A new poll out today from TDC/ Opinion research shows presidential candidate Donald Trump leading by a whopping 70 points among people who are severely intellectually disabled.
According to the first-of-its-kind survey Hillary Clinton comes in second with 12%, Libertarian Gary Johnson garners 4%, while 8% of respondents simply wrote in the word "poop".
"Trump build wall. Wall stop bad people," says Jason Anderson, a 32-year-old resident of Clara Vista Mental Hospital, who responded to the survey last week.
"Bad people come from under America. Wall stop bad people. Trump stop bad people"
Other respondents told pollsters that their support for Trump was motivated by their intense dislike of Clinton.
"Hillary look like nurse. I hate nurse," says Jennifer Foley, a patient at Bellevue Mental Hospital in New York City.
Approximately 1 to 3 percent of Americans are intellectually disabled, which is defined as having an IQ lower than 70. Although they have historically been swing voters, it appears Trump's appeal to base instincts has resonated with this population.
