24% of voters will opt out of a Clinton-Trump race.


Nearly one-in-four voters say they will stay home or vote third party if Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are the major party presidential candidates.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Trump and Clinton tied at 38% each. But 16% say they would vote for some other candidate if the presidential election comes down to those two, while six percent (6%) would stay home. Only two percent (2%) are undecided given those options...

...Trump is more toxic within his own party than Clinton is in hers. If Trump is the Republican nominee, 16% of GOP voters say they would choose a third-party candidate, while five percent (5%) would stay home. Sixty-six percent (66%) would vote for Trump, but 10% would vote for Clinton instead.

If Clinton is the Democratic nominee, 11% of Democrats would vote third-party, while three percent (3%) would stay home. Seventy-five percent (75%) would support the nominee, but 11% say they would vote for Trump.

Among voters not affiliated with either major party, nearly one-third say they would opt out: 21% would choose a candidate other than Trump or Clinton, and 10% would stay home. Trump leads Clinton 38% to 27% among unaffiliated voters...

5. 24% of voters will opt out of a Clinton-Trump race? Good thing we only need 50% plus 1 to elect her!

7. 11% of Dems voting for Trump...

is the same as voted for Bush in 2000. Jaw-dropping numbers for those voting third party from both parties. I doubt the third party Dems will reconsider and fall in line with Clinton, but I suspect a lot of those Reps will end up voting for Trump.

I am thinking the same thing too. Guys like George Will are going to split the republican party apart.  All of us stupid people that are/were the base gettin' all uppity and not listening to the sage advice of our betters. If Trump is pushed out, it is going to be a bloodbath.
