Majority of Voters ‘Could Not See’ Supporting Donald Trump, Ted Cruz or Hillary Clinton
Sanders and Kasich don't perform much better
More than half of registered voters said they could not see themselves supporting Donald Trump, Ted Cruz or Hillary Clinton in a new poll.
The NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found that Donald Trump elicited the most responses from registered voters saying they “could not see” themselves supporting him, with 68% agreeing. Some 61% said the same about Cruz, 58% about Clinton, and just under 50% for both Bernie Sanders and John Kasich.
Still, should their party’s current front runner become the nominee, 73% of Democrats said they would be satisfied with Clinton as their candidate, compared with 63% of Republicans who said they would be satisfied with Trump.
“The Republicans have a party problem, and the Democrats have a candidate problem,” explained Democratic pollster Peter Hart, who worked on the poll. His Republican colleague commented, “As primaries go deeper, the opposition [becomes] more negative.”
The poll was conducted among 1,000 registered voters from April 10 to 14 and has an overall margin of error of +/- 3.1%.
