Some pretty amazing stuff deep in the internals:
I boxed in some very critical benchmark internals.
First, female vote:
Clinton vs. Bush: Clinton +15
Clinton vs. Trump: Clinton +31
Clinton vs. Walker: Clinton+19
Obama won the female vote by +11 in 2012 and by +13 in 2008. +15 to +31 for Clinton, if this number holds, gives her a practically unbreakable advantage over all three of her challengers.
Male vote:
Clinton vs. Bush: Bush +6
Clinton vs. Trump: Clinton +6
Clinton vs. Walker: Clinton +5
Romney got 59% of the male vote in 2012 and beat Obama in this category by almost 19 points. A Republican who is winning the male vote in single digits will not win the election. Already, a 19 point spread was not enough.
% of the Republican vote.
vs. Bush: 11%
vs. Trump: 24%
vs. Walker: 16%
Traditionally, the nominee of a major party gets from 7-9% of the vote from the opposition party. Against Trump, Clinton gets 1 out of every 4 Republican votes.
AGE: 65 and older
vs. Bush: Bush +9
vs. Trump: Clinton +9
vs. Walker: mathematical absolute tie (48/48)
The 65 and older group is a group that traditionally go strongly for the Republicans.
Geography - the SOUTH:
vs. Bush: Clinton +1
vs. Trump: Clinton +21
vs. Walker: Clinton +8
If there is one area of the country where the GOP should easily be winning, it's the South.
Also note the rural vote: Bush crushes Clinton in the Rural vote, and Walker also wins by +8, but against Trump, it's a tie. A potential Clinton vs. Trump battle in the fall of 2016 would therefore open up traditionally Republican, very rural states for Clinton to win easily, like the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Alaska, etc.
These internals are VERY telling. And show a very consistent pattern among certain groups that should be shoo-in for the GOP.
