'How many Americans think they could beat Donald Trump in a fight?' [View all]

"This week, at a White House event about physical fitness, Donald Trump asked a boy, 'You think you could take me in a fight?' "

"We at YouGov thought that was a striking question, and promptly asked 2,609 Americans whether they thought an eight-year-old boy, a typical American, and themselves could win a physical fight with Trump."

"66% of U.S. adults say an average American would beat Trump, while 10% say Trump would win."

"On all three questions, Democrats are far less likely than Republicans to say Trump would win. For example, almost all Democrats say they could win a fight with Trump (75%, while only 5% say Trump would win), but Republicans are slightly more likely to say they'd lose than win (33% vs. 39%)."

"Democrats are more likely to say an eight-year-old boy could beat Trump than Republicans are to think they could beat Trump (54% vs. 33%)."
