But Trump edges slightly ahead if the stay-at-home option is removed. Trump also now does twice as well among Democrats as Clinton does among Republicans.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Trump with 41% support to Clintons 39%. Fifteen percent (15%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
This is the first time Trump has led the matchup since last October. Clinton held a 41% to 36% advantage in early March.
Trump now has the support of 73% of Republicans, while 77% of Democrats back Clinton. But Trump picks up 15% of Democrats, while just eight percent (8%) of GOP voters prefer Clinton, given this matchup. Republicans are twice as likely to prefer another candidate.
Yo mean the Rats won’t find a way to steal it?
Could have sworn that result wasn’t possible by multiple supporters of some other candidate.
Amazing! Hillary really just isn’t all the popular. She’s sinking fast.
As many have said, the more she is seen, the less people like her.
The trend is our friend.
Trump will win the nomination and win the general electgion, unless the poisonous fruit fo this dragged out fruitless between him and that idiot Cruz ends. Crfuz might have a more accurate grasp of Constitutional niceties than Trump, but his dogged determination to assist the estblishment GOP and the tactics employed have revealed him to be shallow, craven, foolish and untrustworthy. More like his collegues in COngress than a conservative Crusader.
The poll shows that only 35% of men support Hillaey while only 38% of women support Trump. However, we never hear about Clinton’s problem with men voters.
The Bernie rallies were the clue that Hillary’s support is very weak.
He was a no-name no one had ever heard of, running to make it look like she was in a real campaign. It turns out the fake candidate is more popular than the real one.
They don’t like her. Democrats will sit this one out, and some numbers of them will actually cross over and vote Trump.
Its going to be a blow-out. They are going to have to stuff ballot boxes just to make it look closer than it really is.
So how is it 41-39 if they both get 38% support?? Do I need a degree in Common Core math or something?
Hillary is the presumptive candidate for the DEMe.
Bernie has only been a Democrat since December, and is a socialist.
Kasich is simply delusional, but splitting votes.
Cruz, once spurned by the GOPe as a TEA Party outsider and trouble-maker, seems to be the Great White Hope for the GOPe. Although that concept is slipping toward Trump, too.
Trump, who has expanded the tent for the GOP, which the purists HATE, is basically an analogue to Perot.
In 1992, Bill Clinton won with only 43%, GHWBush lost with 37.4%, and Perot got 18.9%.
We have a blend of the 1992 3rd party scenario which will be interesting at the least.
And as Trump says, "I haven't even started on Hillary yet!" Charge!
Usually the Dem. is WAY ahead of the Republican this early in the game.
Hillary is screwed.
This can’t be true. We’ve constantly been told by the GOPe and the Liberal Media that Trump win. They wouldn’t lie to us. [/sarc]
I will do what I can here in San Francisco. It ain’t easy for republicans here.
These polls are stupid.
The Biden/Warren ticket was decided on in October 2015. This little drama being played out now is meant to fool the GOP, that’s all.
This is why it will be a Sanders/Warren ticket. Which is scarey on so many levels.
59% are idiots.

Nobody’s staying home this November! This is going to be the match up of the century. A confident self-made capitalist against a carpetbagging, scheming Marxist who never achieved anything useful in her life.
