CRN Poll: Trump Continues To Lead Clinton By Double Digits

CRN ^ | September 28, 2016 | Jimmy Sheridan

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump continues to garner more support from solution providers than Democratic rival Hillary Clinton has, outpacing the former secretary of sate in the latest monthly CRN survey on the presidential race.

The poll, which was taken by 208 solution providers from Sept. 6-26, revealed that 52 percent of those surveyed believe a Trump presidency would be better for business, a slight decline from the results of a similar poll in August, when 54 percent of participants chose Trump. The latest poll closed before Trump and Clinton faced off Monday night in their first debate of the campaign.

Comparatively, 38 percent of channel companies said a Clinton administration would be better for business, a slight rise from the 36 percent of the August poll participants who felt that way.

This month’s 14-point gap between the New-York businessman and Clinton falls in line with average poll results reaching back to April. Since then, Trump has held an average lead of 14.3 percent over Clinton every month, which includes a tie between the two candidates in July.

Bob Gold, a sales account executive at El Segundo, Calif-based PCM, No. 28 on CRN’s Solution Provider 500 list, believes Trump would be better for business because of the candidate’s business background.

“Trump is a more experienced businessman and he understands how business is done better than his opponent,” Gold said.

Trump speaks often about helping U.S.-based businesses over those based overseas, which Gold said is another reason he believes a Trump presidency would be better for business.

“But, every other part of him besides that, I feel he is a loose cannon,” he added, noting that although he feels that Trump might be better for business, he is leaning toward voting for Clinton.

Meanwhile, Karl Rexer, founder and president of Boston-based Rexer Analytics, said Trump’s focus on turning away from international trade is one of the reasons he believes a Clinton presidency will be better for business.

“I think the ideas Trump has would not be helpful for business … his opinions on trade and his bombastic negotiating style makes me feel like Trump is putting up walls, which will make it difficult for small and medium businesses to do business overseas,” he said.

Although Clinton has not put forth a specific plan that makes Rexer believe her presidency would benefit business, he said he feels a Trump presidency would be disastrous for his company, which has clients in the U.K. and Germany, and has even worked with companies in China.

“I hate the feeling that I am making a defensive vote, but I really dislike Trump a lot,” he said.

In a separate poll conducted by CRN, 64 percent of participants said they believed Clinton won Monday's debate, a number overwhelmingly larger than the 29 percent who believed Trump won and the 7 percent who said there was no winner.

former secretary of sate?.....................

[alloysteel]

What I would like to see are the internal polling numbers the Democrats are finding. Those, however, are more securely concealed than the texts of the speeches that Herself was supposed to have given to the major banking groups and to various foreign representatives.

Is it true Herself has given up Ohio? Gotta hurt....

““I hate the feeling that I am making a defensive vote, but I really dislike Trump a lot,” he said”

Well I dislike this ahole a lot and I barely even know him.

[usafa92]

Does this CRN poll have any predictive ability to actual election results? I’m sure it generally slants Republican.

[2ndDivisionVet]

And Iowa. Soon they’ll give up on Florida, Michigan, Maine, New Hampshire and Nevada.

[NYC-RepublicanCT]

NO way she’s given up on OH.... I’ve heard that and I’ve called BS every time! She’s well within the MOE and has tons of cash... take it to the bank- she’ll fight till the end (and still lose)

[huckfillary]

What is the average, long-term, support for the GOP Presidential candidate in the black community? Anyone?

[2ndDivisionVet]

10% to 25% IIRC.

[Paradox]

Its not even a poll of the general electorate, just of Solution Providers. 200 some odd, MOE must be huge, doubt its really useful.

[Windflier]

“latest USC poll has Trump back to 17% black.”

Excellent. The donks can’t afford to lose even 5% of that demographic. Looks like they’ve lost close to 10% in that poll.

[Windflier]

“Is it true Herself has given up Ohio?”

So they say, but a federal judge just recently ruled against Ohio’s voter roll clean up program. That effort removed tens of thousands of dead and ineligble voters from the rolls.

That, plus the margin of stuffed ballot boxes, may be all they think they need to carry the state.

[Windflier]

“What is the average, long-term, support for the GOP Presidential candidate in the black community?”

In modern times it’s averaged 8% nationwide.

I know this because I’m an eight percenter.

[LS]

Oops, it’s actually . . . 18%.

[Windflier]

“Oops, it’s actually . . . 18%.”

I’ll take it!

at some point they will give up on winning anything in particular and will instead face the challenge of preventing “THE MANDATE”... to no avail.

But I think this is beginning to look like more than a win, or a landslide, or a even a mandate... I think we are headed for a slaughter.

Through a routine policy of systemic-divisive class and race warfare, America’s first black president has managed to not only marginalize and piss of the white folk... he done pissed off the black folk as well.

There is no way to recover from that... ding dong the witch is dead.

[fortheDeclaration]

Based on how she is campaigning, I would say she is giving up on all of the States!

Has anyone actually seen her lately?

[fortheDeclaration]

No, you can’t take Ohio that way.
