A new survey conducted by Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) and commissioned by Daily Kos and SEIU  shows 45 percent of registered voters are less likely to support Mitt Romney due to his ties with real estate magnate and reality television star Donald Trump.

Forty-four percent said the issue will not affect their vote, while only 9 percent said Romney's association with Trump makes them more likely to vote for the Republican nominee.
