Hillary Clinton

I know this is almost a month old, but it's still worth revisiting. Trump needs nearly the entire GOP vote and a big turnout on the Republican side if he's going to win in November. If he gets the 60-80% this poll indicates, it ain't happening.
"Bombshell Poll: Nearly 20% Of Republicans Will Vote For Hillary Clinton If Trump Wins "
"The poll contained some numbers that should terrify Republicans. 40% of Republicans polled said that they would not support the partys nominee if Donald Trump wins. 25% of the anti-Trump Republican vote would consider voting for a third party candidate. 19% of the never Trump Republicans would vote for Hillary Clinton, and 18% would stay home and not vote at all."

For comparison, the percentage of Clinton/Sanders voters polled who would stay home or vote Trump if Hillary is the nominee was 9%.

(44,173 posts)People tell pollsters all kinds of things in the spring and summer, so expect that number to whittle down to 8-10% by Fall.

(25,505 posts)At the time, Kasich, Cruz, and Trump were all still in the race, so those were the three options on the right.
When supporters of all three were asked, 11% would vote for Clinton.
Of the ones not supporting Trump (40%), 19% of those said they would vote Clinton.
There's a lot of data - I had no idea that they asked so many questions.
