If Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination, things might not be looking so bad for Democrats. A new Quinnipiac University poll out Wednesday reveals that while The Donald still leads his party primaries in the battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida, he doesn't fare nearly as well against Democrats in hypothetical match ups. Against all three Democrats that Quinnipiac tested — Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Joe Biden, who has not announced a presidential run — Trump loses in a hypothetical general election face-off.
"Trump, despite his strong showing in mock Republican primaries, fares worst among the GOP candidates matched against the three Democratic aspirants — giving some credence to pundits who say the billionaire could be every Democrats' favorite GOP nominee," Quinnipiac assistant director Peter Brown said in a statement. Against Clinton, Trump loses 46 percent to 41 percent in Florida, 43 percent to 42 percent in Ohio, and 44 percent to 42 percent in Pennsylvania.
And those are Trump's closest margins against the Democrats. In a match up with Biden, Trump loses 46-42 in Florida, 46-37 in Ohio, and 45-42 in Pennsylvania. Sanders beats out Trump by five percentage points in Florida and Pennsylvania and by three percentage points in Ohio.
The survey's margin of error in Florida and Ohio is plus or minus 2.9 percentage points. In Pennsylvania, it's plus or minus three percentage points.
I think when Trump begins to focus on attacking Democrats you'll see those polls move like they did with Republican voters. Remember when 67% of the Republican voters saw Trump unfavorably? You will see.
Democrats won't even know what hit them when Trump goes 1 on 1 with them... Much like the blows Establishment Republicans are taking from him.
I'm going to laugh so hard when Trump pulls out of the race.
How about this. If Trump gets the nomination, I'll vote for him. I'll take a picture of my 2016 presidential ballot with his hole punched before I turn it in and post the pic here. If Trump doesn't get the nomination (or pulls out of the race), you vote for the Democtrat nominee and post a pic.
Deal?
