USA TODAY Poll: Americans see Brexit Anger As a Global Trend

This is good news for Donald Trump and very bad news for Hillary Clinton who along with Obama, campaigned for “Remain.” USA Today reports:

The Brexit earthquake isn’t just British.

Americans by an overwhelming 4-1 margin agree that the United Kingdom’s vote to leave theEuropean Union was a sign of anger and dissatisfaction that can be seen in other countries, including the United States, according to a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll. Just 16% call it an isolated referendum.

“I think it is an indication of a broader feeling among people around the world, where they are feeling more and more helpless about controlling things in their own countries,” says Sandra Lueder, 68, of Cheshire, Conn., who plans to vote for Republican Donald Trump. She was among those surveyed. “I do happen to believe the refugee crisis and immigration were important components of things that people were unhappy about.”

“It shows that there are people that are definitely not coming up with others, people that feel like they are being left behind,” says Stephanie Weber, 46, of Gravel Switch, Ky., who supports Democrat Hillary Clinton. Those are concerns she sees at home. “I know that the similarity, the anger at government in general is similar.”

The nationwide poll of 1,000 likely voters, taken Sunday through Wednesday by landline and cellphone, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

In the United States, a consensus that last week’s Brexit vote reflects global trends crosses party lines: 75% of Republicans, 72% of independents and 59% of Democrats agree.

When it comes to which party the vote might benefit in the presidential race, though, both sides are inclined to see more upside than downside for the candidate they support. Clinton backers by 26%-13% predict the Brexit outcome will hurt Trump, not help him. The biggest group, 40%, don’t see an effect on the U.S. election.

But Trump supporters tend to say it will help their candidate: 37% see it as a benefit while just 5% think it will hurt him. One in three, 34%, say it won’t make a difference one way or the other.
