Brace yourself. The truth is that Trump has the support of many Blue Dog Democrats.
Great, he'll need all the votes he can get.
"A new CNN poll released Thursday, taken before the spat with rival Ted Cruz over his wife, found that 73 percent of registered female voters in the United States had an unfavorable view of Trump. That’s in line with a Reuters poll from last week that found more than half of American women hold a “very unfavorable” view of the billionaire.
“That gives him a huge number of voters he has to make up from somewhere,” said American University political science professor Karen O’Connor. “And I don’t know where they will come from.”
Opposition to Trump among women also extends to the GOP. A recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll found that 47 percent of Republican women could not see themselves supporting Trump, a number significantly higher than for any other GOP candidate."
Trump faces daunting gender gap
Kind of makes one question exactly who all these folks were that voted for Trump in all the state primaries he has won so far if no one is voting for him.
He had 30-40% support from Republican voters.
That means 70-60% don't support him. It's pretty simple.
Most of the reports I read stated that Trump also garnered support from many Democrat and Independent voters as well. These also stated that Trump garnered support all across the spectrum from the lesser educated voter to the higher educated voter. I guess it all depends upon who penned which report. If Trump leads the polls in a particular state by 50 %, that hardly equates to 60% disapproving now does it? Yes the math is simple. If Trump garners 40% of the registered Republican voters and garners 10% of those who were registered Democrat voters and another 10% of registered Independent voters, then I would submit the simple math that would indicate that he garners 60% of the overall vote.
Dude, the math is simple.
35% are Republicans. 40% x 35% = 14%
65% x 10% = 6.5%
14% + 6.5% = 20.5%
So even if your math is correct, that means 20% of Americans are voting for Trump and 80% are not.
And Trump's voters are about 60% male. So that means about 85% of females are not voting for Trump.
So just exactly who are all these people resulting in the largest turnouts in recent history that are voting for Trump in the primaries held thus far? Are they aliens? Are they from Hillary's Area 51?
