For a little context, keep in mind that in 2012, Obama beat Romney by 28.2% in New York, and in 2008, Obama beat McCain by 27.9%

In essence, this poll is saying that Trump actually betters Romney and McCain's efforts by ~10%.

If that is true, and if it generally carried nationwide, We'd be looking at Trump taking all of Romney's states from 2012, plus Iowa, Colorado, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, New Hampshire, Florida, and Nevada in November. It would be a blowout for Trump.

Thanks for looking up the relevant data.

That’s what I’m thinking.

17 points isn’t that hard to overcome, especially when he’s from there.

That will make a boatload of states easy pickups.

Talk about living in a fantasy world. Because Trump does a little bit better in his HOME STATE against a very weak Dem candidate than the last 2 GOP presidents did in a state that was NOT their home state against a STRONGER Dem candidate, you somehow think he could translate that advantage across the country? I think we are being a bit delusional.
