Poll: Nearly 20 Percent of Democrats Would Vote for Trump Over Hillary January 10, 2016
Nearly 20 percent of Democrats would leave the party and vote for Republican Donald Trump in a match-up against Hillary Clinton, according to a new poll.
The survey of 916 likely voters by the Mercury Analytics research firm in Washington found that only 14 percent of Republicans would cross party lines and vote for Clinton.
“The challenge to Hillary — if Trump is the nominee and pivots to the center in the general election as a problem-solving, independent minded, successful ‘get it done’ businessman — is that Democrats will no longer be able to count on his personality and outrageous soundbites to disqualify him in the voters’ minds,” said Ron Howard, Mercury Analytics CEO.
