Clinton Seen as Winner in November; A Trump Presidency Inspires Anxiety
- 8 years ago
Most Americans expect that Hillary Clinton would prevail against her leading GOP opponent in November, while Bernie Sanders’ chances are rated less well.
The thought of Donald Trump as president inspires high levels of public anxiety.
A new ABC News/Washington Post poll also finds Americans divided about the need for a third party in this country – but not so divided about a potential independent run by Trump, should he fail to win the GOP nomination.
Fewer than a quarter say they’d even consider voting for him as an independent candidate for president.
With Trump as the GOP nominee vs. Clinton, 54 percent of Americans say they’d expect Clinton to win; among registered voters , Clinton has 52 percent support.
Clinton’s seen by much wider margins as beating Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio.
Sanders, for his part, is seen as beating Cruz or Rubio but potentially losing to Trump.
