Poll: Voters Split Between Clinton and Trump in Hypothetical November Matchup

NBC ^ | 4/12/2016 | Hannah Hartig and Stephanie Psyllos

[GilGil]

When asked about Trump as the GOP nominee in November instead of Cruz, registered voters are split between Clinton and Trump, though the race is tighter: Thirty-eight percent would vote for Clinton and 36 percent would vote for Trump. Another 16 percent would vote for a third party candidate and 8 percent would abstain from voting.

I dont think she would get even half of the dem male vote. The thought of listening to that screeching, shrill voice for four years will drive any self respecting man to vote for Satan himself before that woman.

[ripnbang]

However, Cruz sided with the anti free speech BLM movement after the Chicago protests to score political points.

[pfflier]

I agree that Trump can also be seen as a third party within the republican party. One of my forecasts for this election has been, this could wind up as a 4-way race with two independents:

Establishment republican-Trump-Hildabeast-Sanders.

Wouldn't that cause an interesting split in the votes? In that case I think the hildabeast would win because Trump would tear off more votes from (Romney) than sanders would from the hildabeast. She would have the plurality.

If the republicans consolidate behind Trump (or Cruz) they win because of the sanders peel-off.

If the media claims that Billary will win, then you know they are getting very desperate.

[dp0622]

Let’s slow down on that. I was thrilled until I read that a third party was a choice.

How does it break down without third party.

It’s gonna be a hard fight so let’s not get overconfident.

They should have said more about how many dems and how many reubs would go third party.

But it is heartening news.

[TonyM]

Any poll this early is rediculous.

[SunkenCiv]

It's not an *even* split of course...

Same here in PA. A large number of the working class folks are for Trump.

The republican party could win big if they could just see that.

[BagCamAddict]

Today on Fox, they showed a poll of Sanders people (FINALLY), who said that if Sanders isn’t the Dem nominee, 37% of them would not vote for Hillary in November, because they are #NeverHillary. They interviewed one Sanders guy who had voted for Obama, and asked what people would do... He said some would stay home, others would vote for a Republican, if it was the right candidate.

Of the Republican candidates, which one are disenfranchised Sanders most likely to support against Hillary? Not a tough call.

How Trump improves his ratings with Gen Pop between now and November:

[MIA_eccl1212]

What it looks like?
It will look like skid marks in Teddy’s dirty underpants.... That’s what.

[pfflier]

That 37% closely mirrors the republicans that say they wouldn't vote for Trump. If they would consider what is best for the country Trump could win in a landslide (even though the mantra is that he is unelectable).

There is a possibility for three justices to be appointed in the next president's first term. Think of the supreme court composition for the rest of our lifetimes if the hildabeast gets elected.

[Parley Baer]

No doubt in my mind that Trump will take it to Hillary come November. GO TRUMP GO

[GOPJ]

Split... Split? That close? WOW!

And that considering Hillary's getting amazingly positive press for someone who's under investigation by the FBI...

AND under the circumstances that every elite in the county - Democrats, Republican and the MSM trash Trump EVERY SINGLE DAY.... EVERY FIGGIN' HOUR...

And Trump's STILL UP THERE NECK AND NECK WITH HILLARY?

Amazing... Trump's gonna win this one...
