Sorta. Conservatives are split, with some supporting, some not supporting, but voting for in order to oppose Hillary, and some opposing.
Among Self-Identified Conservatives:
Astonishingly, 21% already say that they plan to vote for Hillary.
That's laughable. The GOP Establishment has completely bent over to Trump and helped his campaign squash conservative revolt. The person that the GOP establishment hated isn't Trump, it's Cruz (whom they hate, hate, hate).
Trump is nothing like Reagan. He's not a brilliant businessman (in fact, he seems to suck at it, as he has significantly underperformed both the Real Estate Market and even the S&P 500), his economic ideas are a refutation of Reagans (as they were then), and Trump has no clue how to go about destroying Islamist terrorism.
21% of Conservatives voting for Hillary? I doubt it. The part you left out is a larger % of Bernie supporters say they are voting for Trump and 20% on top of that say they are staying home.
Trump has a lot of cross over appeal, Hillary has none. Trump has a lot of charisma, Hillary has none. Trump fills sports arenas, Hillary had half the seats empty in High School size gyms.
Trump turning the GOP into a more Libertarian party is the best thing that could ever happen to that organization.
Trump has had over 550 business ventures less than a half dozen of them could ever be construed as failures. With that level of success he is not just a Brilliant Businessman but arguably the greatest Businessman alive today.
Foreign affairs are a mess today because Obama and Hillary put their own Political best interest above the best interest of America. Trump has already made it clear that he will put America first.
