Lucylastic -> RE: Clinton vs. Trump, 2016 (5/11/2016 2:20:42 AM)

Interestingly enough, the PPP came out with polling numbers yesterday, it is really interesting:)http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2015/PPP_Release_National_51016.pdf
You can download the PDF and see for yourself....

“Hillary Clinton certainly is favored to win the Presidential race this fall,” said
Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “But it might not be the giant
blowout it’s been made out to be in some quarters. Donald Trump has quickly
gotten most rank and file Republican voters behind him and that has him
positioned as a modest underdog for the general rather than a massive one.”
Bernie Sanders continues to do the best in general election match ups, leading
Trump 47-37 with Johnson at 3% and Stein at 1% in the full field, and leading.

“The biggest question in the race at this point is whether Hillary Clinton will be
able to get Bernie Sanders’ supporters unified around her once the nomination
process has run its course,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy
Polling. “If she does this 4 point lead she has right now could quickly become a 6
or 8 point lead.”

There's been a lot of recent coverage of Donald Trump's embrace of various
conspiracy theories, so we asked about a bunch of them on this poll to see which
ones his supporters believe and which ones even they say are a bridge too far.
Among voters with a favorable opinion of Trump:
-65% think President Obama is a Muslim, only 13% think he's a Christian.
-59% think President Obama was not born in the United States, only 23% think
that he was.
-27% think vaccines cause autism, 45% don't think they do, another 29% are not
sure.
-24% think Antonin Scalia was murdered, just 42% think he died naturally,
another 34% are unsure.

Much has been made of Trump's unpopularity over the course of this campaign
and certainly we find that to be the case too- only 34% of voters have a favorable
opinion of him to 61% who have an unfavorable one. But we decided to take it a
step further in finding out just how much people dislike Trump, by matching him
in a series of heads to heads with things such as root canals, cockroaches, and
even hipsters to see who voters had a higher opinion of. Here's how it stacked up:
Do you have a higher opinion of Donald Trump or
