Republican have not forgotten about Sen. Mitt Romney’s recent decision to vote in favor of an impeachment count brought against President Trump by House Democrats.
“Many Republicans were furious at Romney, and a sizable number of GOP voters are ready to throw him out of the party,” says a new Rasmusssen Reports poll.
It found that two-thirds of all likely GOP voters — 64% — now have an unfavorable view of the Utah lawmaker, up from 47% last fall. Perhaps more significantly, 39% of the Republican voters think Mr. Romney should be expelled from the Republican Party. Among those who strongly approve of Mr. Trump, 50% say he should leave the GOP fold.
Some pf the Republican voters disagree: 43% don’t think an exit is warranted, while 18% are undecided.
In the meantime, Mr. Romney’s favorability has rocketed upwards in another sector.
“Democrats have a new respect for Romney. Sixty percent now regard him favorably, up from 47% last fall,” the poll said.
“Seventy-two percent of self-identified liberals and 53% of moderates view Romney favorably, compared to 31% of conservatives,” the survey said.
The poll of 1,000 likely voters was conducted Feb. 6-9.

Some men when offered great opportunity rise to the occasion to become greater than themselves and what they were. Revengeful Romney could only fall into and surrender to the least common denominator of his personal envy, and animal urge for revenge.
Romney voting to remove Trump is akin to John McCain voting to keep Obamacare. It was a despicable act of cowardice and hypocrisy, based not on what’s best for the country, but on a fixated hatred of Trump personally. It’s an act of petty revenge, well below the station of the “honorable” members of the Senate.
Romney is a liar and a traitor. Not only do I want him removed from the GOP, but I want him removed from office.
He’s a stubbornly bitter little man, growing smaller ever day, by following in McCain’s footsteps.
Good bye sweet Romney, its time to go….
IMO 39% is WAY too low.. WAY off.. I was shocked it wasn’t more like 65% or more.
Not a bit concerned about his winning favor with the Socialists, that ship has sailed, but rather concerned about the need of his votes for judicial nominees. That said, he recently voted against a district court judge in the state of Texas, which would have been great for the state, for all of us.
It appears he has become the new John McCain. In the place of being eager to help states and choosing rightly the judges who would help our states, if he has a miff against the president, then he votes to antagonize the president while thumbing his nose at the voters. It is despicable to use his vote and vote against judges who would help the nation, because he has some axe to grind with the president.
He’s long been Mccain Lite. BUT since Mccain’s passing, he’s felt ok to come out of the closet.
Mr Romney has shown himself an opportunistic little ankle biter sense before the 2016 elections. At best I would classify him as a moderate democrat like McCain.
He deserves nothing less than total humiliation.
