Poll: Hefty Slice Of Virginia’s GOP Will Bolt If Trump Is Nominee
By Laura Vozzella April 7
RICHMOND — Nearly a third of Virginia Republicans will vote for Hillary Clinton, pick a third-party candidate or sit out the election if Donald Trump is the GOP’s nominee for president, a new poll finds.
Democrats in the key swing state are far less likely to defect if Clinton is the nominee, with just 9 percent saying they would vote for someone else or stay home on Election Day, according to a Christopher Newport University survey released Thursday.
Trump’s “loyalty gap,” as CNU researchers dubbed it, could cost the celebrity developer the race in Virginia, where the survey finds the former secretary of state leads Trump 44 percent to 35 percent.
The poll, conducted CNU’s Wason Center for Public Policy, comes just two days after Republicans and Democrats alike expressed dissatisfaction with their parties’ respective front runners by handing Wisconsin primary victories to Republican Ted Cruz and Democrat Bernie Sanders.
The CNU poll was designed to see how that intraparty angst would play out in Virginia if Trump and Clinton ultimately face off in the general election.
“We found a real loyalty gap,” Quentin Kidd, director of the Wason Center, said in a written statement. “If Donald Trump turns out to be the Republican nominee, it’s clear that a very significant proportion of Republican voters will either defect or stay home. But it looks like most Democrats — even those who backed Bernie Sanders in the March primary — would support Clinton.”

Traitors. Scum-sucking swine.
Regardless of candidate, anyone who waits at home and does not vote against Hillary or Bernie are traitors to the conservative cause. Period.
How DARE they! All must pledge fealty to Landslide Donald, because he has won 37% of the vote.
Anyone who would vote for a dhimmicrat for any reason should be forever shunned and held in contempt.
What are your voting plans BTW?
Cruzbots are utter morons helping the GOPe and Hillary.
Seem to be quite a few Republicans intent on subverting the will of the electorate and destroying the party.
Let me guess, they all live in the area around DC.
Virginia is a southern state.
Well, maybe so, but Trump “hasn’t even started on Virginia” yet!
I think they’ll be leaving whether they want to or not after Trump tells them “You’re Fired!”
BS
Push Poll...
I ain’t a Trump supporter, yet. But, if push comes to shove, I’ll pull that lever...
The Globalist/Open Borders crowd must get their candidate, be it Cruz or any Dem, in at all cost. The entire corrupt oligarchy will fall with a Trump presidency. Every Washington insider stands to lose his vig entirely, and that’s just for STARTERS.
What in the world would you expect if Cruz manipulates the delegates to win the nomination after winning less than 1/3rd of the states. Gee, ya think that might cause some people to stay home?
‘Sucks to be the stupid party.’
Seems to be no shortage of anti-Trump posts today on FR.
I’m sure it has nothing to do with visuals of the Trump and Cruz rallys yesterday. ...I’m...pretty sure....I think....
If Cruz does get the nomination, I can’t wait for the Cruz “unity” speech.
I said it before. Regardless of candidate, anyone who waits at home and does not vote against Hilary or Bernie, deserves to be called a traitor the conservative cause and should be banished for life if Hillary or Bernie gets to the White House. It is still so sad that “conservative” Evangelicals stayed at home in droves and failed to come out and vote for Romney.
Worth repeating.
Yes they will indeed. At least the ones right by DC who have their mouths firmly clamped on the government uniparty nipple.
Trump doesn't strike me as a Hindenburg.
Bunch of friken idiots if they think the country will survive another communist in the White House. Effing traitors.
