Washington, (IINA) - US Republican Presidential Hopeful Donald Trump remains the Republican frontrunner, but half of American voters say they would feel "embarrassed" to have Trump as the country's president, NBC News reported citing a new Quinnipiac poll.
The survey showed that 28 percent of Republicans back Trump as the party's nominee, with Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who sent a letter to Washington requesting the closure of the Palestinian Liberation Organization’s office in the US, closely behind at 24 percent.
However, when voters were asked whether they would be proud or embarrassed if Trump is elected, fully 50 percent of all registered voters suggested that they would feel ashamed. That includes 20 percent of Republicans, 47 percent of independents and 82 percent of Democrats.
A mere 23 percent of voters responded that they would feel proud to have Trump as the country's leader.
When the same question was asked about Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, 33 percent said they would feel proud, 35 percent said they would feel embarrassed, and 29 percent said that neither sentiment would apply.
The Quinnipiac poll was conducted between December 16 and 20, and has a margin of error for all registered voters of +/- 2.9 percentage points.
