A poll of Michigan Republicans contained some devastating news for the GOP. If Donald Trump is the Republican nominee, 9% of Republican voters will vote for Hillary Clinton in November.
According to the new Monmouth University Poll, If Trump emerges as the GOP nominee, 7-in-10 Michigan Republican primary voters (71%) say they would get behind him in a general election against Hillary Clinton. However, 9% would actually vote for Clinton. While the following responses were not offered in the poll question itself, 4% volunteer that they would vote 3rd party, 9% say they would not vote at all, and 7% are not sure what they would do.
There isnt a single state that President Obama carried in 2012 that Donald Trump will be able to flip to the Republican column in 2016. The idea that Trump is any way electable is a myth that is being pushed by the mainstream press and Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton is getting more than Trump. Most of the increase in Republican turnout is coming from Republicans who are trying to stop Trump from winning his partys nomination.
Contrary to what he states during his speeches, Donald Trump is not a uniter who will bring the Republican Party together. The truth is that Trump could push somewhere in the neighborhood of 10% of Republicans to cross over and vote for Hillary Clinton. A Trump nomination will cause many other Republican voters to stay home.

(42,552 posts)She's been on the receiving end of so much GOP crap for decades, and now a significant number of them would rather vote for her than their own nominee? LOL.

(23,651 posts)I just don't think rational people will vote for either a Trump or Cruz ballot. This pretty much matches the Quinnipiac National poll I posted yesterday that showed 8% of Republicans and 31% of independents have a favorable opinion of Hillary. Come election day if Trump or Cruz are the candidate, they'll either vote for HRC or not vote. (I hope)
