voters by John Bolton Super PAC and the New Hampshire Institute of Politics revealed former President Donald Trump’s base has dropped 35% since the election with 2024 Republican primary voters. Trump’s decline is primarily due to his personality or character, as 61% of Republican voters say they disapprove of his personality. These results confirm trends among Republican primary voters first revealed in polling results released by John Bolton Super PAC in April.

Statement by Ambassador John Bolton:

“The second survey commissioned by the John Bolton Super PAC, this time of New Hampshire voters, undertaken by St. Anselm College’s Institute of Politics, shows a continuation of trends identified in our first poll, a national survey announced in April – an ongoing weakening of support for Trump within the Republican Party. This is true not only in the national poll, but in New Hampshire, a key state for the 2022 mid-term elections, with both Senatorial and Gubernatorial elections scheduled. And, New Hampshire, of course, remains the first-in-the-nation Republican primary in 2024 for the Party’s presidential nomination.

As described more fully in the attached narrative and presentation of results to the survey questions as presented to us by St. Amselm College’s Institute of Politics, we believe that the “conventional wisdom” that former President Trump still controls the Republican Party is becoming increasingly less and less tenable among his strongest supporters, regular Republicans as well as Independents. The rhetorical gap between the increasing disenchantment of actual Republican voters on the one hand and the vested interest of Trump and his supporters on the other is becoming broader.

We welcome additional polling on the subjects we have been raising by all responsible pollsters. As we demonstrated in our first national poll announced in April, we are committed to openness and transparency and have released all the data for everyone to view. With the very concept of public-opinion polling on political questions under heavy criticism in the United States, we believe nothing less is satisfactory. So for all the others who may engage in polling similar to ours, we would also welcome your commitment to full transparency as well.”

Key findings from the poll include:

– Trump has suffered a significant erosion of “strongly favorable” voters. 47% of Republican voters now have a strongly favorable opinion of Trump, compared to 71% just prior to the election. Trump has a narrow lead in the GOP primary — 52% vote Trump, 48% not Trump.

– 61% of New Hampshire Republican voters disapprove of Donald Trump’s personality. Voters in New Hampshire also say, overwhelmingly, that a candidate’s stands on issues is more important to them than a candidate’s loyalty to Trump – by a margin of 91% to 8%.

– Voters disagree with Trump’s claim that he won the 2020 election by a wide margins — 58% to 28%.

– 46% of New Hampshire Republican voters said Trump’s opposition to a Republican candidate in a primary made no difference to them. Trump’s endorsement helps a candidate in a primary but also makes it harder for the candidate to win the general election. 56% of the Undeclared voters are Strongly Unfavorable to Trump and almost all vote for Biden.

These findings are based on a survey of New Hampshire voters conducted on behalf of John Bolton Super PAC by the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, of 1,267 of likely midterm general election voters, with an oversample of Republican voters. Political veteran Carter Wrenn helped analyze the results. The survey of general election voters has a margin of error of +/- 2.8% at a 95% confidence interval.

Poll reveals Trump’s GOP base is weakening.

Data shows that Trump endorsements are significantly less positive than seen by conventional wisdom.

Washington D.C. – A new nationwide survey by John Bolton Super PAC of midterm election voters revealed that support for President Trump is weakening inside the GOP. Specifically, 56% of Republican primary voters would support a candidate other than Donald Trump. Further, midterm voters revealed that a Trump endorsement in a race had very little net positive effect, and overwhelmingly signaled that a candidate’s position on key issues mattered more than a candidate’s loyalty to Donald Trump.

Statement of Ambassador John Bolton:

This is a critical time for the future of the Republican Party: what it stands for and who leads it. I am, therefore, delighted to announce the results of our recent nationwide public-opinion poll, the first in what we hope we will be a series of surveys at the national and state levels. As described in more detail below, the poll was aimed at better understanding attitudes about a variety of factors affecting the Republican Party and its future: views on issues and policies; opinions about former President Donald Trump; and voting preferences looking forward. To that end, we surveyed both a 1000-person sample of all voters and an oversample of Republicans (600 in number).

We were motivated in part because of the palpable discrepancy in our public discourse between what commentators, politicians and others assert about the present and future status of the Republican Party, and the evidence they possess to support their contentions. Clearly, we face a “rhetoric gap,” a significant disjunction between opinions and facts. One of our principal objectives here is to contribute to closing that rhetoric gap.

It is understandable in light of recent election-year experience that many Americans have lost all or much of their confidence in the integrity, accuracy and fairness of public-opinion polling. We make no special methodological claims for this poll, other than to say we rigorously employed highly regarded professional practices. In addition, we are making our results public for all to see and analyze.

One poll alone is obviously only a start, which is why we hope to continue and elaborate on this poll on a regular basis going forward, both at the national level and in selected states, and also expect to make these results public. We welcome competition. Those dissatisfied with the results we present here are free to conduct their own polls. The more data the better. As the words from the Bible carved on the walls in the CIA lobby say: “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Key findings from the poll include:

– As the number of Republicans who describe themselves as ‘very favorable’ to Donald Trump has declined by 19 points since last October, with voters citing Trump’s personality as the reason for the decline.

– 50% of Republican primary voters indicated Trump opposing a candidate makes no difference to them while 26% said they would be more likely to vote against a candidate Trump opposes. 24% said they would be more likely to vote for a candidate Trump opposes – a margin of just 2 points.

– By a margin of 89% to 8% Republican primary voters said a candidate’s stand on issues matters more than a candidate’s loyalty to Donald Trump.

– 64% of the Republican primary voters who said they liked Trump’s policies but not his personality would vote for a candidate other than Trump in the 2024 presidential primary. Even among voters who ‘Like Both Trump’s Policy and Personality,’ almost one-third do not vote for Trump.

These findings are based on a nationally representative survey conducted by political veteran Carter Wrenn, president, PEM Management Corporation, Raleigh, North Carolina, on behalf of John Bolton Super PAC, of 1,000 of likely midterm general election voters, with an oversample of Republican voters. The survey of general election voters has a margin of error of +/- 3.1% at a 95% confidence interval. The survey of 600 Likely Republican general election voters has a margin of error of +/- 4.0% at a 95% confidence interval.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Ambassador John Bolton announced today that he is endorsing Matt Jacobs for Congress (CA-26) and that the John Bolton PAC will donate $5,000 to his campaign.

Ambassador Bolton is committed to supporting candidates for elected office who believe in protecting the United States’ vital freedoms at home by securing American interests in a challenging world with a strong, clear and dependable national security policy resting on constancy and resolve. The John Bolton PAC will do so through contributions in primary and general election contests.

On the Midterm Election: “This midterm election will be a referendum on Joe Biden’s disastrous national security policies. It’s the first opportunity for voters to respond to Biden’s disastrous retreat in Afghanistan and his embarrassing failure to deter Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. I believe everyday Americans have a better sense of our security needs and this election will prove it.”

Statement from Matt Jacobs: “Ambassador John Bolton has long been a champion of American strength and leadership on the world stage. The Biden Administration’s abject failures in Afghanistan and Eastern Europe have weakened America and strengthened our foes. I’m honored to have the support of Ambassador Bolton, who understands the many security threats facing our nation and how we must deal with them.”

Through his PAC, SuperPAC and Foundation, Ambassador John Bolton defends America by raising the importance of national security in public discourse and supporting candidates who believe in strong national security policies.

STATEMENT OF JOHN R. BOLTON

During the present impeachment controversy, I have tried to meet my obligations both as a citizen and as former National Security Advisor. My colleague, Dr. Charles Kupperman, faced with a House committee subpoena on the one hand, and a Presidential directive not to testify on the other, sought final resolution of this Constitutional conflict from the Federal judiciary. After my counsel informed the House committee that I too would seek judicial resolution of these Constitutional issues, the committee chose not to subpoena me. Nevertheless, I publicly resolved to be guided by the outcome of Dr. Kupperman’s case.

But both the President and the House of Representatives opposed his effort on jurisdictional grounds, and each other on the merits. The House committee went so far as to withdraw its subpoena to Dr. Kupperman in a deliberate attempt to moot the case and deprive the court of jurisdiction. Judge Richard Leon, in a carefully reasoned opinion on December 30, held Dr. Kupperman’s case to be moot, and therefore did not reach the separation-of-powers issues.

The House has concluded its Constitutional responsibility by adopting Articles of Impeachment related to the Ukraine matter. It now falls to the Senate to fulfill its Constitutional obligation to try impeachments, and it does not appear possible that a final judicial resolution of the still-unanswered Constitutional questions can be obtained before the Senate acts.

Accordingly, since my testimony is once again at issue, I have had to resolve the serious competing issues as best I could, based on careful consideration and study. I have concluded that, if the Senate issues a subpoena for my testimony, I am prepared to testify.
