Mitt Romney may have pleased Democrats and the media with his recent op-ed criticizing President Trump, but Republican voters by a better than two-to-one margin line up with the president.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 63% of Likely Republican Voters think the Republican Party should be more like Trump than like Romney. Twenty-nine percent (29%) say the GOP should be more like the party’s failed 2012 presidential candidate who is now a freshman U.S. senator from Utah. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
