The majority of Democratic respondents at 61% and 31% of Republican respondents said that Trump returning to host “The Apprentice“ franchise was a bad idea. Republican men were more likely to favor the idea of the show’s revitalization as were individuals with Bachelor’s degrees and post-graduate education, according to the poll.
Hispanic Americans were more likely to think it was a good idea to bring the show back than both white and black Americans. Those who favored Trump’s job performance as president were also more likely to have a positive view of rebooting the series.
