Trump Wins Every Demographic, Including Beating Cruz by 12% for "very conservative" voters

CNN Exit Polls ^ | 02/09/2016 | CNN

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

See link for breakdown. Trump dominates everything. Men, women, young, old, graduates, non-graduates, moderates, conservatives, very conservatives. There is not a single category he did not dominate. Trump's huge leads among very conservative and conservative are also very interesting:

For just Conservative: Trump 36% vs Cruz 15%. For Somewhat Conservative: Trump 36% vs. Cruz 9% For Very Conservative: Trump 35% to Cruz 23%

Jeb may drop but I think he stays in until Florida since Florida is a winner take all state and Jeb was a popular governor there. Jeb might be able to get back in the game with 99 delegates. Particularly if Trump and Cruz are splitting the anti vote and Bush is the lone establishment candidate. I think that is Jeb game plan and it might work. I hope not but who knows.

Mark Levin is not evangelical....just saying

To be honest contrary to all this my way or the highway seppeku on Free Republic started by Cuzbots and now equaled by Trumpbots as well....most thinking rational folks I know would be happy with either...like I am...and think all the Fox News rejection of both and ad hominum garbage like on this forum says more about the folks talking trash than it does the nomination process or subsequent election

Any Cruz person who won’t support Trump is acting like a petulant child and the reverse is just as true too....

Either are better than any GOPe drone

Immigration and Islam....first two orders of business then we get on to the rest cause if we don’t fix those there won’t be a future with the other issues

I think Donald or Ted can do it I just think Donald’s rhetoric sounds better

The sour part for Cruzbots is Iowa gave them false hope....and I’m sorry...seriously but y’all got to wake up....pouting ain’t gonna help

If Cruz pulls a miracle and passes Trump I’ll be there for him with bells on enthusiastically

Another note is Rubio....man what a lost chance....if he had not been tone deaf and joined the Gang of Eight and touted his Latino blood solidarity garbage he’d be a toast of the town here too

People used to adore him here till that huge misstep....pretty wife too

Carson.....sorry buddy....this ain’t for u.....a good wholesome man

Christie....I wish you were better on track record...you are feisty....I like that

This should leave four or five left at most

South Carolina where a Trump is ahead now 28 points will be the end of all this......I don’t see how he’s stopped anything short of dead boy in trunk or treason

Trump didn’t do so well with batshite crazy one legged short menopausal women though. Maybe you know who can get a push poll to verify huh?

[Reaper19]

Eh, a northeast liberal won a primary in a northeast liberal state. Well done Mr Trump.

I am surprised he didn’t do as well as Romney or McCain. Being to the left of both of them you’d think NH would’ve embraced him to a larger degree.

[Daniel Ramsey]

Rubio needs to quit.

Jeb should quit but won’t, not as long as the money machine keeps on throwing cash at him, its like looking at a boat trying to pump water out of its bilge while sitting on the bays bottom.

Cruz will always be 2nd. The harder he trues to win the more votes he is losing.

[lovesdogs]

You and. me both. Hopefully Rush does a big old pivot. Heck rubiot didn’t even win the demographic of voters who would be satisfied with his nomination lol. I am in such a good mood this morning. I thought Mr Trump would win but wow those internals are way better than expected

"Is Redstate is still breathing? Any report of welfare check?"

Tedstate is frothing about Hillary winning ?!#? < / shrug >

One pictures a Tedstate diarist pecking away at a keyboard in his car while with the other hand securing the hose coming outta the exhaust pipe...

[SunkenCiv]

Rollin’.

[StAnDeliver]

"One demographic that Trump isn't winning, is the alleged conservative media class."

Why is that a surprise? Fox is in for Robot, CNN for Cankles, ABC for Cankles, MSNBC mostly for Sanders, CBS nobody watching.

Open borders, nanny state and the accompanying debt spending, the avowed destruction of the middle class; who wants them on board?

What's really fascinating is, to pay their own freight, the MSM has to give Trump free media viz the Stern Effect, yet he's giving them a fraction of his own money for campaign ad time.

That alone is worth gloating over.

I’ve lived all over the US....sorry bub, there are are more very some conservative voters in NH tHan in most states..Cruz didn’t cut it with them due to his wife, lack of non government jobs, and being a Senator, not a leader...

This interactive map shows what a Reagan sized blowout it actually was.

New Hampshire Primary Results

Even in precincts where Trump lost, in most cases it was only by a few votes.

In hindsight was it really a good idea to hook up with this genius, just asking.

"Glenn Beck questions Donald Trump's popularity"

[amihow]

Yes.Sanerd will make thing worse.

[a fool in paradise]

Bernie Sanders got far more votes than Donald Trump. Something we aren’t supposed to notice.

[StAnDeliver]

"Trump didn't do so well with batshite crazy one legged short menopausal women though."

She was busy giving a nasty concession speech.

[StAnDeliver]

"open primaries are as dumb as open borders"

In NH, declared Democrats cannot vote in the Republican primary, nor vice versa. Only "Undeclared" can choose freely, and once you choose a ballot, you are considered "Declared" for that party for future elections, unless you take steps to resume your "Undeclared" status. Less than half of NH voters are "Undeclared".

So, yeah, it's not an open primary. smh

[plewis1250]

Assurances are just that...
They carry no weight or water.

How can we possibly believe them given his history? We can’t.

[StAnDeliver]

"Bernie Sanders got far more votes than Donald Trump. Something we aren't supposed to notice."

With NH 89% reporting:

• GOP total vote: 263,035
  
• Dem total vote: 231,311

Yes, we know how conservative folks tend to be after four years of non-stop leftist indoctrination in college.

Actually, there's a very interesting trend in the poll numbers, when analyzed by age group:

Trump did BEST (of his numbers), by a small margin, in the 18-29 age group (37%), and did worst in the 65+ age group (29%).

Conversely, Bush, Christie, & Kasich (the "most" establishment candidates?) did worst in the 18-29 age group, and generally best in the 65+ age group. (Christie's best (9%) was in the 45-64 age group, one point above his 65+ result.)

I would surmise that "well off" voters who are more-or-less "comfortably set" and "comfortable" with their economic circumstance are leaning toward the establishment candidates, and looking for a "steady hand" manager type. Indeed, except for Bush's performance with the under $30k/yr group, the income numbers tend to bear this out. (Possibly Bush does well under $30k/yr group because of his name recognition and / or that group was most easily swayed by his huge ad campaign?)

Put another way, I'd say many Trump voters think questions about his ideology are secondary: They believe the system is rigged, and want someone to make drastic changes & give them a shot at working for a better life. GOPe voters tend to want more of a "manager".

"It's my economy, stupid."

Thoughts?

Independents swing the general election. His support there is very good for that case.

"Trump's huge leads among very conservative and conservative are also very interesting."

Very conservative in N.H. would be a bit to the left of Mao Zedong...!!
