According to a new poll from Democratic-leaning firm Public Policy Polling, voters find President Trump scarier than ghosts, vampires, and zombies.

The survey released on the day of Halloween asks voters to measure Trump’s spookiness “against a litany of Halloween-related things.”

Forty-nine percent (49%) of voters say Trump is scarier than ghosts compared to 40 percent who say the opposite. Voters also find Trump more terrifying than vampires, mummies, witches, zombies, and werewolves by similar margins.

Trump is only bested by the devil. Fifty-one percent (51%) say Satan is scarier than the President. Thirty-one percent (36%) percent disagree.

On the issue of costumes, a majority of voters (48%) agree that it’s appropriate to dress up as someone from a different racial background, while 26 percent think the opposite.

Trump voters are more likely to think it’s acceptable, with 58 percent who say there’s no issue with it and just 18 percent who disagree.

Clinton voters are evenly divided on the issue with 36 percent who say it’s appropriate and 36 percent who think it's politically incorrect.  

The Public Policy Polling survey also asked if voters have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of pumpkin spice lattes.

Most agree (49%) that pumpkin spice lattes don’t live up to the hype of the season, compared to 25 percent who favor the fall drink.  

The poll of 572 registered voters was conducted from October 27 to 29 and has a margin sampling error of 4.1 percentage points.
