Just over 3 percent of those who backed Donald Trump for president now regret their vote, according to a Mood of the Nation poll from Penn State's McCourtney Institute of Democracy.

"Of the 339 poll participants who originally voted for Trump, only 12 (3½ percent) said they would do something different," Michael Berkman, director of the institute and Eric Plutzer, who directed the poll, wrote in The Washington Post.

Here are some of the reasons given by those surveyed, according to Berkman and Plutzer:

•"I don't like his decisions so far."

•"Trump's actions since the inauguration."

•"… Trump cannot get out of his own way. He won't stop running his mouth and has no humility."

But just one in four of those who expressed second-thoughts, now say they would have supported Trump's opponent, Hillary Clinton, the two political science professors said in the Post....

Pollsters don’t ask questions like that.

Wow, twelve people in a poll say they changed their minds. Cleary the election should be invalidated.

New poll finds that out of 339 people asked if they regret voting for Donald Trump, 3% are lying and saying they voted for Trump when they didn’t.

Are these the same polls that told us Hillary was going to win by a landslide. About 33% of the people who voted for Hillary now wish they would have voted for Trump. Change is bringing us hope.

3% of a poll of 339 respondents?

They failed to mention the margin of error, but with such a tiny sample it had to be more than 3%.

More so than regret, how many who didn’t vote for Trump would now?

6 percent? Maybe 7?

No margin of error, since these are the same individuals as in a previous survey. These are more likely to be (1) Hillary voters who lied to mess with the original poll, and (2) normal morning after regrets. I suspect the usual percentage with regrets is much higher than 3% even this early after an election, although I don't have data on that question.

“Just over 40 percent of those who backed Barrack Obama for president now regret their vote....”

Meaning 60% of those who voted for someone else are extremely happy to see him GONE!

Those who regret Trumps election win fail to mention or even consider that the media activated libs are doing everything within their power to defeat or minimize anything positive Trump attempts or does. Bastards all of them.

What percentage regret voting for the felon? If Trump is - 3 of his voters and he is at 50% he must have picked up about 10% of felon votes. Not bad for now.

I’m sure there is a margin of error so it’s probably close to zero
