Trump Just Hit A Major New Milestone, All Because Of These Two Groups Of Americans
Donald Trump has hit his highest level of support among Republican voters, fueled by major increases in support from woman and college graduates and continued increased in his core constituencies, according to a new CNN/ORC poll released Thursday.
The key numbers:
- 32 percent of all GOP voters surveyed support Trump, an eight-point increase over the past month.
- Support among GOP women rose 13 percentage points in the past month.
- Trump leaped 12 percentage points among Republicans with college degrees.
- 51 percent of voters believe Trump will win the Republican nomination.
Meanwhile, Trump’s base and many conservatives continue to support him.
- 41% of Republicans who back the Tea Party movement support Trump, up from 27% in August.
- 31% of men support Trump, up from 27% last month.
- 33% of GOP voters without degrees support him, up from 28% in August.
Ben Carson, at 19 percent, is second among all GOP candidates. Carson’s numbers show a 10-point increase since August.
The outsider factor continues to dominate the Republican contest. Trump and Carson combined total 51 percent of the vote. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was third at 9 percent. Sen. Ted Cruz, T-TX, was fourth at 7 percent. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker were each at 5%. All other Republican candidates polled 3 percent or less.
As Republican frontrunner Trump gains, Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton falls.
A Quinnipiac University poll out Thursday had Clinton trialing Sen. Bernie Sander, D-VT, 41 percent to 40 percent. Vice President Joe Biden polled at 12 percent.
“Sen. Bernie Sanders has become the Eugene McCarthy of 2016,” said Quinnipiac pollster Peter Brown. “He is the candidate of the Democratic left, against his own party’s bosses and their prized presidential candidate, Secretary Hillary Clinton.”
