The number of Republicans who think granting additional powers to the president would be 'too risky' has taken a steep dive since last year.
President Donald Trump speaks to members of the press before departing from the White House en route to Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas on August 7, 2019 in Washington, DC.While Americans overall still believe it would be"too risky" to bestow additional powers on the presidency, the share of Republicans who support greater presidential authority has surged in the last year, according to a new survey from the Pew Research Center.
The decline is largely owed to the number of Republicans who have come around to the idea of imbuing the presidency with greater authority. Barely a majority of Republicans—at 51 percent—now believe this would be too risky, a steep fall since last year when 70 percent of Republicans thought the same thing.
Democrats, on the other hand, have remained relatively consistent in their beliefs about presidential authority during the Trump administration. Eighty-seven percent thought an expansion of presidential powers would be too risky in 2017, and two years later that number has budged slightly to 82 percent.
