The survey, which took place from February 28 to March 20, involved over 5,000 adults across all 50 states and has a margin of error of 1.69 points.<\/p>\n<p>The findings align with a University of Massachusetts Amherst poll, which indicated that only 2% of Trump supporters regretted their vote. Despite the media&#8217;s portrayal of voter dissatisfaction, the data contradicts this narrative. Some commentators have attempted to highlight anecdotal evidence of regret,but the overwhelming majority of Trump voters remain content,suggesting that the media&#8217;s claims do not reflect the reality of public sentiment among these voters.
