CNN poll: 35% of Republicans and leaners want a third-party GOP candidate if Trump is the nominee

Notably similar to the exit polls conducted a week ago in Florida, Missouri, Ohio, Illinois, and North Carolina, in which 39 percent said they’d consider a third party if forced to choose between Trump and Hillary. What’s interesting about this result, from CNN’s national poll, is that Trump does very well in other metrics. At 47 percent, he’s near a majority and leads Cruz by 16 points. When Republican registered voters and leaners are asked whether they’d feel “dissatisfied” or “upset” if Trump, Cruz, or Kasich wins the nomination, Trump actually scores lowest on the combined totals for those two answers. He leads among those who say they’d be “upset,” but together with “dissatisfied” he’s at 33 percent versus 38 percent for Cruz and 46 percent for Kasich. At lot goes into that, I think — some people may be “dissatisfied” with Kasich as nominee purely because he’s an also-ran, others may be dissatisfied because he’s a centrist and not a conservative. But it’s worth noting these numbers in light of all the #NeverTrump buzz in conservative media.

I think under New York rules if Trump gets the Majority of the three he gets all 95 Votes

Like the few here promising to leave FR and all of the Democrats saying that they will move to Canada—Well, here’s your hat. What’s your hurry?
Drama queens.

I'll bet that if bernie decides to go rogue, you would see numbers like that on the dim's side too.

The outsiders are just ripping the establishment across the board.

I hope the GOPe’ers do form a third party. Trump is going to get crushed by Hillary anyway. A good old political civil war will only accelerate and solidify the extinction of the GOPe and its toady Republican Party.

IMHO ISIS won’t do anything there as long as one of their own is in the White House.

They can all just vote for Hillary. It’ll have the same effect.

Trump is the champion. Trump is the leader I trust. Every other candidate is small time compared to him.
