Poll: Majority of Republicans Prefer Someone Else to Trump

[TheDemSocialist]

Just 45 percent of Republican voters say they are satisfied with Donald Trump as their party's presumptive presidential nominee, while 52 percent say they would have preferred someone else, according to results from the latest national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.By comparison, the numbers are reversed for Hillary Clinton among Democrats - 52 percent of Democratic voters are satisfied with Clinton, and 45 percent prefer someone else.


GOP attitudes about Trump break along ideological and educational lines. By a 53 percent-to-45 percent margin, conservative Republicans say they prefer a different nominee to Trump, while moderates are split 49 percent to 49 percent.
Maybe more tellingly, 58 percent of Republicans with a high-school education or less are satisfied with Trump as the party's presumptive nominee, versus 60 percent of Republicans with a college degree who want someone else.

Welp... It may be too late or is the time right for a "coup" against Donald?

Or another way of looking at this poll:

"Majority of Dem. voters satisfied with continuing the status quo. 'We want more of the same stuff that got in the mess we're in.'"

It's all in how you present the data...

Then they should have gotten off of their lazy asses and voted for someone other than Trump in the primary election like I did.

They should read the first part of my signature below.

They did, look at the survey 45% are satisfied with Trump and Trump got 44.9% of the vote in the primaries.

 

[mak2]

Wow, 45% of the Repubs are satisfied with Trump? For some reason I find that surprising. But I guess Fox News is no the Trump train now days.

Clearly, this shows that Republican voters are more discerning and intelligent than Democrat voters.

So slightly less than half the dem voters would have preferred someone other than Hilary?

Can't say as I blame them.

The Republicans have mishandled this whole thing since 2012. They should have read their own report and started the process of organizing their platform around that.

Had the Republican platform, since 2012, actually been about a vision other than stop Obama, they would likely have a real candidate and a real chance in 2016. But no, instead of articulating a positive vision for the future, they wasted the last four years fueling the flames of anger and hate.

No, they just could not control themselves so now they are stuck with the monster they created: Frankentrump,.

And nominated a birther.

They are both the worst candidates to ever run for the office.
Sad, sad state of affairs.

 

[mak2]

Yea, I this point we have the two worse candidates, cruz would have been a close 3rd, that we could possibly have. Oh well, I am sure the country has survived worse.

Perhaps I should have put a smiley face on my comment so people wouldn't take it too seriously.

Personally, I think anyone who's satisfied with either of these candidates is certifiable.

Yeah I'm sure it wont be as bad as the civil war. Well I hope it wont be.

The only thing the Republicans did wrong, in my opinion, is have party rules in place that allow anyone breathing to walk off the street and qualify for your party's Presidential nominee. How is that possible? Here, in order to run for any office, you have to be a card carrying party member, have a significant number of party members support your entering the race, and put up significant dollars to be on the ballot. Seems in the US you can just walk in front of a microphone and declare you're in and the party can't do anything about it.

Maybe, but had they (the Republicans) done what I suggested (and they suggested, as it was their analysis), the electorate never would have tolerated Trump and he never would have come this far. The Republicans cultivated the garden that nurtured the weed Trump. (first he is a monster and now he is a weed.... they are both appropriately illustrative, however).

Let me be more direct: the Republican party mismanaged their message.

Except Trump had all that. And no to your last sentence - entirely wrong. I bolded the part where you seem to believe that only the very rich can ever run for our highest office.

I don't agree with that at all. What message did the Republicans mismanage?

If I'm wrong, I'll accept the rebuke - however, what are the requirements for getting on the primary list?

Yep. The GOP has allowed and even fanned the fringe elements in the Republican Party. Including Trump's brither BS in 2012. The GOP saw the fringe and Trump as 'allies', as anti-Obama. And anything, or anyone anti-Obama was good in their eyes. Well now that fringe, and those 'allies' have come back to bite the GOP right in the ass.

They help build the monster called Trump, now that monster has turned on them.

Okay, that made me laugh - - primarily because it seems to be true.

Funny thing is that many of the Conservatives/Republicans who say the Republican voters are smarter, are also rabidly anti-Trump. They hate Trump's guts.

So I'm not sure how anyone who is anti-Trump can then say Republican voters are 'smarter'. After-all Republican voters have made the man their nominee.

Well, no. But thank you for parroting the liberal talking points on this. Let me help you out here. Trump won the nomination because he had the winning message. Unthinking liberal believe Trump won because of his supposed race baiting and crude remarks. The truth is he won in spite of those things. He tapped into the same discontent that Ross Perot did, and that Sanders did. Trump is struggling because the guy has no filter. If he were capable of showing an even modest degree of decorum and maturity he would be leading Clinton 60-40. Because he isn't able to behave in a manner that is even remotely presidential is why his support is slipping even among those who used to support him. In short, people like the idea of Trump. The reality of Trump is what is sinking his ship.

I think there's a lot of buyer's remorse now that Trump is the nominee and he hasn't upped his game.
